     DESCRIPTION
          Mknod creates a new file named by the path name pointed to
          by path .  The mode of the new file is initialized from mode
          .  Where the value of mode is interpreted as follows:
               0170000 file type; one of the following:
                    0010000 fifo special
                    0020000 character special
                    0040000 directory
                    0060000 block special
                    0100000 or 0000000 ordinary file
               0004000 set user ID on execution
               0002000 set group ID on execution
               0001000 save text image after execution
               0000777 access permissions; constructed from the
               following
                    0000400 read by owner
                    0000200 write by owner
                    0000100 execute (search on directory) by owner
                    0000070 read, write, execute (search) by group
                    0000007 read, write, execute (search) by others

          Values of mode other than those above are undefined and
          should not be used.

          The file's owner ID is set to the process's effective user
          ID.  The file's group ID is set to the process's effective
          group ID.

          The low-order 9 bits of mode are modified by the process's
          file mode creation mask: all bits set in the process's file
          mode creation mask are cleared.  See umask (2).  If mode
          indicates a block or character special file, dev is a
          configuration dependent specification of a character or
          block I/O device.  If mode does not indicate a block special
          or character special device, dev is ignored.

          Mknod will fail and the new file will not be created if one
          or more of the following are true:

               A component of the path prefix is not a directory.
               [ENOTDIR]

               A component of the path prefix does not exist.
               [ENOENT]

               The directory in which the file is to be created is
               located on a read-only file system.  [EROFS]

               The named file exists.  [EEXIST]

               Path points outside the process's allocated address
               space.  [EFAULT]

          Upon successful completion a value of 0 is returned.
          Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and errno is set to
