 aiolkinit(ADM)                  19 June 1992                  aiolkinit(ADM)


 Name

    aiolkinit - set up AIO memory locking permissions

 Syntax

    /etc/aiolkinit [raw-device]

 Description

    The aiolkinit utility allows a system administrator to control which
    users may lock memory for AIO use, and how much can be locked.  This
    utility reads the /usr/lib/aiomemlock file, and sets up an internal ker-
    nel table entry for each line.

    Typically, aiolkinit is not invoked directly, but is called by a script
    in the /etc/rc2.d directory.  Note that this script should be invoked
    before starting up any program that uses AIO.  Invoking aiolkinit after
    boot causes entries that have been added to /usr/lib/aiomemlock to be
    revised. Removing entries does not affect their memory locking ability
    until reboot.

    The aiolkinit program defaults to opening /dev/rroot to call the
    appropriate AIO I/O control command (ioctl). If /dev/rroot does not
    support AIO, an alternate AIO device must be provided as an argument.

 Notes

    This command can be run only by the super user.

 File

    /usr/lib/aiomemlock
