NAME

cm getdevok − Shows whether device files from specified filesets are honored by the Cache Manager

SYNOPSIS

cm getdevok [-path {filename | directory_name}...] [-help]

OPTIONS

Names a file or directory from each fileset whose device file status information is to be displayed. If this option is omitted, status information is displayed for the fileset containing the current working directory.  Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options specified with this option are ignored. 

DESCRIPTION

The cm getdevok command reports whether the Cache Manager honors device files that reside in the indicated filesets. Indicate each fileset for which you want device file status information by specifying the name of a file or directory in the fileset with the -path option. This information comes from the kernel of the workstation on which the command is issued. 

System administrators set whether device files are to be honored on a per-fileset and per-Cache Manager basis with the cm setdevok command.  By default, the Cache Manager does not honor device files from a fileset. (The UNIX kernel always honors device files stored in the /dev directory.) 

Privilege Required

No privileges are required. 

OUTPUT

The cm getdevok command first displays the line Fileset pathname status:

In the output, pathname is the name of a file or directory specified with the -path option. For each specified file or directory, the following output values are possible for the fileset on which it resides: Indicates that device files from the fileset are honored.  Indicates that device files from the fileset are not honored.  Indicates that the specified pathname is invalid. 

EXAMPLES

The following command indicates that device files from the fileset that contains the directory /.../abc.com/fs/usr/jlw are not honored by the Cache Manager: $ cm getdevok /.../abc.com/fs/usr/jlw /.../abc.com/fs/user/jlw status: device files not allowed
