CSCTL(8) BSD System Manager's Manual CSCTL(8)NAMEcsctl - PC Card control daemon
SYNOPSIScsctl [-acdlqr] [conf_file]
DESCRIPTION
The csctl command is used to control the PC Card device driver. It in-
stalls card configuration parameters into kernel and also can act as a
daemon that handles card events as they occur. The actions csctl takes
when in daemon mode are also described in the card configuration file.
See pccard.conf(5) for details.
The following options are available:
-a Append information from configuration file into kernel.
-c Check the syntax of configuration file.
-d Run as a daemon and handle PC card events. Note that if there
are no event descriptions in the configuration file, csctl exits.
-l Load information from the configuration file into kernel, over-
writing the existing configuration. This is equivalent to using
-ra.
-r Reset the kernel configuration to the state it had at boot time.
-q Be quiet when the device is not configured.
When no options are given, csctl displays current kernel PC card configu-
ration.
FILES
By default, csctl reads configuration file /etc/pccard.conf.
EXAMPLES
Usually, csctl invoked from the run command file /etc/rc.hardware/1.cs.0.
For example:
csctl-ld
When csctl is running in daemon mode and receives a SIGHUP, it reloads
the the configuration file. This is equivalent to using killing csctl and
restarting it -ld.
