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. OPERANDS
The following operands are supported: device Deallocates the specified device. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Successful completion. 20 No entry for the specified device. other value An error occurred. FILES

The functionality described in this man page is available only if Solaris Auditing has been enabled. See bsmconv(1M) for more information. On systems configured with Trusted Extensions, the functionality is enabled by default. /etc/security/dev, mkdevalloc(1M), and mkdevmaps(1M) might not be supported in a future release of the Solaris Operating Environment.

NAME
allocate - device allocation SYNOPSIS
allocate [-s] [-U uname] device allocate [-s] [-U uname] -g dev-type allocate [-s] [-U uname] -F device The allocate utility manages the ownership of devices through its allocation mechanism. It ensures that each device is used by only one qualified user at a time. The device argument specifies the device to be manipulated. To preserve the integrity of the device's owner, the allocate operation is exe- cuted on all the device special files associated with that device. The argument dev-type is the device type to be operated on and can only be used with the -g option. The default allocate operation allocates the device special files associated with device to the uid of the current process. If the -F option is specified, the device cleaning program is executed when allocation is performed. This cleaning program is found in /etc/security/lib. The name of this program is found in the device_allocate(4) entry for the device in the dev-exec field. Only authorized users may allocate a device. The required authorizations are specified in device_allocate(4). The following options are supported: -g dev-type Allocates a non-allocated device with a device-type matching dev-type. -s Silent. Suppresses any diagnostic output. -F device Reallocates the device allocated to another user. This option is often used with -U to reallocate a specific device to a specific user. Only a user with the solaris.device.revoke authorization is permitted to use this option. -U uname Uses the user ID uname instead of the user ID of the current process when performing the allocate operation. Only a user with the solaris.device.revoke authorization is permitted to use this option. The following exit values are returned: non--zero An error occurred. /etc/security/device_allocate /etc/security/device_maps /etc/security/dev/* /etc/security/lib/* See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWcsu | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ deallocate(1), list_devices(1), bsmconv(1M), dminfo(1M), mkdevalloc(1M), mkdevmaps(1M), device_allocate(4), device_maps(4), attributes(5) The functionality described in this man page is available only if the Basic Security Module (BSM) has been enabled.
