19 \fBadd_allocatable\fR creates new entries for user allocatable devices that are
20 to be managed by the device allocation mechanism. \fBadd_allocatable\fR can
21 also be used to update existing entries of such devices.
24 \fBadd_allocatable\fR can also create and update entries for non-allocatable
25 devices, such as printers, whose label range is managed by the device
29 \fBadd_allocatable\fR can be used in shell scripts, such as installation
30 scripts for driver packages, to automate the administrative work of setting up
34 Use \fBlist_devices\fR(1) to see the names and types of allocatable devices,
35 their attributes, and device paths.
43 Force an update of an already-existing entry with the specified information.
44 \fBadd_allocatable\fR exits with an error if this option is not specified when
45 an entry with the specified device name already exists.
54 Turn on silent mode. \fBadd_allocatable\fR does not print any error or warning
64 If this option is present, \fBadd_allocatable\fR updates the system-supplied
65 default attributes of the device type specified with \fB-t\fR.
71 \fB\fB-n\fR \fIname\fR\fR
74 Adds or updates an entry for device that is specified by \fIname\fR.
80 \fB\fB-t\fR \fItype\fR\fR
83 Adds or updates device entries that are of a type that are specified by
90 \fB\fB-l\fR \fIdevice-list\fR\fR
93 Adds or updates device paths to the device that is specified with \fB-n\fR.
94 Multiple paths in \fIdevice-list\fR must be separated by white spaces and the
101 \fB\fB-a\fR \fIauthorization\fR\fR
104 Adds or updates the authorization that is associated with either the device
105 that is specified with \fB-n\fR or with devices of the type that is specified
106 with \fB-t\fR. When more than one authorization is specified, the list must be
107 separated by commas and must be quoted. When the device is not allocatable,
108 \fIauthorization\fR is specified with an asterisk (*) and must be quoted. When
109 the device is allocatable by any user, \fIauthorization\fR is specified with
110 the at sign (@) and must be quoted. Default authorization is '@'.
116 \fB\fB-c\fR \fIclean\fR\fR
119 Specifies the \fBdevice_clean\fR(5) program \fIclean\fR to be used with the
120 device that is specified with \fB-n\fR or with devices of the type that is
121 specified with \fB-t\fR. The default clean program is \fB/bin/true\fR.
127 \fB\fB-o\fR \fIkey\fR=\fIvalue\fR\fR
130 Accepts a string of colon-separated \fB\fIkey\fR=\fIvalue\fR\fR pairs for a
131 device that is specified with \fB-n\fR or with devices of the type that is
132 specified with \fB-t\fR. The following keys are currently interpreted by the
140 The minimum label at which the device can be used.
149 The maximum label at which the device can be used.
158 Specifies a logical grouping of devices. For example, all Sun
159 Ray\u\s-2TM\s+2\d devices of all device types is a logical grouping. The
160 \fBclass\fR keyword has no default value.
169 Specifies the display name of the X session. This keyword is used to identify
170 devices that are associated with the X session. The \fBxdpy\fR keyword has no
179 When successful, \fBadd_allocate\fR returns an exit status of \fB0\fR (true).
180 \fBadd_allocate\fR returns a nonzero exit status in the event of an error. The
181 exit codes are as follows:
188 Invocation syntax error
206 An entry already exists for the specified device. This error occurs only when
207 the \fB-f\fR option is not specified.
216 Permission denied. User does not have DAC or MAC access record updates.
222 See \fBattributes\fR(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
230 ATTRIBUTE TYPE ATTRIBUTE VALUE
232 Interface Stability See below.
237 The invocation is Uncommitted. The options are Uncommitted. The output is
242 \fBallocate\fR(1), \fBdeallocate\fR(1), \fBlist_devices\fR(1),
243 \fBremove_allocatable\fR(1M), \fBattributes\fR(5), \fBdevice_clean\fR(5)
247 The functionality described on this manual page is available only if the system
248 is configured with Trusted Extensions.
