WTINIT(ADM)


     WTINIT(ADM)                        UNIX System V



     Name
          wtinit - object downloader for the 5620 DMD terminal


     Syntax
          /usr/lib/layersys/wtinit [-d] [-p] file


     Description
          The wtinit utility downloads the named file for execution in
          the   AT&T  TELETYPE 5620  DMD  terminal  connected  to  its
          standard output.  file must be a DMD  object  file.   wtinit
          performs all necessary bootstrap and protocol procedures.

          There are two options:

          -d   Prints out  the  sizes  of  the  text,  data,  and  bss
               portions of the downloaded file on standard error.

          -p   Prints the downloading protocol statistics and a  trace
               on standard error.

          The environment variable JPATH is the analog of the  shell's
          PATH  variable  to  define  a set of directories in which to
          search for file.

          If the environment  variable  DMDLOAD  has  the  value  hex,
          wtinit  will  use  a hexadecimal download protocol that uses
          only printable characters.

          Terminal Feature Packages  for  specific  versions  of  AT&T
          windowing  terminals will include terminal-specific versions
          of  wtinit   under   those   installation   sub-directories.
          /usr/lib/layersys/wtinit     is     used    for    layers(C)
          initialization only when no Terminal Feature Package  is  in
          use.


     Diagnostics
          Returns 0 upon successful completion, 1 otherwise.


     Notes
          Standard error should be redirected when using the -d or  -p
          options.
