Configuration information for SVR5 MDI drivers and associated devices is provided in an enhanced bcfg(DSP/4dsp) file for the driver.
The bcfg file contains all configuration information for network drivers into a single file. It is based on the bcfg file used in SCO SVR5 2.X. It is versioned, with version 0 being the SCO SVR5 2.X bcfg files to provide backward compatibility for Open Datalink Interface (ODI) and DLPI drivers on early version of SVR5.
The version 1 bcfg file format is the native format for SVR5 MDI drivers. It is a collection of shell variables that incorporate most of the information that is in SCO OpenServer 5 Adapter Options Files (AOFs).
All configuration information for the driver and supported devices should be provided through the bcfg files rather than through the driver's Space.c(DSP/4dsp) or space.h header file.
Most SVR5 MDI drivers use the Space.c(DSP/4dsp) file only to declare the MODNAME parameter. However, if an MDI driver has parameters that should not be exposed to users, such as inter-frame gap or debugging parameters, it can use a Space.c file for them.
Use the ndcfg command to display all resource manager parameters and the value(s) for any resource manager key. Use the ndcfg -f bcfg_filecommand to check that the bcfg files are syntactically correct.
