NAME
dtab - automatic system configuration device table (2BSD)
DESCRIPTION
The dtab file contains a list of the devices that the autoconfig(8) program will attempt to attach to the system.
Each line describes one device which may be present on the system; additional devices of the same type require additional lines. The line
contains at least six fields separated by white space. Blank lines and comments can appear anywhere in the file except between fields;
comments are delimited by `#' and new line. The fields are (in order):
dev The device name, usually two characters
unit Either a unit number or a `?' indicating automatic selection of unit numbers.
addr The address of the device's first register, as a 16-bit octal number.
vector The interrupt vector, in octal.
BR The priority at which the device interrupts.
handler(s) One or more routine names with which the interrupt vector is filled.
