          WTINIT(1M)           INTERACTIVE UNIX System           WTINIT(1M)



          NAME
               wtinit - object downloader for the 5620 DMD terminal

          SYNOPSIS
               /usr/lib/layersys/wtinit [-d] [-p] file

          DESCRIPTION
               The wtinit utility downloads the named file for execution in
               the AT&T TELETYPE 5620 DMD terminal connected to its stan-
               dard output.  file must be a DMD object file.  wtinit per-
               forms all necessary bootstrap and protocol procedures.

               There are two options:

               -d   Prints out the sizes of the text, data, and bss por-
                    tions of the downloaded file on standard error.

               -p   Prints the downloading protocol statistics and a trace
                    on standard error.

               The environment variable JPATH is the analog of the shell's
               PATH variable to define a set of directories in which to
               search for file.

               If the environment variable DMDLOAD has the value hex,
               wtinit will use a hexadecimal download protocol that uses
               only printable characters.

               Terminal Feature Packages for specific versions of AT&T win-
               dowing terminals will include terminal-specific versions of
               wtinit under those installation sub-directories.
               /usr/lib/layersys/wtinit is used for layers(1) initializa-
               tion only when no Terminal Feature Package is in use.

          EXIT STATUS
               Returns 0 upon successful completion, 1 otherwise.

          WARNING
               Standard error should be redirected when using the -d or -p
               options.
