drvconfig(1M)		System Administration Commands		 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.

FILES
       /devices		       Device nodes directory

       /etc/minor_perm	       Minor mode permissions

       /etc/name_to_major      Major number binding

       /etc/driver_classes     Driver class binding file
