172 There are two choices for command line behaviour, the interface
173 as used by LEAF/Linux Router Project, or a device table file.
174 .
175 'leaf' is traditionally what busybox follows, it allows multiple
176 devices of a particluar type to be created per command.
177 e.g. /dev/hda[0-9]
178 Device properties are passed as command line arguments.
179 .
180 'table' reads device properties from a file or stdin, allowing
181 a batch of unrelated devices to be makde with one command.
182 User/group names are allowed as an alternative to uid/gid.
