DEVNM(1M) — Silicon Graphics

NAME

devnm − device name

SYNOPSIS

/etc/devnm [names]

DESCRIPTION

Devnm identifies the special file associated with the mounted file system where the argument name resides (as a special case, both the block device name and the swap device name is printed for the argument name / if swapping is done on the same disk section as the root file system). Argument names must be full path names.

This command is most commonly used by /etc/rc (see brc(1M)) to construct a mount table entry for the root device.

EXAMPLE

/etc/devnm /usr

produces

rp1 /usr

if /usr is mounted on /dev/rp1.

FILES

/dev/rp∗, /dev/dsk∗
