DRVCONFIG(1M)							 DRVCONFIG(1M)

NAME
       drvconfig - apply permission and ownership changes to devices

SYNOPSIS
       drvconfig [-bn] [-a alias_name] [-c class_name]
	    [-i drivername] [-m major_num] [-r root_dir]

DESCRIPTION
       devfsadm(1M) is now the preferred command and should be used instead of
       drvconfig.

       The default operation of drvconfig is to apply permission and ownership
       changes to devices. Normally, this command is run automatically after a
       new driver has been installed (with add_drv(1M))	 and  the  system  has
       been rebooted.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       -aalias_name
		       Add  the	 name  alias_name  to the list of aliases that
		       this driver is known by. This option, if used, must  be
		       used  with  the -m major_num, the -b and the -i driver‐
		       name options.

       -b
		       Add a new major number to name binding  into  the  ker‐
		       nel's internal name_to_major tables. This option is not
		       normally used directly, but is used by other  utilities
		       such as add_drv(1M). Use of the -b option requires that
		       -i and -m be used also. No /devices  entries  are  cre‐
		       ated.

       -cclass_name
		       The  driver being added to the system exports the class
		       class_name. This option is not normally used  directly,
		       but  is	used  by other utilities. It is only effective
		       when used with the -b option.

       -idrivername
		       Only configure the devices for the  named  driver.  The
		       following  options  are	used  by the implementation of
		       add_drv(1M) and rem_drv(1M), and may not	 be  supported
		       in future versions of Solaris:

       -mmajor_num
		       Specify	the  major number major_num for this driver to
		       add to the kernel's name_to_major binding tables.

       -n
		       Do not try to load and attach any drivers, or if the -i
		       option  is given, do not try to attach the driver named
		       drivername.

       -rroot_dir
		       Perform operations under root_dir, rather than directly
		       under root.

EXIT STATUS
       0
		   Successful completion.

       non-zero
		   An error occurred.
