deallocate

deallocate(1)                                                                                                                        deallocate(1)

NAME

       deallocate - device deallocation

SYNOPSIS

       deallocate [-s] device

       deallocate [-s] [-F] device

       deallocate [-s] -I

       The  deallocate utility deallocates a device allocated to the evoking user. device can be a device defined in  device_allocate(4) or one of
       the device special files associated with the device. It resets the ownership and the permission on all device special files associated with
       device, disabling the user's access to that device. This option can be used by an authorized user to remove access to the device by another
       user. The required authorization is solaris.device.allocate.

       When deallocation or forced deallocation is performed, the appropriate device cleaning program is  executed,  based  on  the   contents  of
       device_allocate(4).  These cleaning programs are normally stored in /etc/security/lib.

       The following options are supported:

       device          Deallocate the device associated with the device special file specified by device.

       -s              Silent. Suppresses any diagnostic output.

       -F device       Forces  deallocation of the device associated with the file specified by device. Only a user with the solaris.device.revoke
                       authorization is permitted to use this option.

       -I              Forces deallocation of all allocatable devices. Only a user with the solaris.device.revoke authorization  is  permitted  to
                       use this option. This option should only be used at system initialization.

       The following exit values are returned:

       non--zero       An error occurred.

       /etc/security/device_allocate

       /etc/security/device_maps

       /etc/security/dev/*

       /etc/security/lib/*

       The  functionality  described  in  this man page is available only if the Basic Security Module (BSM) has been enabled. See bsmconv(1M) for
       more information.

       /etc/security/dev, mkdevalloc(1M), and mkdevmaps(1M) might not be supported in a future release of the Solaris Operating Environment.
