ASSIGN.CLASSES(5)       COMMAND REFERENCE       ASSIGN.CLASSES(5)



NAME
     assign.classes - defined classes of devices for assignment

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/assign.classes

DESCRIPTION
     This file defines the grouping of devices for assignment by
     the assign(1) command.  Devices are grouped into classes in
     order that all devices corresponding to an actual physical
     device, for example, raw and cooked versions, are assigned
     as a unit.  Assignment changes the ownership of the devices.

     Each line defines one class and is of the form:

          class ... = device ...

     where classes are site defined names that correspond to the
     grouping of devices on the line, and devices are full path
     names, usually of devices in /dev.  The equal sign separates
     class names from device names.  All names are separated by
     spaces or tabs.  Class names that are listed in more than
     one line are termed generic class names, and will be checked
     by assign in the order listed in this file.

EXAMPLES
     The following defines classes mt3 and mt4, for mag tape
     devices 3 and 4, with a generic class name tape.

          mt3 tape = /dev/rmt03 /dev/nrmt03 /dev/nmt03 /dev/mt03
          mt4 tape = /dev/rmt04 /dev/nrmt04 /dev/nmt04 /dev/mt04
