        !            18: makes a special file.
        !            19: The first argument is the
        !            20: .I name
        !            21: of the entry.
        !            22: The second is
        !            23: .B b
        !            24: to make a file for a block device,
        !            25: .B c
        !            26: to make a character device.
        !            27: The last two arguments are
        !            28: numbers specifying the

        !            33: device (e.g. unit, drive, or line number).

        !            37: The assignment of major device numbers
        !            38: varies with the implementation.
