NAME

   full - always full device

CONFIGURATION

   If  your  system  does  not  have  /dev/full created already, it can be
   created with the following commands:

           mknod -m 666 /dev/full c 1 7
           chown root:root /dev/full

DESCRIPTION

   File /dev/full has major device number 1 and minor device number 7.

   Writes to the /dev/full device will fail with an  ENOSPC  error.   This
   can be used to test how a program handles disk-full errors.

   Reads from the /dev/full device will return \0 characters.

   Seeks on /dev/full will always succeed.
