! \begin{funcdesc}{mknod}{path\optional{, mode=0600, major, minor}}
  Create a filesystem node (file, device special file or named pipe)
! named filename. mode specifies both the permissions to use and the
! type of node to be created, being combined (bitwise OR) with one of
! S_IFREG, S_IFCHR, S_IFBLK, and S_IFIFO (those constants are available
! in \module{stat}). For S_IFCHR and S_IFBLK, major and minor define the
! newly created device special file, otherwise they are ignored.
