how to create /dev/fd/# ?

2004-11-14 Thread Eugene M. Minkovskii 
Hi! I'm working under FreeBSD 5.2.1

I was trying to create if-filter for /etc/printcap. So, I writing
some frome handbook:

exec 31 12
/usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=$GS_DEVICE \
-sOutputFile=/dev/fd/3 - -c quit

but, It's does not work --- there not device /dev/fd/3. Whn I
type in Linux

exec 31

in /dev/fd creating new node --- /dev/fd/3. But not in FreeBSD!
Now I am using temporary some work around for my printcap:

/usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=$GS_DEVICE \
-sOutputFile=- - -c quit

Who can tell me: why I can't create /dev/fd/3 (evenly under
root!), and what shell I do for create this?

Ok, I was reading this, and what? What shell I do in the bash?

Add the following to /etc/fstab:

fdescfs /dev/fd fdescfs rw  0   0

Then do mount fdescfs or mount /dev/fd.
