SETDEVPERMS(1M)                 Printing Tools                 SETDEVPERMS(1M)



NAME
     setdevperms - Update printing device entries in /etc/ioperms

SYNOPSIS
     setdevperms [-D] [-a <line to add>] [-d <line to delete>]

DESCRIPTION
     setdevperms adds or removes entries from the /etc/ioperms file.   If the
     line exists in the file then it is not added.  If the line to delete
     exists more then once in the file then all occurrences are deleted.  When
     deleting a line leading and trailing white space is NOT ignored.  Any
     line to add or delete must start with "/dev" or "#".  There are no other
     syntax checks performed on lines added or removed.  Multiple lines can be
     added and removed at the same time by specifying multiple instances of -a
     or -d.

     -D can be used to turn on debugging.

     If /etc/ioperms does not exist then it is created when a new line is
     added.

     You must be root to run setdevperms.

     Example:

     /usr/lib/print/setdevperms -a "/dev/plp 0644 lp sys"
