  NAME

    full - simulate full-memory resource

  DESCRIPTION

    The /dev/full special device file simulates a resource that is full. Any
    attempt to write to this file results in the error [ENOSPC]. Reading from
    the file produces an endless stream of meaningless bytes.

    This file can be created using the following commands:

    /usr/sbin/mknod -m 666 /dev/full c 48 2
    chown $(hostname)+Administrator:+Administrators full

  FILE

    /dev/full
