NAME

iib − initialize ib driver

SYNOPSIS

iib [ −f ibtabfile ] [ −r ] [ −v ]

DESCRIPTION

iib initializes and starts the ib driver (see ib(7)). By default it uses information from the file /etc/ibtab.  The −f flag specifies an alternate file of the same format (see ibtab(4). 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.
