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)
