WTINIT(1M)  —  

NAME

wtinit − object downloader for the 5620 DMD terminal

SYNOPSIS

/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.  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 downloaded 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 terminals will include terminal-specific versions of wtinit under those installation sub-directories.  /usr/lib/layersys/wtinit is used for layers(1) initialization only when no Terminal Feature Package is in use. 

EXIT STATUS

Returns 0 upon successful completion, 1 otherwise. 

WARNING

Standard error should be redirected when using the −d or −p options.
