DESCRIPTION
The auto_adm command is used to manipulate LIF autoconfiguration files.
auto_adm manages files in two different formats, auto_conf (CONF) and Initial System
Loader (ISL) format. See auto_adm(4) for a description of these formats. auto_adm may
read and write either format, and convert between formats. auto_adm defaults to PA architecture
unless IA is specified with -p platform.
record_modifier consists of at least one (and optionally any combination) of -l label, -c command, -b
device, and/or -i image.
Options
auto_adm recognizes the following options:
-p platform
Specifies the hardware platform of either IA or PA. If the platform is IA, no LIF volume
manipulations will apply. If omitted, platform is assumed to be PA.
-f infile
Specifies the input file name. If file name is a LIF volume, an ISL-formatted file entitled
AUTO is read from that volume. If -f is omitted, data is read from standard input.
auto_adm uses the following rules to determine the input format:
• If file name is a LIF volume, or the file begins with the characters hpux, the input
format is assumed to be in ISL format.
• Otherwise it is assumed to be in CONF format.
-o outfile
Specifies the output file name. If outfile is a LIF volume, a file entitled AUTO is written
to that volume. If omitted, data is written to stdout.
-O output_format
Specifies the format of outfile, either CONF or ISL. The default is CONF. If the file
specified by -o is a LIF volume, the output format must not be CONF.
