NAME

       lssf - list a special file

SYNOPSIS

       special_file ...

       special_file

DESCRIPTION

       In the first form, lists information about a special file.  For each special_file name, determines the major number of the special file and
       whether it is block or character (using It then scans the system for the device that is associated with the special file.  When the  device
       is found, the minor number of the special file is decoded.

       A  mnemonic  description  of  the  minor number is printed on standard output along with the hardware path (in other words, address) of the
       device.	Mnemonics used to describe the fields are closely related to the options used with (see mksf(1M)).

       In the second form, displays the list of stale device special files present in selected directories under the directory.

       In the third form, executes a Critical Resource Analysis (CRA) on the

   Options
       recognizes the following options:

	      Displays the stale device special files present in the
		   directories below, which contain special files for mass storage devices.  The stale device special files  correspond  to  nodes
		   that  have  an entry in the system I/O configuration files but the corresponding device is not found.  The device special files
		   can either be legacy or persistent (see intro(7)).

DIAGNOSTICS

       Most diagnostic messages from are self explanatory.  Listed below are some messages deserving further  clarification.   Warnings  allow	to
       continue.

   Warnings
       There is no information about the device in the kernel.
		 The special file is not usable.  Use to remove the special file (see rmsf(1M)).

       The major number associated with the special file is not in the kernel.
		 Use to add the appropriate driver to the kernel (see kcmodule(1M)).

       The indicated device driver or device class
		 is  not present in the kernel.  An of a special file pointing to an unusable device fails.  To make the device usable, the appro-
		 priate device driver and/or device class must be added to the kernel using If the device is no longer needed, should be  used	to
		 remove the special files and update the system I/O configuration files.

       The file is not associated with an IO device.

EXAMPLES

       Suppose a special file is created with the command The command then produces:

NAME

       list_devices - list allocatable devices

SYNOPSIS

       list_devices [-s] [ -U uid] -l [device]

       list_devices [-s] [ -U uid] -n [device]

       list_devices [-s] [ -U uid] -u [device]

       The list_devices utility lists the allocatable devices in the system according to specified qualifications.

       The  device  and all device special files associated with the device are listed. The device argument is optional and, if it is not present,
       all relevant devices are listed.

       The following options are supported:

       -l [device]     Lists the pathname(s) of the device special files associated with the device that are allocatable to the  current  process.
                       If device is given, lists only the files associated with the specified device.

       -n [device]     Lists  the  pathname(s)  of device special files associated with the device that are allocatable to the current process but
                       are not currently allocated. If device is given, lists only the files associated with that device.

       -s              Silent. Suppresses any diagnostic output.

       -u [device]     Lists the pathname(s) of device special files, associated with the device that are allocated to the owner  of  the  current
                       process. If device is given, list only the files associated with that device.

       -U uid          Uses the user ID uid instead of the real user ID of the current process when performing the list_devices operation.  Only a
                       user with the solaris.device.revoke authorization can use this option.

       The following exit values are returned:

       non--zero       An error occurred.
