NAME
makedevice - make device number from major and minor numbers
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>

#include <sys/ddi.h>
dev_t makedevice(major_t majnum, minor_t minnum);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI).
PARAMETERS
majnum Major device number.

formed.
CONTEXT
makedevice() can be called from user or interrupt context.
