       NAME
             devnm - device name

       SYNOPSIS
             /usr/sbin/devnm [name . . .]

       DESCRIPTION
             The devnm command identifies the special file associated with
             the mounted file system where the argument name resides.  One
             or more names can be specified.

          Files
             /dev/dsk/*
             /dev/rdsk/*
             /etc/devnm.path
             /etc/mnttab
             /usr/lib/locale/locale/LC_MESSAGES/uxcore.abi
                   language-specific message file [See LANG on environ(5)]

       USAGE
             The devnm command is most commonly used by the brc command to
             construct a mount table entry for the root device.  devnm uses
             the file /etc/devnm.path to determine the device search path.
             The default entries in this file are /dev/dsk and /dev/rdsk.

          Examples
             The command:
                   /usr/sbin/devnm /usr
             produces:
                   /dev/dsk/c0b0t0d0s3 /usr
             if /usr is mounted on /dev/dsk/c0b0t0d0s3.
