- 'makedevs' is a utility used and created by the Linux Router Project.

+ There are two choices for command line behaviour, the interface
+ as used by LEAF/Linux Router Project, or a device table file.
+ .
+ 'leaf' is traditionally what busybox follows, it allows multiple
+ devices of a particluar type to be created per command.
+ e.g. /dev/hda[0-9]
+ Device properties are passed as command line arguments.
+ .
+ 'table' reads device properties from a file or stdin, allowing
+ a batch of unrelated devices to be made with one command.
