NAME
     editsa - add/delete entry from software application file

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sbin/editsa -i slot HWNAME SWNAME

     /usr/sbin/editsa -r SWNAME

     /usr/sbin/editsa -l

DESCRIPTION
     The editsa command is used to add, delete or list entries in
     the  software  application file, /dgn/.edtswapp. It is pri-
     marily used in application installation  scripts  to  modify
     the  software  application file. This file allows a software
     driver, SWNAME, to be associated with a specific board in  a
     specific   AT&T  3B2  Computer  expansion  slot.   The  file
     /dgn/.edtswapp is a data base which is read by the firmware
     program  filledt  to  update  the  name field for designated
     Equipped Device Table (EDT) entries.  editsa performs  vari-
     ous checks to ensure the request will result in a valid sys-
     tem configuration.

     The valid uses of editsa are as shown  above  and  an  error
     will  be  returned  if not properly entered.  The option and
     argument definitions are as follows:

     -i         Specifies that the corresponding entry should  be
                added to the software application file.

     slot       The slot entry in the EDT for  which  the  board,
                HWNAME,  is to be replaced by the argument speci-
                fied as SWNAME.

     HWNAME     The name of the hardware device (e.g. PORTS, ISC,
                NI) for which the EDT entry is being renamed.

     SWNAME     The name of the driver which is being dynamically
                assigned  to  a  hardware  device or removed as a
                valid entry in the software application file.

     -r         All entries which match the SWNAME  specified  in
                the   command  line  will  be  removed  from  the
                software application file.

     -l         Prints a formatted display of the software appli-
                cation file.

DIAGNOSTICS

     1  with the exception of a warning message for the case when
