netinfo(1M)                                              netinfo(1M)


       NAME
             netinfo - interface to add/list/remove entries in netdrivers
             file

       SYNOPSIS
             /usr/sbin/netinfo [-l dev] [-l proto] [-d device] [-p protocol]
             /usr/sbin/netinfo [-u -l dev] [-u -l proto]
             /usr/sbin/netinfo [-a -d device] [-a -d device -p protocol]
             /usr/sbin/netinfo [-r -d device] [-r -p protocol] [-r -d device -p protocol]

       DESCRIPTION
             The netinfo command gives packages and applications the
             ability to update the /etc/confnet.d/netdrivers file in a
             manner that is independent of the netdrivers file format.

          Files
             /etc/confnet.d/netdrivers

       USAGE
             The netinfo command will only update the netdrivers file.  It
             will not take any action to configure or unconfigure a device
             or protocol.

          Options
             netinfo takes the following options:

             -l dev         List all of the devices in netdrivers.

             -l proto       List all of the protocols currently mapped to
                            devices in netdrivers.

             -u -l dev      List all of the devices that are not mapped to
                            any protocol in netdrivers.  If no information
                            is returned, all the device(s) in the machine
                            are mapped to an installed protocol.

             -u -l proto    List all protocols that are not mapped to any
                            device(s) in netdrivers.  If no information is
                            returned, all of the installed protocols are
                            mapped to device(s) that are installed in the
                            machine.

             -d device      List the protocols currently configured for the
                            specified device.

      netinfo(1M)                                              netinfo(1M)


            -p protocol    List the devices currently configured for the
                           specified protocol.

            -a -d device   Add an entry for device to the netdrivers file.

            -a -d device -p protocol
                           Add an entry in the netdrivers file indicating
                           a mapping between device and protocol.

            -r -d device   Remove all entries for the specified device
                           from the netdrivers file.  This option would be
                           used if you were removing the device from the
                           machine.

            -r -p protocol Remove all entries for the specified protocol
                           from the netdrivers file.

            -r -d device -p protocol
                           Remove the entry mapping for the specified
                           device to protocol from the netdrivers file.
