NAME
getdev - lists devices based on criteria SYNOPSIS
getdev [-ae] [criteria]... [device]... DESCRIPTION
getdev generates a list of devices that match certain criteria. The criteria includes a list of attributes (given in expressions) and a list of devices. If no criteria are given, all devices are included in the list. Devices must satisfy at least one of the criteria in the list unless the -a option is used. Then, only those devices which match all of the criteria in a list will be included. Devices which are defined on the command line and which match the criteria are included in the generated list. However, if the -e option is used, the list becomes a set of devices to be excluded from the list. See OPTIONS and OPERANDS. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -a Specifies that a device must match all criteria to be included in the list generated by this command. The option has no effect if no criteria are defined. -e Specifies that the list of devices which follows on the command line should be excluded from the list generated by this command. Without the -e the named devices are included in the generated list. The flag has no effect if no devices are defined. OPERANDS
The following operands are supported: criteria Defines the criteria that a device must match to be included in the generated list. criteria is specified by expressions. There are four possible expression types which the criteria specified in the criteria argument may follow: attribute=value Selects all devices whose attribute attribute is defined and is equal to value. attribute!=value Selects all devices whose attribute attribute is defined and does not equal value. attribute:* Selects all devices which have the attribute attribute defined. attribute!:* Selects all devices which do not have the attribute attribute defined. See the putdev(1M) manual page for a complete listing and description of available attributes. device Defines the devices which should be included in the generated list. This can be the pathname of the device or the device alias. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Successful completion. 1 Command syntax was incorrect, invalid option was used, or an internal error occurred. 2 Device table could not be opened for reading. FILES
/etc/device.tab ATTRIBUTES

NAME
getdgrp - lists device groups which contain devices that match criteria SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/getdgrp [-ael] [criteria...] [dgroup...] DESCRIPTION
getdgrp generates a list of device groups that contain devices matching the given criteria. The criteria is given in the form of expres- sions. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -a Specifies that a device must match all criteria to be included in the list generated by this command. The option has no effect if no criteria are defined. -e Specifies that the list of device groups on the command line should be excluded from the list generated by this command. Without the -e option the named device groups are included in the generated list. The flag has no effect if no devices are defined. -l Specifies that all device groups (subject to the -e option and the dgroup list) should be listed even if they contain no valid device members. This option has no affect if criteria is specified on the command line. OPERANDS
The following operands are supported: criteria Defines criteria that a device must match before a device group to which it belongs can be included in the generated list. Specify criteria as an expression or a list of expressions which a device must meet for its group to be included in the list generated by getdgrp. If no criteria are given, all device groups are included in the list. Devices must satisfy at least one of the criteria in the list. However, the -a option can be used to define that a "logi- cal and" operation should be performed. Then, only those groups containing devices which match all of the criteria in a list will be included. There are four possible expressions types which the criteria specified in the criteria argument may follow: attribute=value Selects all device groups with a member whose attribute attribute is defined and is equal to value. attribute!=value Selects all device groups with a member whose attribute attribute is defined and does not equal value. attribute:* Selects all device groups with a member which has the attribute attribute defined. attribute!:* Selects all device groups with a member which does not have the attribute attribute defined. See putdev(1M) for a complete listing and description of available attributes. dgroup Defines a set of device groups which should be included in or excluded from the generated list. Device groups that are defined and which contain devices matching the criteria are included. If the -e option is used, this list defines a set of device groups to be excluded. When the -e option is used and crite- ria is also defined, the generated list will include device groups containing devices which match the criteria and are not in the command line list. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Successful completion of the task. 1 Command syntax was incorrect, invalid option was used, or an internal error occurred. 2 Device table or device group table could not be opened for reading. FILES
