If DEVFS is available, it is also notified of 49the presence of the new device. The device will be owned by 50.Va uid , 51with the group ownership as 52.Va gid , 53and with the name as specified in 54.Va name . 55The permissions of the file specified in 56.Va perms 57are defined in 58.Aq Pa sys/stat.h : 59.Pp 60.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact 61#define S_IRWXU 0000700 /* RWX mask for owner */ 62#define S_IRUSR 0000400 /* R for owner */ 63#define S_IWUSR 0000200 /* W for owner */ 64#define S_IXUSR 0000100 /* X for owner */ 65 66#define S_IRWXG 0000070 /* RWX mask for group */ 67#define S_IRGRP 0000040 /* R for group */ 68#define S_IWGRP 0000020 /* W for group */ 69#define S_IXGRP 0000010 /* X for group */ 70 71#define S_IRWXO 0000007 /* RWX mask for other */ 72#define S_IROTH 0000004 /* R for other */ 73#define S_IWOTH 0000002 /* W for other */ 74#define S_IXOTH 0000001 /* X for other */ 75 76#define S_ISUID 0004000 /* set user id on execution */ 77#define S_ISGID 0002000 /* set group id on execution */ 78#define S_ISVTX 0001000 /* sticky bit */ 79#ifndef _POSIX_SOURCE 80#define S_ISTXT 0001000 81#endif 82.Ed 83.Pp 84The 85.Fn make_dev_alias 86function takes the returned 87.Fa dev_t 88from 89.Fn make_dev 90and makes another (aliased) name for this device. It is an error to call 91.Fn make_dev_alias 92prior to calling 93.Fn make_dev . 94.Pp 95The 96.Fn destroy_dev 97function takes the returned 98.Fa dev_t 99from 100.Fn make_dev 101and destroys the registration for that device. Do not call 102.Fn destroy_dev 103on devices that were created with 104.Fn make_dev_alias . 105.Sh HISTORY 106The 107.Fn make_dev 108and 109.Fn destroy_dev 110functions first appeared in 111.Fx 4.0 . 112The function 113.Fn make_dev_alias 114first appeared in 115.Fx 4.1 . 116
