It is meant to say create.

A device that supports both radio, video and VBI for the same V4L2
input will create three device nodes:
	/dev/video0
	/dev/radio0
	/dev/vbi0

As all are associated to the same video input, and an ioctl send 
to one device may affect the other devices too, as they all associated
with the same hardware.

Thanks,
Mauro
