QNX (all versions) uses a device file system, something that is now
available with linux 2.4 kernels. There are no entries in /dev unless
the appropriate device driver is running, and the physical device (or
software pseudo-device) actually exists on your system. You don’t
need to anticipate connecting a device to your system, you simply run
the appropriate driver, and it creates the /dev entry for you. There
is no disk-resident mount point, and therefore no need for mknod.

By the way…

How do you make a FIFO (named pipe) in QNX then?

There is a util called mkfifo that will do that for you
(and a clib function mkfifo() to do it from code).
