CRTY (CREATE_TYPE) -- Create a new type.
usage:  CRTY type_name [-N node_spec] [-L] [-U high.low] [-BIN pathname] {CL}


FORMAT

  CRTY type_name [options]


  The  CRTY  command  creates  new  types.  It creates an identifier for the new
  type, and associates it with the supplied type name.  New types  are  used  to
  identify a new kind of manager for Streams.


ARGUMENTS

  type_name
  (required)         Specify the name to assign to the created type.


OPTIONS

  -N node_spec        Specify the node on which the type is to be created.   See
                     HELP NODE_SPEC for details about node specification syntax.
                     You  may  also  specify  the  entry  directory  of a volume
                     mounted for software installation, as shown in the  example
                     below.    If this option is omitted, the type is created on
                     the current node.

  -L                 List the type name/type identifier pair that is created.

  -U high.low        Create the type with the specified unique identifier (UID).
                     Give  the  high and low addresses for the UID as indicated.
                     Use this option only for system debugging purposes.  Misuse
                     of this option may cause programs to behave incorrectly.

  -B[INARY] pathname
                     Create the type from the specified object module (which was
                     created  by CRTYOBJ).  This allows you to add a new type to
                     a system from an object module  which  can  be  shipped  on
                     media like floppies, magnetic tapes, etc.


EXAMPLES

  1.  $ crty example_type -l
      "example_type" 24BF9F41.100001FB created.

  2.  $ crty example_type -n //test_vol -l
      "example_type" 24BFA6F8.200001FB created on volume //test_vol.

  In the following example, the disk has been mounted for software installation.
  The disk's top level directory (catalogued as  '/mounted_disk'  by  the  MTVOL
  command)  must contain a "sys" directory. If it does not, you will get a "type
  manager directory not found" error.

  3.  $ mtvol w /mounted_disk
      $ crty example_type -n /mounted_disk -l
      "example_type" 24BFB71E.200001FB created on volume //my_node/mounted_disk.
