>Description:
mknod(1) manual page doesn't refer to mkfifo(1). Those of
us brought up on pre-POSIX SysV systems expect to be able
to make FIFOs with 'mknod', so a SEE ALSO entry in the manual
page would be appropriate.
>How-To-Repeat:
Read mknod(1) manual page.
>Fix:
Add mkfifo(1) (and mkfifo(2)?) to the SEE ALSO section of the
mknod(1) manual page.
