-.TH MKNODAT 2 2006-04-06 "Linux 2.6.16" "Linux Programmer's Manual"
-.SH NAME
-mknodat \- create a special or ordinary file relative to a directory file descriptor
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.nf
-.B #include <sys/stat.h>
-.sp
-.BI "int mknodat(int " dirfd ", const char *" pathname ", mode_t " mode \
-", dev_t " dev );
-.fi
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The
-.BR mknodat ()
-system call operates in exactly the same way as
-.BR mknod (2),
-except for the differences described in this manual page.
-
-If the pathname given in 
-.I pathname
-is relative, then it is interpreted relative to the directory
-referred to by the file descriptor
-.IR dirfd 
-(rather than relative to the current working directory of 
-the calling process, as is done by
-.BR mknod (2)
-for a relative pathname).
-
-If
-.I pathname
-is relative and 
-.I dirfd
-is the special value
-.BR AT_FDCWD ,
-then
-.I pathname
-is interpreted relative to the current working 
-directory of the calling process (like
-.BR mknod (2)).
-
-If
-.IR pathname
-is absolute, then 
-.I dirfd 
-is ignored.
-.SH "RETURN VALUE"
-On success,
-.BR mknodat () 
-returns 0.  
-On error, \-1 is returned and
-.I errno
-is set to indicate the error.
-.SH ERRORS
-The same errors that occur for
-.BR mknod (2)
-can also occur for
-.BR mknodat ().
-The following additional errors can occur for 
-.BR mknodat ():
-.TP
-.B EBADF
-.I dirfd
-is not a valid file descriptor.
-.TP
-.B ENOTDIR
-.I pathname
-is relative and
-.I dirfd
-is a file descriptor referring to a file other than a directory.
-.SH NOTES
-See
-.BR openat (2)
-for an explanation of the need for
-.BR mknodat ().
-.SH "CONFORMING TO"
-This system call is non-standard but is proposed
-for inclusion in a future revision of POSIX.1.
-.SH VERSIONS
-.BR mknodat ()
-was added to Linux in kernel 2.6.16.
-.SH "SEE ALSO"
-.BR mknod (2),
-.BR openat (2),
-.BR path_resolution (2)
