devnm(1M)                                               devnm(1M)



NAME
     devnm - displays the current device name

SYNOPSIS
     devnm [mountpoint]

ARGUMENTS
     mountpoint
          Specifies the full pathname of a directory that is
          being used as a mount point, or any file or directory
          within a mounted file system.

DESCRIPTION
     devnm displays the device file that has been associated with
     mountpoint, which must be a full pathname.  When the value
     of mountpoint is / and when swap space was created in the
     same partition as the root file system, devnm displays both
     the root device file and the swap device file.

     The /etc/rc command (see brc(1M)) uses this command to
     construct a mount-table entry for the root disk device.

EXAMPLES
     If /dev/dsk/c102d0s2 is mounted on /usr and then the command
     you enter is

        /etc/devnm /usr

     the information displayed is

        /dev/dsk/c102d0s2 /usr


FILES
     /dev/dsk/*
          Directory containing disk device files
     /etc/devnm
          Executable file
