option from the cmgr command and performs one of the following tasks for the

compartment identified by the compartment attribute:

DescriptionOperation

Searches the /etc/cmpt directory for a file containing a definition for the

compartment. If the file is not found, a new /etc/cmpt/compartment.rules

is created and a compartment definition for the compartment is added. The contents

of the concatenated data child elements are then added to the top of the

compartment definition.

NOTE: You must include meta-tags around the configuration data to be added.

See Section 3.2.8 for more information on meta-tags.

add

Searches the /etc/cmpt directory for a file containing a definition for the

compartment. Searches the compartment definition for the first block of data with

the exact matching open and close comment meta tag as specified in the

concatenated child data elements. If a match is found, the comment meta-tags and

all data between are deleted. If the compartment definition is empty, the handler

deletes the compartment definition. If the compartment file is empty, the handler

removes it.

delete

Performs the equivalent of a delete followed by an add operation, with the

exception that the new data will be placed in the same location in the compartment

definition.

replace

Searches the /etc/cmpt directory for files containing matching meta tags. If a

match is found, the handler displays the entire meta-tag string. If the –verbose

option is specified, the handler displays the entire content of the meta-tag data.

list

Upon successful completion of the add, delete or replace operation, cmgr validates

all compartment configuration with the following command:

setrules -p

If the validation succeeds, cmgr notifies the operating system to reload the compartment

rules with the following command:

setrules

NOTE: The compartment handler processes a temporary copy of the compartment

configuration file. If the compartment handler returns an error, the contents of

configuration file will be unchanged from its original state.

The compartment element can have the following attributes:
