auto-dev(1M)  —  ADMINISTRATOR COMMANDS

NAME

/sbin/auto-dev − create, display and compare various system configurations. 

SYNOPSIS

auto-dev [−d delta-config] [−p print-config] [−l]

DESCRIPTION

The default operation of auto-dev analyzes the current hardware configuration and if any changes have occurred then the namers are run to reflect the configuration changes in /dev.  In addition, the current, previous and locked system configuration files or a delta of these files may be displayed with the -p or -d options.  The -p and -d options are mutually exclusive with the -d option taking precedence.  The configuration data includes controller, peripheral and memory region information. 

The print-config argument specifies the configuration file to be displayed.  The choices are current, previous or locked.  The delta-config argument specifies the configuration files to be compared.  The choices are cur_prev, cur_lock or prev_lock. 

When printing, the −l option will cause the long form of the data to be displayed. 

NOTES

In order to create a locked configuration file, /stand/.configlock must be present.
