LOAD(1) — USER COMMANDS

NAME

load, loadc − load Application SunOS or Developer’s Toolkit clusters

SYNOPSIS

load [ filename ...]

loadc [ cluster ... ]

loadc appl

loadc devel

AVAILABILITY

Sun386i systems only.

DESCRIPTION

load loads the optional clusters in the Application SunOS or the Developer’s Toolkit that contain the files specified in the filename arguments. loadc loads the optional clusters in the Application SunOS or the Developers Toolkit specified in the cluster arguments. Specify the special cluster name appl with loadc to load all the Application SunOS clusters. Likewise, specify devel to loadc to load all the Developer’s Toolkit clusters.

load and loadc require the user to specify the distribution medium, either 3.5-inch diskette or quarter-inch tape, and insert the diskette or tape. The user will be asked to confirm that the specified medium has been inserted. If the user confirmation is negative, no software will be loaded.

Without arguments, load and loadc display a summary of the clusters in the Application SunOS and Developer’s Toolkit, including the load state and size of each cluster.

EXAMPLES

To load the cluster that contains the spell(1) command:

example% load spell
Enter your distribution media type (1=1/4" tape, 2=3.5" diskette): 2
Insert diskette n to load the spellcheck cluster, confirm (y/n): y
Loading the spellcheck cluster ...
The spellcheck cluster has been loaded.
space used by clusters: 6021K bytes
total space remaining: 20432K bytes

To load the spellcheck cluster:

example% loadc spellcheck
Enter your distribution media type (1=1/4" tape, 2=3.5" diskette): 2
Insert diskette n to load the spellcheck, confirm (y/n): y
Loading the spellcheck cluster ...
The spellcheck cluster has been loaded.
space used by clusters: 6021K bytes
total space remaining: 20432K bytes

You may need multiple sets of media to load some clusters, for example, a base cluster and an update may be on separate sets of floppy disks.

example% loadc sunview_devel
Loading the clusters you’ve specified requires the following
distribution media:
         Sun386i Developer’s Toolkit version 4.0.1
        Sun386i SunOS 4.0.2beta Upgrade Kit
If all these aren’t all available, you won’t be able to install
everything you’ve specified.
Which type of Sun386i Developer’s Toolkit version 4.0.1 media do you have?
         1) 1/4" cartridge tape
        2) 3.5" diskette
        3) I don’t have the media, sorry
Enter your answer here: 2
Please insert Sun386i Developer’s Toolkit version 4.0.1 diskette 5.
Enter ’yes’ to continue, or ’no’ if you can’t find the diskette: y
Loading the Sun386i Developer’s Toolkit 4.0.1 ’sunview_devel’ cluster ...
Which type of Sun386i Upgrade Kit version 4.0.2beta media do you have?
         1) 1/4" cartridge tape
        2) 3.5" diskette
        3) I don’t have the media, sorry
Enter your answer here: 2
Please insert Sun386i Upgrade Kit version 4.0.2beta diskette 7.
Enter ’yes’ to continue, or ’no’ if you can’t find the diskette: y
Upgrading the Sun386i Upgrade Kit 4.0.2beta ’sunview_devel’ cluster ...

To display a summary of the clusters in the Application SunOS and Developer’s Toolkit:

example% load
Application SunOS Optional Clusters:
    loadedclustersize (bytes)
    -----------------
      yesaccounting265K
      noadvanced_admin501K
      ...
Developer’s Toolkit Optional Clusters:

      nobase_devel6907K
      ...

A cluster is “loaded” if it has been loaded using load or loadc or if it has been mounted across the network.

FILES

/usr/cluster/appl where Application SunOS clusters are loaded (or mounted)

/usr/cluster/devel where Developer’s Toolkit clusters are loaded (or mounted)

/usr/lib/load/∗ data files

/usr/lib/load/base_VERSION
version information for the base release

/usr/VERSION version information for the current (possibly upgraded) release

DIAGNOSTICS

Wrong diskette/tape
An incorrect diskette or tape was inserted. The user will again be asked to insert the specified medium.

The file filename is not in any of the optional software

clusters.
The specified file is not part of the Application SunOS or Developer’s Toolkit.

There is no cluster cluster.
The specified cluster is not part of the Application SunOS or Developers Toolkit.

The cluster cluster is already loaded, overwrite? (y/n):
The specified cluster appears to have been loaded already. Type y followed by RETURN to have the cluster loaded or n followed by RETURN to cancel the loading of the cluster.

Cluster cluster requires nK; there is not enough disk space.
There is not enough disk space to hold the specified cluster.

The cluster cluster has not been loaded.
The loading of the specified cluster has been canceled or interrupted by the user.

The Application SunOS (and/or) Developers Toolkit are mounted.
The Application SunOS or Developers Toolkit or both are mounted across the network and can not be loaded or unloaded.

The tape/diskette drive is currently in use.
You are trying to load a cluster from tape (or diskette) and another process currently has control of the tape (or diskette) drive.
