insf(1M) insf(1M)
EXAMPLES
Install special files for all new devices belonging to the
tty device class:
insf -C tty
Install special files to the new device added at hardware path
2/4.0.0:
insf -H 2/4.0.0
WARNINGS
insf should only be run in single-user mode. It can change the mode, owner, or group of an existing spe-
cial file, or unlink and recreate one; special files that are currently open may be left in an indeterminate
state.
Many commands and subsystems assume their device files are in
/dev, therefore the use of the -D option
is discouraged.
