idmknodd(1M)


idmknodd -- daemon to update device nodes to reflect kernel configuration

Synopsis

/etc/conf/bin/idmknodd [-o device-dir] [-r config-dir ] [-#]

Description

The idmknodd daemon is introduced in UnixWare 7 to update the special device files under the /dev directory. For drivers written for DDI version 8 and later, device files are created and removed dynamically as needed, to support the hotplug functionality.

Options


-o device-dir
Install nodes in (or remove them from) the directory specified rather than the default, /dev.

-r config-dir
Use the directory specified, instead of /etc/conf, as the root of the configuration data directories.

-#
Print debugging information.
