NAME
       full - always full device

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

       Seeks on /dev/full will always succeed.

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