 * Name: mknod
 *
 * Description:
 *   The mknod() function shall create a new file named by the pathname to
 *   which the argument path points.
 *
 *   The file type for path is OR'ed into the mode argument, and the
 *   application shall select one of the following symbolic constants:
 *
 *          S_IFIFO            FIFO-special
 *          S_IFCHR            Character-special (non-portable)
 *          S_IFDIR            Directory (non-portable)
 *          S_IFBLK            Block-special (non-portable)
 *          S_IFREG            Regular (non-portable)
 *
 *   The only portable use of mknod() is to create a FIFO-special file.
 *   If mode is not S_IFIFO or dev is not 0, the behavior of mknod() is
 *   unspecified.
 *
 *   The permissions for the new file are OR'ed into the mode argument.
 *
 * Input Parameters:
 *   pathname - The full path to node.
 *   mode     - File type and permission.
 *   dev      - Ignored.
 *
 * Returned Value:
 *   0 is returned on success; otherwise, -1 is returned with errno set
 *   appropriately.
