Section 4 File Formats
Section 4 File Formats
intro(4) intro(4) NAME intro - introduction to file formats DESCRIPTION This section outlines the formats of various files. The C struct declarations for the file formats are given where applicable. Usually, these structures can be found in directories /usr/include or /usr/include/sys. SEE ALSO hier(5), introduction(9). A A Web access to HP-UX documentation at http://docs.hp.com.
a.out(4) a.out(4) NAME a.out - assembler and link editor output SYNOPSIS #include (for ELF files) #include (for SOM files) A aA DESCRIPTION ELF a.out The file name a.out is the default output file name from the link editor, ld(1). The link editor will make an a.out executable if there were no errors in linking. The output file of the assembler, as (1), also follows the format of the a.out file although its default file name is different.
a.out(4) a.out(4) the sum of the next maximal page boundary past the end of text plus the remainder of the last text address divided by the maximal page size. If the last text address is a multiple of the maximal page size, no duplication is necessary. The stack is automatically extended as required. The data segment is extended as requested by the brk(2) system call. SOM a.out (PA-RISC Only) The file name a.
a.out(4) a.out(4) In a relocatable file, initialized code and data often contain references to locations elsewhere in the file, and to unresolved symbols defined in other files. These references are patched at link time using the relocation information. Each entry in the relocation information (a "fixup") specifies a location within the initialized data for a subspace, and an expression that defines the actual value that should be placed at that location, relative to one or two symbols.
a.out(4) a.out(4) struct sys_clock { unsigned int secs; unsigned int nanosecs; }; Auxiliary Headers The auxiliary headers are contained in a single contiguous area in the file, and are located by a pointer in the file header. Auxiliary headers are used for two purposes: to attach users’ version and copyright strings to an object file, and to contain the information needed to load an executable program. In an executable program, the HP-UX auxiliary header must precede all other auxiliary headers.
a.out(4) a.
a.out(4) a.out(4) int unsigned int fixup_request_index; /* index to first fixup */ fixup_request_quantity; /* # of fixup requests */ }; Symbol Table The symbol table consists of a sequence of entries described by the structure shown below, from . Strings for symbol and qualifier names are contained in the symbol strings table, whose structure is identical with the space strings table.
a.out(4) A aA a.out(4) If a relocatable file is compiled with parameter type checking, extension records follow symbols that define and reference procedure entry points and global variables. The first extension record, the symbol extension record, defines the type of the return value or global variable, and (if a procedure or function) the number of parameters and the types of the first three parameters.
a.out(4) a.out(4) struct/array 17 For procedure entry points, the parameter relocation bits define the locations of the formal parameters and the return value. Normally, the first four words of the parameter list are passed in general registers (r26-r23) instead of on the stack, and the return value is returned in r29. Floating-point parameters in this range are passed instead in floating-point registers (fr4-fr7) and a floating-point value is returned in fr4.
a.out(4) #define #define #define #define #define #define #define a.
a.out(4) a.out(4) R_DP_RELATIVE Copy one instruction word with relocation. The word is assumed to be a dprelative load or store instruction (for example, ADDIL, LDW, STW). The target symbol is identified by symbol S. The linker forms the difference between the value of the symbol S and the value of the symbol $global$. By convention, the value of $global$ is always contained in register 27. Instructions may have a small constant in the displacement field of the instruction.
a.out(4) A aA a.out(4) R_RSEL Use an R-class field selector for the next fixup request instead of the default appropriate for the instruction. Depending on the current rounding mode, R´, RS´, RD´, or RR´ may be used. R_N_MODE Select round-down mode (L´/R´). This is the default mode at the beginning of each subspace. This setting remains in effect until explicitly changed or until the end of the subspace. R_S_MODE Select round-to-nearest-page mode (LS´/RS´).
a.out(4) a.out(4) side effect of this fixup request, the referenced fixup is moved to the front of the queue. R_N0SEL Indicates that the following fixup is applied to the first of a three-instruction sequence to access data, generated by the compilers to enable the importing of shared library data. R_N1SEL Uses a (N´) field selector for the next fixup request. This indicates that zero bits are to be used for the displacement on the instruction.
a.out(4) a.
