The section of the manual describing the makedev syntax is not
up-to-date with the current features, and does not properly describe
existing ones.
- extend the list of types with the requirements on the existence of
the target file or directory; for 'c', 'b', and 'p', the existence
requirement is inherited from mknod(2):
ERRORS
...
ENOENT A directory component in pathname does not exist or is a
dangling symbolic link.
for the other types, the existence requirements are extracted from
the source of makedev.c;
- format the types flags, so they are rendered in monospace;
- extend the 'mode' description, as it can be set to -1 for 'f', 'd',
or 'r', so that only the uid and gid are set. This is most useful
for 'r', where setting the same mode recursively for all the
sub-directories and files alike does not really make sense; indeed
in this case, the modes are usually set correctly when the package
(or rootfs overlay) installs the files, and only the uid and gid are
interesting to set;
- extend and update the examples to show-case the -1 mode use-case.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC.
