Well, I didn't think it was needed since the vty entry in the
existing MAKEDEV does a fine job. In retrospect, I definately
should have changed the comment, however, since it makes it look
like it's only for codrv: (sorry about that)
# vty* virtual console devices for codrv (cleans up pc devices)
# ...
# hv 22-apr-93 use this to create virtual consoles for codrv
# /dev/ttyv00-12
# use as MAKEDEV vtyNN to create NN entries
vty*)
chr=12
units=`expr $i : 'vty\(.*\)'`
umask 0
eval `echo ${chr} ${units} | awk ' { c=$1; n=$2 } END {
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
printf("rm -f ttyv%01x; mknod ttyv%01x c %d %d;", \
i, i, c, i); }'`
umask 77