a.out(4) R_LTP_OVERRIDE R_COMMENT R_TP_OVERRIDE R_RESERVED a.out(4) 220 221 222 224-255 1 6 1 none OP = B1; V = B2 to B6 none reserved Parameter relocation bits are encoded in the fixup requests in two ways, noted as rbits1 and rbits2 in the above table. The first encoding recognizes that the most common procedure calls have only general register arguments with no holes in the parameter list.
acct(4) acct(4) NAME acct - per-process accounting file format SYNOPSIS #include DESCRIPTION Files produced as a result of calling acct() (see acct (2)) have records in the form defined by
acct(4) acct(4) WARNINGS The ac_mem value for a short-lived command gives little information about the actual size of the command because ac_mem can be incremented while a different command (such as the shell) is being executed by the process. Kernel internal structures may change from release to release without warning. Applications directly relying on these structures are not supported. Accounting files are currently written in 32-bit format.
ar(4) ar(4) NAME ar - common archive file format SYNOPSIS #include DESCRIPTION The ar command is used to concatenate several files into an archive file (see ar (1)). Archives are used mainly as libraries to be searched by the link editor (see ld(1)). A aA Each archive begins with the archive magic string. #define #define ARMAG SARMAG "!\n" 8 /* magic string */ /* length of magic string */ Following the archive magic string are the archive file members.
ar(4) ar(4) contains /27 in the ar_name field. The long name string table would have the following format: 0 10 20 30 40 50 +0 t y a a g o +1 +2 | h | i | l | o | m | e | n | o | f | i | / | \n | | | | | | +3 s n . t l | | | | | +4 i g o h e | | | | | +5 s f / e n +6 +7 | a | v | i | l | \n | y | r | l | a | m | | | | | +8 e e e o e | | | | | +9 r n t n . | | | | | A SEE ALSO System Tools: ar (1) ld(1) Miscellaneous: a.
audeventstab(4) audeventstab(4) NAME audeventstab - define and describe audit system events DESCRIPTION The /usr/audit/audeventstab file lists audit event numbers, corresponding mnemonic names, and brief explanations of each event. Blank lines and comments (beginning with a # character) are allowed. Each non-comment, non-blank line in this file contains three parts: A aA event Audit event number in decimal: a single field separated by whitespace.
audit(4) audit(4) NAME audit - file format and other information for auditing SYNOPSIS #include DESCRIPTION Audit records are generated when users make security-relevant system calls, as well as by self-auditing processes that call audwrite() (see audwrite (2)). Access to the auditing system is restricted to superuser. Each audit record consists of an audit record header and a record body. The record header is comprised of time, process ID, error, event type, and record body length.
authcap(4) authcap(4) NAME authcap - security databases for trusted systems SYNOPSIS /tcb/files/auth/* /tcb/files/auth/system/* A aA DESCRIPTION All security-relevant databases are stored in an ASCII format in the file system. This format is converted to binary structures by support routines described in Section 3 manpages. This manpage describes the format of these databases, and describes the philosophy of conversion into data structures.
authcap(4) authcap(4) where num is a decimal or (0-preceded) octal number. Boolean capabilities have the format: id or id@ where the first form signals the presence of the capability and the second form signals the absence of the capability. String capabilities have the format: id=string where string is 0 or more characters. The \ and : characters are escaped as \\ and \: respectively. File Locking All databases use a lock file, the existence of which means that the file is currently being rewritten.
bootconf(4) bootconf(4) NAME bootconf - boot device configuration table DESCRIPTION This file, /stand/bootfonf, contains the address and disk layout type of the system’s boot devices or lif volumes. It is used by the Software Distributor and HP-UX kernel control scripts (fileset OSCore.KERN-RUN) to determine how and where to update the initial boot loader. Normally the kernel’s checkinstall script queries the system’s hardware and creates the file.
bootconf(4) # # # # l l l bootconf(4) Boot Device configuration file This file contains information regarding the location of the boot LIF. It is used by the KERN-RUN fileset to update the boot kernel. /dev/dsk/c1d0s2 /dev/dsk/c4d0s2 /dev/dsk/c5d0s2 The boot area is on a hard partitioned disk: # # # # p Boot Device configuration file This File contains information regarding the location of the boot LIF. It is used by the KERN-RUN fileset to update the boot kernel.
