NAME

iib − initialize ib driver

SYNOPSIS

iib [ -f ibtabfile ] [ -r ] [ -v ]

DESCRIPTION

Iib initializes and starts the ib driver (see ib(8)). By default it uses information from the file /etc/ibtab.  The -f flag specifies an alternate file of the same format (see ibtab(5L)).  The -v flag causes iib to print each entry as it reads the file. 

Normally iib has no effect if the ib driver is already started.  The -r flag makes it re-initialize and re-start even if the driver was already started.  The -r flag should only be used if the driver gets jammed, and only when no other programs are using the driver.  Only the super-user may use the -r flag.
