+.Nd create site-specific device special files
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Op Fl fMsu
+.Op Fl m Ar mknod
+.Op Fl p Ar pax
+.Op Fl t Ar mtree
+.Bro Pa all | site-specific-argument Brc Op Ar ...
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+is used to create site-specific device special files.
+Each argument may be the word
+.Pa all
+or a site-specific argument.
+By default, there are no valid site-specific arguments,
+and the
+.Pa all
+argument has no effect;
+This may be changed by editing the script.
+.Pp
+The script is in
+.Pa /dev/MAKEDEV.local .
+Devices are created in the current working directory;
+in normal use,
+.Nm
+should be invoked with
+.Pa /dev
+as the current working directory.
+.Pp
+Supported options for
+.Nm
+are the same as for
+.Xr MAKEDEV 8 .

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+command appeared in
+.Bx 4.2 .
+Handling of the same command line options as
+.Xr MAKEDEV 8 ,
+and the use of
+.Xr MAKEDEV 8
+as a function library, was added in
+.Nx 5.0 .
+.Sh NOTES
+The relationship between
+.Nm
+and
+.Xr MAKEDEV 8
+is complex:
+.Bl -bullet
+.It
+If
+.Xr MAKEDEV 8
+is invoked with the
+.Pa all
+or
+.Pa local
+argument, then it will invoke
+.Nm
+as a child process, with options similar to
+those that were originally passed to
+.Xr MAKEDEV 8 ,
+and with the
+.Pa all
+argument.
+.It
+.Nm
+uses shell functions defined in
+.Xr MAKEDEV 8 .
+This is done by loading
+.Xr MAKEDEV 8
+using the shell
+.Dq \&.
+command, with the
+.Ev MAKEDEV_AS_LIBRARY
+variable set (to inform
+.Xr MAKEDEV 8
+that it should behave as a function library,
+not as an independent program).