cdnode(4) cdnode(4) NAME cdnode - format of a CDFS cdnode SYNOPSIS #include #include DESCRIPTION This entry describes the cdnode structure and related concepts for the CDFS file system. A cA The CDFS file system does not have the concept of a separate entity called an inode. The information normally found in an HFS inode is kept in a cdnode data structure.
cdrom(4) cdrom(4) NAME cdrom - CD-ROM background information DESCRIPTION This manpage provides general information on existing CD-ROM standards, terminology, data layout, and levels of support. More detailed information is available in the standard documents listed in SEE ALSO. Not all topics discussed here are supported in the current HP-UX release. Refer to the DEPENDENCIES section for details about the contents of the current release.
cdrom(4) cdrom(4) and File Data (described below) to minimize seek times. The Directory and File Data contains data for all directory hierarchies on the CD-ROM and, as described above, can be made noncontiguous by the occasional inclusion of a path table. Volumes and Directory Hierarchies A volume is a single physical CD-ROM. A directory hierarchy is a hierarchical file system written on a volume.
cdrom(4) cdrom(4) numerical values are recorded most-significant-byte-first. One of each type of path table is required by both standards. The ISO standard allows for one additional optional copy of each type of path table, while the HSG standard allows for up to three additional optional copies of each type. Additional copies of path tables are useful for redundancy or seek time minimization.
cdrom(4) cdrom(4) Level 1 The system is permitted to ignore supplementary volume descriptors, their associated path tables, and all directory and file data associated with them. Level 2 No restrictions apply. In all cases, receiving systems must fulfill the receiving system requirements specified in section 10 of the ISO standard (no equivalent section exists for HSG). Interchange levels provide a way to specify the data structure and complexity that exists on a CDROM.
charmap(4) charmap(4) NAME charmap - symbolic translation file for localedef scripts SYNOPSIS localedef -f charmap locale_name DESCRIPTION Invoking the localedef command with the -f option causes symbolic names in the locale description file to be translated into the encodings given in the charmap file (see localedef (1M)). As a recommendation, a locale description file should be written completely with symbolic names.
charmap(4) charmap(4) The encoding is a character constant in one of three forms: decimal An escape character followed by the letter d, followed by one to three decimal digits. octal An escape character followed by one to three octal digits. hexadecimal An escape character followed by an x, followed by two hexadecimal digits. Multibyte characters are represented by the concatenation of character constants. All constants used in the encoding of a multibyte character must be of the same form.
core(4) core(4) NAME core - format of core image file DESCRIPTION The HP-UX system writes out a file containing a core image of a terminated process when certain signals are received (see signal (5) for the list of reasons). The most common causes are memory violations, illegal instructions, floating point exceptions, bus errors, and user-generated quit signals. The core image file is called core and is written in the process’s working directory (provided it is allowed by normal access controls).
cpio(4) cpio(4) NAME cpio - format of cpio archive DESCRIPTION The header structure, when the -c option of cpio is not used (see cpio (1)), is: struct { short ushort A cA short char } Hdr; c_magic, c_dev; c_ino, c_mode, c_uid, c_gid; c_nlink, c_rdev, c_mtime[2], c_namesize, c_filesize[2]; c_name[c_namesize rounded to word]; When the cpio -c option is used, the header information is described by: sscanf(Chdr,"%6ho%6ho%6ho%6ho%6ho%6ho%6ho%6ho%11lo%6ho%11lo", &Hdr.c_magic,&Hdr.c_dev,&Hdr.c_ino,&Hdr.
default(4) default(4) NAME default - system default database file for a trusted system SYNOPSIS /tcb/files/auth/system/default DESCRIPTION The system default database is unique in that it defines system-wide global parameters for a trusted system. It is designed to provide values for users and devices on a global scale rather than requiring an administrator to replicate values in user or device databases when they are all the same.
default(4) default(4) The system default database also defines numerous protected password database default values. Fields that begin with u_ correspond to protected password fields. Similarly, fields starting with the t_ prefix are terminal control database fields. These field types are used to supply system-wide default values if a user or device specific value is not supplied by the corresponding database.
