DMINFO(8) Maintenance Commands and Procedures DMINFO(8)
dminfo - report information about a device entry in a device maps
file
dminfo [-v] [-a] [-f pathname]
dminfo [-v] [-a] [-f pathname] -n dev -name...
dminfo [-v] [-a] [-f pathname] -d dev -path...
dminfo [-v] [-a] [-f pathname] -t dev -type...
dminfo [-v] [-f pathname] -u dm -entry
dminfo reports and updates information about the device_maps(5) file.
The following options are supported
-a
Succeed if any of the requested entries are found.
If used with -v, all entries that match the
requested case(s) are printed.
-d dev-path
Search by dev-path. Search device_maps(5) for a
device special pathname in the device_list field
matching the dev-path argument. This option cannot
be used with -n, -t or -u.
-f pathname
Use a device_maps file with pathname instead of
/etc/security/device_maps.
-n dev-name
Search by dev-name. Search device_maps(5) for a
device_name field matching dev-name. This option
cannot be used with -d, -t or -u.
-t dev-type
Search by dev-type. Search device_maps(5) for a
device_type field matching the given dev-type. This
option cannot be used with -d, -n or -u.
-u dm-entry
Update the device_maps(5) file. This option is
provided to add entries to the device_maps(5) file.
The dm-entry must be a complete device_maps(5) file
entry. The dm-entry has fields, as in the
device_maps file. It uses the colon (:) as a field
separator, and white space as the device_list
subfield separators. The dm-entry is not made if
any fields are missing, or if the dm-entry would be
a duplicate. The default device maps file can be
updated only by the super user.
-v
Verbose. Print the requested entry or entries, one
line per entry, on the standard output. If no
entries are specified, all are printed.
0
Successful completion.
1
Request failed.
2
Incorrect syntax.
