Device table entries take the form of:

c Character special device file
b Block special device file
p Fifo (named pipe)
f: A regular file
d: Directory
c: Character special device file
b: Block special device file
p: Fifo (named pipe)
uid is the user id for the target file, gid is the group id for the
