NAME

       mkdevmaps - make device_maps entries

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/mkdevmaps

DESCRIPTION

       checks for the following files under /dev:

	 audio		 /dev/audio, /dev/audioctl, /dev/sound/...
	 tape		 /dev/rst*, /dev/nrst*, /dev/rmt/...
	 floppy 	 /dev/diskette, /dev/fd*, /dev/rdiskette, /dev/rfd*
	 removable disk  /dev/dsk/c0t?d0s?, /dev/rdsk/c0t?d0s?
	 frame buffer	 /dev/fb
