 wtinit(ADM)                     19 June 1992                     wtinit(ADM)


 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.  The 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 down-
        loaded 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 termi-
    nals will include terminal-specific versions of wtinit under those in-
    stallation 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.
