+.Sh NAME
+.Nm makedev ,
+.Nm major ,
+.Nm minor
+.Nd device number conversion
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/types.h
+.Ft dev_t
+.Fn makedev "int major" "int minor"
+.Ft int
+.Fn major "dev_t dev"
+.Ft int
+.Fn minor "dev_t dev"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn makedev
+macro allows a unique device number to be generated based on its
+.Fa major
+and
+.Fa minor
+number.
+The
+.Fn major
+and
+.Fn minor
+macros can be used to obtain the original numbers from the device number
+.Fa dev .
+.Pp
+All block and character devices are uniquely
+identified by a pair of major and minor numbers.
+The major number refers to a certain device class (e.g. disks, TTYs)
+while the minor number identifies an instance within the device class.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn major
+macro returns a device major number that has a value between 0 and 4095 (0xfff).
+The
+.Fn minor
+macro returns a device minor number that has a value between 0 and 1048575
+(0xfffff).
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr mknod 2 ,
+.Xr devname 3 ,
+.Xr MAKEDEV 8
+.Sh HISTORY
+The major and minor numbers used to support values between 0 and 255
+(0xff) until
+.Nx 1.3
+when the macros were changed to support their current ranges.
