Description

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

Options

-v
Verbose. Print the requested entry or entries, one line per entry, on the standard output. If no entries are specified, all are printed.
-a
Succeed if any of the requested entries are found. If used with -v, all entries that match the requested case(s) are printed.
-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.
-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.
-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.

Diagnostics
