Subject: [PATCH] static-nodes: add shell consumable format
Date: Thu, 19 Sep 2013 10:48:56 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1379602136-3937-1-git-send-email-dreisner@archlinux.org> (raw)

This adds an additional format to kmod static-nodes, which writes
output as shell commands, e.g.:

  mknod '/dev/btrfs-control' c 10 234
  mknod '/dev/loop-control' c 10 237
  mkdir -m 755 -p '/dev/net'
  mknod '/dev/net/tun' c 10 200

Consumers of this format can simply pipe the output to a shell,
creating the necessary static nodes. This could be useful for an
initramfs which doesn't have systemd-tmpfiles but which still relies on
static node creation which recent udev will no longer handle.
