NAME

       utxd - Daemon that spawns service daemons used by the Asian terminal driver

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/utxd

DESCRIPTION

       The  utxd  daemon  spawner acts as an agent for the Asian terminal driver (atty). The utxd daemon spawns other daemons that support special
       services required for Asian language input. The service daemons include odld (which supports the SoftODL service), kkcd (which supports the
       Kana-Kanji conversion method), and simd (which supports the phrase input method).  This software is available only when optional Tru64 UNIX
       subsets with Asian country support are installed on the system.

       By using the select() system call, utxd waits for requests from the atty driver.  When a request to spawn a daemon for a particular service
       is received by utxd, it allocates a new utx device for use by the spawned daemon.  The newly created daemon then talks directly to the atty
       driver through the utx device.

       The utxd daemon looks up the location of requested service daemon by reading the /var/adm/utx/utxd.conf configuration file.

ERRORS

       By using the syslog() function, utxd sends error messages to the syslog files. Errors can include the following: no ports could be opened

   Explanation:
       No utx device was free, so utxd was unable to open one for a requested service.

       select count error

   Explanation:
       An error occurred when utxd executed the select() system call.

       can't alloc mem

   Explanation:
       The utxd daemon could not allocate enough memory.

       send error

   Explanation:
       An error occurred when utxd attempted to send a reply message.

       counter mismatch in receive 0

   Explanation:
       A utxd internal error occurred.
