+=head2 mknod
+
+ mknod mode devmajor devminor path
+
+This call creates block or character special devices, or
+named pipes (FIFOs).
+
+The C<mode> parameter should be the mode, using the standard
+constants. C<devmajor> and C<devminor> are the
+device major and minor numbers, only used when creating block
+and character special devices.
+
+=head2 mknod-b
+
+ mknod-b mode devmajor devminor path
+
+This call creates a block device node called C<path> with
+mode C<mode> and device major/minor C<devmajor> and C<devminor>.
+It is just a convenient wrapper around C<mknod>.
+
+=head2 mknod-c
+
+ mknod-c mode devmajor devminor path
+
+This call creates a char device node called C<path> with
+mode C<mode> and device major/minor C<devmajor> and C<devminor>.
+It is just a convenient wrapper around C<mknod>.
+
+=head2 mkswap
+
+ mkswap device
+
+Create a swap partition on C<device>.
+
+=head2 mkswap-L
+
+ mkswap-L label device
+
+Create a swap partition on C<device> with label C<label>.
+
+=head2 mkswap-U
+
+ mkswap-U uuid device
+
+Create a swap partition on C<device> with UUID C<uuid>.
