tcload(1M)                       DG/UX R4.11                      tcload(1M)


NAME
       tcload - load terminal controller devices

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

DESCRIPTION
       The tcload command makes asynchronous terminal lines available for
       use by initializing and enabling the desired terminal controller
       devices in the appropriate way.  For example, tcload resets a syac or
       spac device, downloads its resident controller code, starts it
       executing, monitors events on the device, and responds appropriately
       to them.  The controllers to be loaded are specified by the
       controllernode arguments.

       Note that the tcload process does not terminate as in pre-5.4
       revisions of DG/UX. It continues to run and react to events on the
       system's controllers.

       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/async/ctrl/*\)

EXAMPLE
       tcload -v '/dev/async/ctrl/syac(vme(0),1)'

       This example loads the Systech VMEbus asynchronous terminal
       controller that is configured into the system at position 1 on VME
       channel 0.

       tcload -v '/dev/async/ctrl/spac(pci(0),F,0)'

       This example loads the Systech PCI bus asynchronous terminal
       controller that is configured into the system as device F on PCI bus
       channel 0.
