9.36 mknod ¶

int mknod(int dir_fd, const char *path, int path_len, int mode, int dev);

This syscall creates files in the passed path and dir. The type is chosen by code, which uses the same format as stat’s mode field.

The syscall returns 0 or -1 on failure, with the following errno:

• EACCES: Bad memory addresses.
• EINVAL: The passed path length is way too big, or the mode is invalid.
• EIO: Internal error.
• EEXIST: The object already exists.
