drvconfig(1M)                                             System Administration Commands                                             drvconfig(1M)

NAME

       drvconfig - apply permission and ownership changes to devices

SYNOPSIS

       drvconfig [-bn] [-a alias_name] [-c class_name] [-i drivername] [-m major_num] [-r root_dir]

DESCRIPTION

       devfsadm(1M) is now the preferred command and should be used instead of drvconfig.

       The  default  operation  of  drvconfig is to apply permission and ownership changes to devices. Normally, this command is run automatically
       after a new driver has been installed (with add_drv(1M)) and the system has been rebooted.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -aalias_name    Add the name alias_name to the list of aliases that this driver is known by. This option, if used, must be used with the -m
                       major_num, the -b and the -i drivername options.

       -b              Add  a  new  major number to name binding into the kernel's internal name_to_major tables. This option is not normally used
                       directly, but is used by other utilities such as add_drv(1M). Use of the -b option requires that -i and -m be used also. No
                       /devices entries are created.

       -cclass_name    The  driver  being added to the system exports the class class_name. This option is not normally used directly, but is used
                       by other utilities. It is only effective when used with the -b option.

       -idrivername    Only configure the devices for the named driver. The following options are used by the implementation  of  add_drv(1M)  and
                       rem_drv(1M), and may not be supported in future versions of Solaris:

       -mmajor_num     Specify the major number major_num for this driver to add to the kernel's name_to_major binding tables.

       -n              Do not try to load and attach any drivers, or if the -i option is given, do not try to attach the driver named drivername.

       -rroot_dir      Perform operations under root_dir, rather than directly under root.

EXIT STATUS

       0               Successful completion.

       non-zero        An error occurred.

FILES

       /devices                Device nodes directory

       /etc/minor_perm         Minor mode permissions

       /etc/name_to_major      Major number binding

       /etc/driver_classes     Driver class binding file
