NAME

pilconf − SICL kernel configuration program. 

SYNOPSIS

pilconf [-cdkbvze] [arg...]

DESCRIPTION

Pilconf, may only be run by the super-user.  It performs a variety of operations needed to build a kernel which includes SICL device drivers.  These include the archiving of object modules into the kernel libraries in /etc/conf, running the eisa_config utility, and the building and installation of the new kernel.  Pilconf, uses the configuration file, /usr/pil/etc/hwconfig.cf to determine the number and type of supported interfaces available to the system, as well as certain operating parameters for the interface. 

The parameter definitions follow. 

c <hwconf>
The hwconf parameter contains the name of the hardware configuration file. The default is: /usr/pil/etc/hwconfig.cf. 

d <dfile>
The dfile parameter contains the name of the dfile used for building a kernel. The default is: /etc/conf/dfile. 

k <kernel>
The kernel parameter contains the name of the kernel to install. The default is: /hp-ux. 

b <backup>
The backup parameter contains the name of the file in which to store the current kernel. The default is: /SYSPILBCKUP. 

v Print a verbose output of the program’s actions. 

z Enter non-interactive mode (assume default answers");

e Run eisa_config only.  This option is to be avoided unless the users is instructed to use it by a previous run of this program.
