+Create a filesystem node (file, device special file or named pipe)
+named filename. mode specifies both the permissions to use and the
+type of node to be created, being combined (bitwise OR) with one of
+S_IFREG, S_IFCHR, S_IFBLK, and S_IFIFO (those constants are available
+in \module{stat}). For S_IFCHR and S_IFBLK, major and minor define the
+newly created device special file, otherwise they are ignored.
