mknod(2) OSS System Calls Reference Manual
STANDARDS CONFORMANCE
The OSS file system does not support block special files. The file type S_IFBLK is therefore not
valid.
The following are HP extensions to the XPG4 Version 2 specification:
• The errno values [EFAULT], [EFSBAD], [ENOROOT], [ENXIO], and [EOSSNO-
TRUNNING] can be returned.
• Behavior is defined when values for the mode parameter other than S_IFIFO are
specified.
• Behavior is defined when values for the device parameter other than 0 (zero) are
specified.
