defadm(1M)                                                defadm(1M)


       NAME
             defadm - display/modify default values

       SYNOPSIS
             defadm
             defadm [filename [name[=value]] [name[=value]] [. . .]]
             defadm [-d filename name [name] [. . .]]

       DESCRIPTION
             The defadm command prints, modifies, adds, or deletes system
             and command default values contained in the file given by
             filename; where filename is a file in the /etc/default
             directory.

             If defadm is executed with no arguments, it lists the files in
             the /etc/default directory.

             If defadm is given a filename, it prints all the defaults
             contained in filename.  If one or more names are specified
             together with a filename, then defadm prints the specified
             names together with their values.

             If defadm is given a filename and one or more names and
             values, then the default file is modified so that the name is
             set to the respective value.  If the value is an empty string,
             the name has a null value.  When using defadm to display the
             value of name, if name is not found, a warning message is
             printed and processing continues.

             If defadm is given the -d option, a filename, and one or more
             names, it removes the specified names from the filename.

             /etc/default/*    directory of files containing system or
             command default values