devassign(4) devassign(4) NAME devassign - device assignment database file for a trusted system SYNOPSIS /tcb/files/devassign DESCRIPTION The system supports a single device assignment database that contains entries for local login terminals. The format of the terminal control database file is identical to other trusted system authentication database files. For more information on the file format, see authcap (4). The file consists of keyword field identifiers and values for those fields.
dialups(4) dialups(4) NAME dialups, d_passwd - dialup security control DESCRIPTION dialups and d_passwd are used to control the dialup security feature of login (see login (1)). If /etc/dialups is present, the first word on each line is compared with the name of the line upon which the login is being performed (including the /dev/, as returned by ttyname() (see ttyname (3C)). If the login is occurring on a line found in dialups, dialup security is invoked. Anything after a space or tab is ignored.
dir(4) dir(4) NAME dir - format of directories on short-name HFS file systems SYNOPSIS #include #include Remarks This entry describes the System V-compatible directory format for the HFS file system. It is provided strictly for backward compatibility and compatibility with applications expecting a System V file system environment. It is not compatible with the similar but more general HFS directory format in
disktab(4) disktab(4) NAME disktab - disk description file SYNOPSIS #include DESCRIPTION disktab is a simple database that describes disk geometries. Entries in disktab consist of a number of colon-separated fields. The first entry for each disk gives the names by which the disk is known, separated by vertical bar (|) characters. This file is provided for backward compatibility with previous HP-UX releases only. discouraged.
dlpi(4) dlpi(4) NAME dlpi.h - data link provider interface standard header file SYNOPSIS /usr/include/sys/dlpi.h DESCRIPTION is the standard header file containing DLPI requests as prescribed by the DLPI 2.0 standard. It contains the definitions for the primitives, acknowledgements and associated structures. The header file must be included by all DLS users (user-space and kernel-space) who intend to interact with LAN drivers through DLPI.
dlpi_drv(4) dlpi_drv(4) NAME dlpi_drv.h - definitions of interfaces for device drivers to interact with DLPI SYNOPSIS /usr/include/sio/dlpi_drv.h DESCRIPTION The header file contains definitions of structures and function prototypes that are required by networking device drivers to interact with DLPI (data link provider interface). The header file contains interfaces that could be used by tightly coupled and loosely coupled drivers.
dlpi_ext(4) dlpi_ext(4) NAME dlpi_ext.h - HP-specific extensions for DLPI SYNOPSIS /usr/include/sys/dlpi_ext.h DESCRIPTION is the header file for HP-specific extensions to data link provider interface, DLPI 2.0 standard. The header file contains definitions for primitives, acknowledgements, ioctls and associated structures to satisfy needs of DLS users over and beyond what is provided by DLPI 2.0 standard.
dosif(4) dosif(4) NAME DOSIF - DOS Interchange Format description DESCRIPTION The commands doschmod, doscp, dosdf, dosls, dosll, dosmkdir, dosrm, and dosrmdir are targeted for removal from HP-UX. Use the dos2ux and ux2dos commands to convert files between HP-UX and DOS file formats; see dos2ux (1). DOSIF (DOS Interchange Format) is the name given to the media format used by the DOS operating system. This format is based upon that used in IBM PC and PC AT and HP Vectra systems.
dp(4) dp(4) NAME dp - dedicated ports file used by DDFA software and Telnet port identification feature DESCRIPTION The dp file has two uses: Datacommunications and Terminal Controller Device File Access The dp file is used by the Datacommunications and Terminal Controller Device File Access (DDFA) software to allow terminal server ports to be programmatically accessed from HP-UX applications in the same way as devices connected directly to the HP-UX system.
dp(4) dp(4) If the dtc_name field explicitly defines the node name or the IP address of the terminal server port, the value in the board /port field must be xx/xx (use X or x). If the field is of the form xx/n where n is a decimal number, n is assumed to be the TCP port service address and it is used when the connection is established. A pseudonym This field is the absolute path of the device file known to the system and the end-user application.
dp(4) dp(4) /usr/examples/ddfa/pcf SEE ALSO dpp(1M), ocd(1M), ocdebug(1M), syslog(3C), pcf(4), ddfa(7).
efi(4) efi(4) (Itanium(R)-Based Processor Family Only) NAME efi - Extensible Firmware Interface description DESCRIPTION The EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) is an interface between HP-UX and the Itanium-based platform firmware. The file system supported by the Extensible Firmware Interface is based on the FAT file system. EFI encompasses the use of FAT-32 for a system partition, and FAT-12 or FAT-16 for removable media. The system partition is required on a bootable disk for the Itanium-based platform.
