odld

odld(8) 						      System Manager's Manual							   odld(8)

NAME

       odld - Daemon that supports the Software On-Demand Loading (SoftODL) service

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/odld user-id group-id odl-db

OPERANDS

       Identifies the user process.  Specifies the group to which the user belongs.  Specifies the location of font files accessed by the daemon.

DESCRIPTION

       The odld daemon supports the Software On-Demand Loading (SoftODL) service.  This service handles font files for user-defined characters. It
       is available only when optional Tru64 UNIX subsets with software for Chinese, Japanese, or Korean are installed on  the	system.  The  odld
       daemon processes the font loading requests issued by the Asian terminal driver (atty) through the utx pseudo device driver.

       The  odl  parameter  of the stty command spawns the odld daemon (see stty(1)).  The stty command includes additional parameters that affect
       SoftODL operation.

FILES

       The utx device special files

SEE ALSO

       Commands: stty(1), utxd(8)

       Files: cp_dirs(4), atty(7), utx(7)

       Others: odl(5)
