NAME
       dtab - automatic system configuration device table (2BSD)

DESCRIPTION
       The dtab file contains a list of the devices that the autoconfig(8) program will attempt to attach to the system.

       Each  line describes one device which may be present on the system; additional devices of the same type require additional lines.  The line
       contains at least six fields separated by white space.  Blank lines and comments can appear anywhere in the  file  except  between  fields;
       comments are delimited by `#' and new line.  The fields are (in order):

       dev	   The device name, usually two characters

       unit	   Either a unit number or a `?' indicating automatic selection of unit numbers.

       addr	   The address of the device's first register, as a 16-bit octal number.

       vector	   The interrupt vector, in octal.

       BR	   The priority at which the device interrupts.

       handler(s)  One or more routine names with which the interrupt vector is filled.
