While usually all Linux commands are spelled in lowercase, that's not the case of the MAKEDEV
script, which is in uppercase. Is there a reason for that?
It is likely that Linux borrowed this script from a pre-existing Unix.
The earliest version of this script that I've been able to track down is called /dev/MAKE
on BSD 4, which I believe is from around 1980. It is obviously named that way because it makes the device files. The upper-casing of the name may have been to distinguish it from the device files themselves, but that's speculating.
Before that, the device files seems to have been made with an actual Makefile, as in Bell Labs Research V7 snapshot (1979), and before that I'm not sure the /dev
hierarchy existed at all.
With BSD 4.1 (1982), this script was still called /dev/MAKE
, but in BSD 4.1c_2 (1983) there seems to have existed a /dev/MAKEDEV.local
script of some description. It is not clear whether there ever was a /dev/MAKEDEV
script alongside it.
In the BSD 4.4 Lite2 release (1995 according to the repository, but the SCCS timestamp in the file itself says 8.1 (Berkeley) 6/9/93
) we can see the script with its final name /dev/MAKEDEV
along with a couple of system-specific MAKEDEV
scripts. By this time the script already exists with the same name on the Linux side (as mentioned by Stephen Kitt).
As far as I can determine, this is the history of MAKEDEV
on Linux:
/INSTALL/mkdev
;/dev/MAKEDEV
in version 0.96 of the root diskette;So the key to the script’s name is the switch from /INSTALL/mkdev
to /dev/MAKEDEV
. I’d guess that it was upper-cased to avoid any potential confusion and namespace clashes with device node names, since they (always?) start with a lower-case letter. This was long before the FHS, when binaries lived in various places (including /etc
), so having a device node creation script in /dev
was sensible enough.
