-p first-optical-disk
:last-optical-disk
Install the special files for those optical disks located in slots in the range
first-optical-disk to last-optical-disk. The two variables can have values from the set
1a, 1b, ..., 32a, 32b
. This option only applies to the autox0 and schgr drivers.
If it is omitted, the 64 special files for both sides of 32 optical disks (
1a through 32b)
will be installed.
-q Quiet option. Normally, insf displays a message as each driver is processed. This
option suppresses the driver message, but not error messages. See the
-v option.
-s nstrpty Install nstrpty slave-side stream special files for the
pts driver. nstrpty is a decimal
number. This option only applies to the
pts
special file installation.
This option is effective only if the
-e option is specified or if an appropriate device
class or driver is specified with a
-C or -d option.
If this option is omitted, nstrpty defaults to 60.
-v Verbose option. In addition to the normal processing message, display the name of
each special file as it is created. See the
-q option.
Naming Conventions
Many special files are named using the
ccardttargetddevice naming convention. These variables have the
following meaning wherever they are used.
card The unique interface card identification number from
ioscan (see ioscan(1M)). It is
represented as a decimal number with a typical range of 0 to 255.
target The device target number, for example the address on a HP-FL or SCSI bus. It is
represented as a decimal number with a typical range of 0 to 15.
device A address unit within a device, for example, the unit in a HP-FL device or the LUN in a
SCSI device. It is represented as a decimal number with a typical range of 0 to 15.
Special Files
This subsection shows which special files are created and the permissions for each device driver.
The special file names are relative to the installation directory, normally /dev. This directory may be
overridden with the -D option.
insf sets the file permissions and the owner and group IDs. They are shown here in a format similar to
that of the ll command:
special-file permissions owner group
For example:
tty rw-rw-rw- bin bin
