MAJORSINUSE(ADM)                     UNIX System V



     Name
          majorsinuse - displays the  list  of  major  device  numbers
          currently specified in the mdevice file


     Syntax
          /etc/conf/cf.d/majorsinuse


     Description
          This script searches the mdevice file and displays a list of
          the major device numbers already in use.

          When installing a device driver with the Link Kit,  you  can
          use majorsinuse to find an available major device number for
          the driver.  When you invoke the configure program to modify
          the   system   configuration   files  with  the  new  driver
          information, use the -m option to indicate the major  device
          number of the driver.

          The -j option to configure performs a  function  similar  to
          that  of  majorsinuse.   If  you give the -j option with the
          NEXTMAJOR keyword, configure tells you  the  next  available
          major device number.
