NAME

       devfs_mk_dir -  Create a directory in the devfs namespace.

SYNOPSIS

       devfs_handle_t devfs_mk_dir (devfs_handle_t dir, const char *name, void
       *info);

ARGUMENTS

       dir          The handle to the parent devfs directory entry. If this is
                   NULL the new name is relative to the root of the devfs.

       name         The name of the entry.

       info          An  arbitrary  pointer  which will be associated with the
                   entry.

DESCRIPTION

       Use of this function is  optional.  The  devfs_register  function  will
       automatically  create intermediate directories as needed. This function
       is provided for efficiency reasons,  as  it  provides  a  handle  to  a
       directory.   Returns  a  handle  which  may  later be used in a call to
       devfs_unregister.  On failure NULL is returned.
