The .specdev file is a character special device file. It is used for all client communication, like cleartool, clearmake, clearaudit, and other ClearCase commands and processes.
If this file is not present, errors such as the following may occur:
cleartool: error: Unable to create directory <>: not a clearcase object.
RECREATE FILE
To recreate a missing .specdev file, cd to the /view directory and issue the following commands as root:
1. mknod .specdev c 0 0x000000
2. chmod 444 .specdev
3. chown root:root .specdev
Note: More information on special devices can be found by running man ioctl.
