Creation of special file

Please help.

I have non-commercial QNX-6.2 for evaluation purposes.
How do I create special device file with particular major and minor
numbers? mknod command just doesn’t exist, so what is the way?

Those concepts do not really apply to QNX.
Special device files are just ‘names’ being attached by respective
io-managers/drivers into namespace. Process manager keeps track of who
attached what name and forwards requests to owners.

That means you don’t have to create special files in advance - just start
the io-manager/driver and it will magically appear (and disappear, once
driver is killed).
