dkindex(8)                                                       dkindex(8)

NAME
     dkindex - display/set disk index structures

SYNOPSIS
     dkindex -l special                                            Format 1

     dkindex [-w] -a c:h:s -c cyl special                          Format 2

DESCRIPTION
     Format 1 displays the data structure location index for disk special.
     The data structure location index is part of the PSDF (Pyramid Stan-
     dard Disk Format) specification.

     Format 2 sets the data structure location index for disk special. The
     following options are possible:

     -a c:h:s  Specifies the location of the Format Information Table
               (FIT).

               c  Specifies the cylinder.

               h  Specifies the head.

               s  Specifies the sector.

     -c cyl    Specifies the segment for disk-specific data such as the
               partition table.

     -w        Do not write index to disk (for drives with removable
               media).

     special   The raw disk device to read from or write to.

     Format 2 is generally only called from dksetup.

     Each disk driver has a convention for locating the index structure on
     a particular disk. The index structure specifies where all of the
     other configuration data structures can be found.
