       NAME
             idresadd - update Resource Manager database

       SYNOPSIS
             idresadd [-r confdir] [-d] [-f] [-n] module_name

       DESCRIPTION
             The idresadd command reads the System file for the named
             driver in /etc/conf/sdevice.d.  That is, it reads the file
             specified by module_name, and attempts to create an entry in
             the Resource Manager database for every active entry in the
             System file.  (Active entries are those with a Y in the
             configured field.)

             The idresadd command first attempts to match the hardware
             device being added with an existing entry in the Resource
             Manager.  To match, the Resource Manager entry must have no
             MODNAME set, or a MODNAME that matches the name of the driver
             being added.  Also, the driver must have at least one of its
             hardware parameters (one of IRQ, DMACHAN, IOADDR, or MEMADDR)
             set, and the parameter(s) must match in the Resource Manager
             entry and the System file entry.

             If no matching entry is found in the Resource Manager, a new
             entry is added to the file.  No entry is added to the Resource
             Manager if any entry already exists for a driver unless the -f
             option is present to force the addition of the entry.

             New entries in the Resource Manager database are tagged with
             CM_ENTRY_DEFAULT, unless -n is given.  When -n is given, other
             entries that match the driver's MODNAME and are tagged with
             CM_ENTRY_DEFAULT are removed.

          Options:
             -d      Delete entries from resmgr instead of adding them.

             -f      Force the addition of an entry for a driver already in
                     the Resource Manager.

             -n      New non-default entry.

             -r confdir
                     Specify an alternate to the /etc/conf directory.