exports(4) exports(4) NAME exports, xtab - directories to export to NFS clients SYNOPSIS /etc/exports /etc/xtab DESCRIPTION File /etc/exports describes the directories that can be exported to NFS clients. The system administrator creates it using a text editor. mountd processes it each time a mount request is received (see mountd (1M)). /etc/exports is read automatically by the exportfs command (see exportfs (1M)).
exports(4) exports(4) hostname; this HP-only feature will be obsoleted in a later release of HP-UX. netgroup A netgroup contains a number of hostnames. With a server configured for DNS naming in the nsswitch "hosts" entry, any hostname in a netgroup must be represented as a fully qualified DNS name. DNS suffix To use domain membership the server must use DNS to resolve hostnames to IP addresses; that is, the "hosts" entry in the /etc/nsswitch.
exports(4) exports(4) /usr/bin -ro # export read-only to everyone /usr/stuff -access=bear,anon=-2,ro # several options on one line /usr/subnet -access=@mysubnet #use mysubent in /etc/networks /usr/subnet1 -access=@192.5 #clients must be in the 192.5.0.0 subnet /usr/domain -access=.myd.myc.com #clients must be in .myd.myc.com /usr/restrict -access=-host1.myd.myc.com:sales # disallow -host1 in the sales netgroup.
fs_vxfs(4) fs_vxfs(4) NAME fs_vxfs - format of a VxFS file system volume SYNOPSIS #include #include #include DESCRIPTION The VxFS super-block always begins at byte offset 8192 from the start of the file system. The super-block location is fixed so that various system utilities know where to locate it. Super-block fields contain the following fundamental sizes and offsets: A fA fs_bsize The block size of the file system.
fs_vxfs(4) fs_vxfs(4) fs_boffmask A mask value such that (byte_offset & fs_boffmask) yields the offset from the start of the nearest smaller block boundary. fs_bshift The log base 2 of fs_bsize . Used to convert a byte offset into a block offset. fs_bstart The offset, in blocks, of the first data block from the start of an allocation unit. An allocation unit header may contain padding to align the first data block to a specific boundary. fs_checksum A checksum of the above fields.
fs_vxfs(4) fs_vxfs(4) fsadm_vxfs (1M) for a description of file system expansion. VX_UPGRADING Set when a file system upgrade is in progress. If an fsck detects this flag, it performs an upgrade recovery. fs_fname File system name (6 characters). fs_fpack File system pack label (6 characters). fs_free The number of free data blocks. fs_logversion The version number of the log format.
fspec(4) fspec(4) NAME fspec - format specification in text files DESCRIPTION It is sometimes convenient to maintain text files on the HP-UX system with non-standard tabs, (meaning tabs that are not set at every eighth column). Generally, such files must be converted to a standard format − frequently by replacing all tabs with the appropriate number of spaces − before they can be processed by HP-UX system commands.
fstab(4) fstab(4) NAME fstab - static information about the file systems SYNOPSIS #include DESCRIPTION fstab is an ASCII file that resides in directory /etc. Programs read it, but do not write to or from it. System administrators are responsible for creating and maintaining this file properly. /etc/fstab contains a list of mountable file-system entries. Each file-system entry appears on a separate line, and consists of fields separated by one or more blanks or tabs.
fstab(4) fstab(4) backup frequency Reserved for possible use by future backup utilities. pass number Used by the fsck command to determine the order in which file system checks are done. The root file system should be specified with a pass number of 1, to be checked first, and other file systems should have larger numbers. (A file system with a pass number of zero is ignored by the fsck command.
fstab(4) fstab(4) SEE ALSO fsck(1M), mount(1M), swapon(1M), crashconf(1M), getfsent(3X), getmntent(3X), mnttab(4).
ftpaccess(4) ftpaccess(4) NAME ftpaccess - ftpd configuration file SYNOPSIS /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess DESCRIPTION The /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file is used to configure the operation of ftpd (see ftpd (1M)). Access Capabilities autogroup groupname class [ class ... ] If an anonymous user is a member of any of class , the ftp server will perform a setgid() to groupname . This allows access to group-and-owner-read-only files and directories to a particular class of anonymous users.
