NAME
       deallocate - device deallocation

SYNOPSIS
       deallocate [-s] [-w] [-F] [-z zonename]
	    [-c dev-class | -g dev-type | device]

       deallocate [-s] [-w] [-F] [-z zonename] -I

DESCRIPTION
       The  deallocate	command frees an allocated device. It resets the ownership and permissions on all device special files associated with the
       device, disabling access to that device. deallocate runs the device cleaning program for that device as specified in device_allocate(4).

       The default deallocate operation deallocates devices allocated to the user.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       -c dev-class    Deallocates all devices of the specified device class.

       -F device       Forces deallocation of the device associated with the file specified by device. Only a user with the  solaris.device.revoke
		       authorization is permitted to use this option.

       -I	       Forces  deallocation  of  all allocatable devices. Only a user with the solaris.device.revoke authorization is permitted to
		       use this option. This option should only be used at system initialization.

       -s	       Silent. Suppresses any diagnostic output.

       The following options are supported when the system is configured with Trusted Extensions:

       -g dev-type    Deallocates a device of device type matching dev-type.

       -w	      Runs the device cleaning program in a windowing environment. If a windowing version of the program exists, it is used.  Oth-
		      erwise, the standard version is run in a terminal window.

       -z zonename    Deallocates device from the zone specified by zonename.
