+#### fs.mknod(path, mode, callback)<a name="mknod"></a>
+
+Creates a node at `path` based on the mode passed which is either `FILE` or `DIRECTORY`. Asynchronous [mknod(2)](http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/mknod.html). Callback gets no additional arguments.
+
+Example:
+
+```javascript
+// Create a /dir directory
+fs.mknod('/dir', 'DIRECTORY', function(err) {
+  if(err) throw err;
+  // /dir is now created
+  
+  // Create a file inside /dir
+  fs.mknod('/dir/myfile', 'FILE', function(err) {
+    if(err) throw err;
+    // /dir/myfile now exists
+  });
+});
+```
+
 #### fs.rmdir(path, callback)<a name="rmdir"></a>
 
 Removes the directory at `path`. Asynchronous [rmdir(2)](http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/rmdir.html).