ftpaccess(4) ftpaccess(4) The group name may be specified by either name or numeric ID. To use a numeric group ID, place a % before the number. Ranges may be given. Use an asterisk (*) to mean all groups. guestuser works like guestgroup, except it uses the user name (or numeric ID). realuser and realgroup have the same syntax, but reverse the effect of guestuser and guestgroup. They allow real user access when the remote user would otherwise be determined a guest.
ftpaccess(4) ftpaccess(4) file-limit [ raw ] { in|out|total } count [ class ] Limit the number (count ) of data files that a user in the given class may transfer. The limit may be placed on files in, out or total. If class is not specified, the limit is the default for those classes which do not have a limit specified. The optional raw parameter applies the limit to the total traffic rather than just data files.
ftpaccess(4) ftpaccess(4) private { yes|no } After a user logs in, the SITE GROUP and SITE GPASS ftpd commands may be used to specify an enhanced access group and associated password. If the group name and password are valid, the user becomes (via setgid()) a member of the group specified in the group access file, /etc/ftpd/ftpgroups. The format of the group access file is: access_group_name :encrypted_password :real_group_name where access_group_name is an arbitrary (alphanumeric and punctuation) string.
ftpaccess(4) ftpaccess(4) cookies are available: %T local time (form Thu Nov 15 17:12:42 1990) %C current working directory %E the maintainer’s email address as defined in ftpaccess %R remote host name %L local host name %u username as determined via RFC931 authentication %U username given at login time %M maximum allowed number of users in this class %N current number of users in this class %B absolute limit on disk blocks allocated %b preferred limit on disk blocks %Q current blo
ftpaccess(4) ftpaccess(4) log transfers typelist directions Enables logging of file transfers for either real or anonymous FTP users. Logging of transfers TO the server (incoming) can be enabled separately from transfers FROM the server (outbound). typelist is a comma-separated list of any of the keywords anonymous, guest and real. If the real keyword is included, logging will be done for users using FTP to access real accounts.
ftpaccess(4) ftpaccess(4) /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file. If the user were to give the command: cd foo The directory will be searched for in the following order: ./foo an alias called foo /pub/packages/foo /.aliases/foo The cd path is only available with the cd command. If you have a large number of aliases, you might want to set up an aliases directory with links to all of the areas that you wish to make available to users. compress { yes|no } classglob [ classglob ...
ftpaccess(4) ftpaccess(4) not be matched. virtual address { hostname|email } string Sets string to either the hostname shown in the greeting message and STAT command, or to the email address used in message files and on the HELP command. virtual address allow username [ username ... ] virtual address deny username [ username ... ] Normally, real and guest users are not allowed to log in on the virtual server unless they are guests and chroot’d to the virtual root.
ftpaccess(4) ftpaccess(4) cidr is shorthand for an IP address in dotted-quad notation followed by a slash and the number of left-most bits which represent the network address (as opposed to the machine address). For example, if you are using the reserved class-A network 10, instead of a netmask of 255.0.0.0, use a cidr of /8 as in 10.0.0.0/8 to represent your network. Note: This option is not supported on IPv6 enabled systems . pasv-allow class [ addrglob ... ] port-allow class [ addrglob ...
ftpaccess(4) ftpaccess(4) Allows or disallows the ability to perform the specified function. By default, all users are allowed. typelist is a comma-separated list of any of the keywords anonymous, guest, real and class=. When class= appears, it must be followed by a classname. If any class= appears, the typelist restriction applies only to users in that class. passwd-check { none|trivial|rfc822 } [ enforce|warn ] Define the level and enforcement of password checking done by the server for anonymous ftp.
ftpaccess(4) ftpaccess(4) upload only applies to users who have a home directory (the argument to the chroot()) of rootdir . root-dir may be specified as "*" to match any home directory. The owner and/or group may each be specified as "*", in which case any uploaded files or directories will be created with the ownership of the directory in which they are created. The optional first parameter selects whether root-dir names are interpreted as absolute or relative to the current chroot’d environment.
