SYNTAX
/etc/config [ -t ] [ -q ] [ -c conf_file ] [ -m
master_file_directory ] system_file
DESCRIPTION
This program generates the conf.c file from files (see master(4)
and system(4)) which describe the hardware devices, software
drivers, and parameters on the system. Most users will simply
specify config with the name of the system file describing their
system (see below). Users with greater kernel experience may
vary the configuration process with the following arguments:
conf_file Identifies the file to be created with the
configuration tables for devices on the system.
master_directory
Identifies the directory with the master files to
be used in configuring the system. The default
directory is /etc/master.d.
system_file Identifies the device description file (see
system(4)). This file describes all the devices
on the system.
Options are:
-t Request a short table of major device numbers for character
and block type devices, keywords, protocols, aliases, and
streams. This can facilitate the creation of special files.
-q Do not complain about errors.
-c Specify the name of the configuration file; conf.c is the
default.
-m Specify the name of the directory containing the master
files; /etc/master.d is the default. This directory is
supplied with the DG/UX System. Do not modify its contents
unless you fully understand its construction.
The construction of the master files and the system file is
described under master(4) and system(4) in the Programmer's

explanatory.
BUGS
The -t option does not know about devices that have aliases.
