strsetup(8) System Manager's Manual strsetup(8)NAME
strsetup - STREAMS setup and information command
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/strsetup [-cdfi]
OPTIONS
Lists the current kernel configuration of STREAMS modules and devices. Any user can run the strsetup -c command. Deletes all character
special files listed in the configuration file that do not map to currently configured STREAMS drivers. Specifies a file that contains the
specifications to build third party or installation-specific character files for STREAMS-based drivers. It uses the same specification
format as the strsetup.conf file. Creates the STREAMS-based special files appropriate for your kernel configuration. By default the
strsetup command uses the information in the /etc/strsetup.conf file to build the STREAMS-based special files with the correct names, file
permissions, and minor numbers. If the strsetup.conf file does not exist, the strsetup command defaults to creating clone character spe-
cial files.
The strsetup -i command is run automatically at boot time.
DESCRIPTION
The strsetup command displays the setup of your STREAMS modules and creates the appropriate character special files for the STREAMS-based
drivers in your kernel configuration.
FILES
Default directory in which the -i option creates the pseudodevices

autopush(8) System Manager's Manual autopush(8)NAME
autopush - Manages the system's database of automatically pushed STREAMS modules
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/autopush -f file
/usr/sbin/autopush -r -M major -m minor
/usr/sbin/autopush -g -M major -m minor
FLAGS
Sets up the system database that contains the lists of modules to be automatically pushed on the streams for STREAMS devices. The file
argument specifies the system file from which the command will copy this configuration information. The -f flag is also used to place a
device's configuration information back into the database. Gets the configuration information in the system database for the STREAMS major
and minor device or devices specified by the -M and -m flags. Removes the configuration information in the system's database for the
STREAMS major and minor device or devices specified by the -M and -m flags.
DESCRIPTION
The autopush command manages the system's database of information for the automatic configuration of STREAMS devices. The autopush com-
mand's flags are mutually exclusive.
The command initializes the database with the names of the STREAMS devices to be automatically configured and a list of modules to use for
each device (-f flag). When a device is subsequently opened, the STREAMS subsystem pushes the modules on the stream for the device. The
autopush command also displays the current configuration information for a device in the database (-g flag), removes the information for a
device from the database (-r flag), and replaces the information that has previously been removed (-f flag). When the -f flag is used to
replace information in the database, the entire contents of the configuration file are copied. Also, the -r flag removes information only
temporarily, because it acts on the database. To permanently exclude a STREAMS device from the database, you must remove its information
from the configuration file.
A device stream can be automatically constructed for a STREAMS major device, a major device and any associated minor devices, or just the
minor devices, depending on the information in the configuration file. Tru64 UNIX provides the autopush.conf file for use as a configura-
tion file. You can use another file as long as the information in the file is written in the correct format. The autopush.conf file con-
tains one-line entries for each of the STREAMS devices that are to be automatically configured in the system. A line contains at least
four fields: Contains an integer representing the STREAMS device's major device. Contains an integer representing one or more minor
devices associated with the major device. If minor has a value of -1, then all the minor devices of the driver specified by major are
given the same autopush configuration. Contains an integer representing the last minor device in a range associated with the major device.
If last_minor has a value of 0 (zero), then the major device has only a single minor device for which the same stream must be constructed.
Contains the name of the module to be automatically pushed onto the stream. There can be multiple module name fields, up to a maximum of
eight, separated by spaces or commas.
The autopush command pushes modules in the order in which they are listed. This means that the first module named is positioned just above
the STREAMS device driver.
The configuration file can also contain comment lines, which begin with # (number sign) and end with newline.
If the major and minor arguments specified by the -M and -m flags of the -r flag option designate a range of minor devices, and minor
matches the first minor device number in the range, then the autopush command removes the configuration information for all of the minor
devices of the major device.
If the major and minor arguments specified by the -M and -m flags of the -g flag option are set for a range in the configuration file, the
autopush command returns the configuration information for the first minor device number, in addition to the other information.
EXAMPLES
To set up the automatic configuration information for the STREAMS devices in the system, enter:
autopush -f /etc/autopush.conf To obtain information about the stream for major device 28 and its minor device -2, enter:
autopush -g -M 28 -m -2
FILES
Specifies the modules to be pushed onto the streams for STREAMS devices.
