tcload(1m)                 DG/UX 4.30                  tcload(1m)



     NAME
          tcload - load terminal controller devices

     SYNOPSIS
          /usr/sbin/tcload [-v] ttyfile [...] or
          /usr/sbin/tcload [-v] -a

     DESCRIPTION
          The tcload command makes asynchronous terminals
          (/dev/tty[0-9]* nodes) available for use by initializing and
          enabling the desired terminal controller devices in the
          appropriate way.  For instance, for a syac device, tcload
          resets the board, downloads its resident controller code,
          and starts it executing.

          The controllers to be loaded are specified by the ttyfile
          arguments.  A controller will be loaded at most once, even
          if multiple tty nodes associated with the controller are
          given as command line arguments.

          The following options are available:

          -v              Print verbose output about the loading
                          process.

          -a              Locate and load all terminal controllers
                          configured into the system; this is
                          equivalent to running the command:

                                  /usr/sbin/tcload /dev/tty[0-9]*

     EXAMPLE
          /usr/sbin/tcload -v /dev/tty00 /dev/tty16
