  Gnulib module: mknod
  
  Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  This function requires super-user privileges to create a fifo:
  FreeBSD 7.2, OpenBSD 3.8.
  @item
  This function mishandles trailing slash on some platforms:
  FreeBSD 7.2, Solaris 9.
  @item
  This function is missing on some platforms; however, the replacement
  always fails with @code{ENOSYS}:
  mingw, MSVC 9.
  @end itemize
  
  Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  Use of this function for anything except fifos is not portable,
  generally requiring super-user privileges and knowledge of supported
  device numbers.
  @end itemize
