Interpreting Saved Configuration Information
Referring to the examples above, each saved configuration has a name.
The names must start with a letter; contain only letters, digits, and
underscores; and be at most 32 characters long. Except for the backup
configuration, you choose the name for each saved configuration when
you create it, and you can rename it at will.
Each saved configuration can also have a title. The title can be used to
provide yourself with a longer description of the configuration’s purpose
or settings. It is optional.
Each saved configuration also has a pair of timestamps. The “Save Time”
indicates when the configuration was last saved (kconfig –s). The
“Modify Time” indicates when the configuration was last changed.
Associated with each saved configuration is a complete set of module
state settings, tunable value settings, and device bindings. These can be
seen by using
# kcmodule –c configname
and
# kctune –c configname
or by using
# kconfig –a configname
(Device bindings are visible only by looking at the system file for the
saved configuration, located in /stand/configname/system.)
