Description

dminfo reports and updates information about the device_maps(4) file.

Options

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(4) 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(4) 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(4) 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(4) file. This option is provided to add entries to the device_maps(4) file. The dm-entry must be a complete device_maps(4) 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.

Exit Status

Successful completion.
