NAME

       kmknod - Creates device special files for static kernel layered products

SYNOPSIS

       /sbin/kmknod

DESCRIPTION

       The kmknod command obtains information from a running kernel and determines if any device special files must be created for use by the ker-
       nel layered products that are statically configured.

       To enable kmknod to create device special files, the statically configured kernel layered products must have been registered with the  kreg
       command.

									  Note

       To  create  device special files for the kernel layered products that are loadable modules, such as loadable device drivers, use the cfgmgr
       command instead of the kmknod command.

       The kmknod command first deletes any files that have matching names and any files that have both matching major numbers and matching device
       types (block or character).  After any matching files are deleted, the kmknod command creates all the required device special files.

       The /etc/inittab file contains instructions to invoke the kmknod command at boot time.

       You must be superuser to invoke the kmknod command.

FILES

       Provides the init program with instructions for creating and running initialization processes.

NAME

       strsetup - STREAMS setup and information command

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/strsetup [-cdfi]

OPTIONS

       Lists  the  current  kernel  configuration of STREAMS modules and devices. Any user can run the strsetup -c command.  Deletes all character
       special files listed in the configuration file that do not map to currently configured STREAMS drivers.	Specifies a file that contains the
       specifications  to  build  third  party or installation-specific character files for STREAMS-based drivers.  It uses the same specification
       format as the strsetup.conf file.  Creates the STREAMS-based special files appropriate for  your  kernel  configuration.   By  default  the
       strsetup  command uses the information in the /etc/strsetup.conf file to build the STREAMS-based special files with the correct names, file
       permissions, and minor numbers.	If the strsetup.conf file does not exist, the strsetup command defaults to creating clone  character  spe-
       cial files.

	      The strsetup -i command is run automatically at boot time.

DESCRIPTION

       The  strsetup  command displays the setup of your STREAMS modules and creates the appropriate character special files for the STREAMS-based
       drivers in your kernel configuration.

FILES

       Default directory in which the -i option creates the pseudodevices