ftpaccess(4) ftpaccess(4) allow-gid ftp allow-uid ftp denies ftp access to all privileged or special users and groups on a Linux box except the anonymous ftp user/group. In many cases, this can eliminate the need for the /etc/ftpd/ftpusers file. Support for that file still exists so it may be used when changing /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess is not desired. Throughout the ftpaccess file, at any place that a single UID or GID is allowed, either names or numbers may be used. To use numbers, put a % before it.
ftpaccess(4) ftpaccess(4) dns resolveroptions +aaonly -dnsrch turns on the aaonly option (only accept authoritative answers) and turns off the dnsrch option (search the domain path). WARNINGS IPv6 is supported on HP-UX 11i Version 1.0, with the optional IPv6 software installed. Currently, IPv6 is not supported on systems running HP-UX 11i Version 1.6. FILES /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess AUTHOR ftpaccess was developed by the Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri. SEE ALSO ftpshut(1), groups(1), ftpgroups(4).
ftpconversions(4) ftpconversions(4) NAME ftpconversions - ftpd conversions database SYNOPSIS /etc/ftpd/ftpconversions DESCRIPTION The conversions known by ftpd and their attributes are stored in an ASCII file that is structured as below. Each line in the file provides a description for a single conversion. Fields are separated by colons (:).
ftpgroups(4) ftpgroups(4) NAME ftpgroups - group password file for use with the SITE GROUP and SITE GPASS commands. SYNOPSIS /etc/ftpd/ftpgroups DESCRIPTION The ftpgroups file is the group password file for use with the SITE GROUP and SITE GPASS commands. To enable the use of this file, the entry private /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess. yes must be made in the configuration file This file contains an alphanumeric string, encrypted password, and the actual group name from the /etc/group file.
ftphosts(4) ftphosts(4) NAME ftphosts - ftpd individual user host access file SYNOPSIS /etc/ftpd/ftphosts DESCRIPTION The /etc/ftpd/ftphosts file is used to allow or deny access to certain accounts from various hosts. Access Capabilities allow username addrglob [ addrglob ... ] Only allow host(s) matching addrglob to log in as username . addrglob is a globbed domain name or a globbed numeric address. deny username addrglob [ addrglob ... ] Always deny host(s) matching addrglob to log in as username .
ftpservers(4) ftpservers(4) NAME ftpservers - ftpd virtual hosting configuration specification file SYNPOSIS /etc/ftpd/ftpservers DESCRIPTION The /etc/ftpd/ftpservers file is used to tell which set of virtual domain configuration files that the ftpd server should use. With VIRTUAL support, wu-ftpd has the ability to use separate configuration files for each virtual domain. For a virtual host, configuration files can be placed into a separate virtual domain directory.
ftpusers(4) ftpusers(4) NAME ftpusers - security file for ftpd DESCRIPTION ftpd rejects remote logins to local user accounts that are named in /etc/ftpd/ftpusers. Each restricted account name must appear alone on a line in the file. The line cannot contain any white space. User accounts that specify a restricted login shell in /etc/passwd should be listed in /etc/ftpd/ftpusers because ftpd accesses local accounts without using their login shells. UUCP accounts should be listed in /etc/ftpd/ftpusers.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) NAME gated.conf - GateDaemon configuration guide SYNOPSIS /etc/gated.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) used to show optional keywords and parameters. The vertical bar (|) is used to indicate between a choice of optional parameters. Parentheses (( and )) are used to group keywords and parameters when necessary. For example, in the syntax description: [ backbone | ( area area ) ] The square brackets say that either parameter is optional. The keywords are backbone and area. The vertical bar indicates that either "backbone" or "area area" may be specified.
gated.conf(4) generate (control) gated.conf(4) defines which routes to generate. Preference Preference is the value GateD uses to order preference of routes from one protocol or peer over another. Preference can be set in the GateD configuration files in several different configuration statements. Preference can be set based on network interface over another, from one protocol over another, or from one remote gateway over another.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) aggregate/generate routes OSPF AS external routes BGP routes EGP aggregate/generate ospf bgp egp 130 150 170 200 Sample Preference Specifications interfaces { interface 138.66.12.2 preference 10 ; } ; rip yes { preference 90 ; } ; import proto rip gateway 138.66.12.1 preference 75 ; In these statements the preference applicable to routes learned via RIP from gateway 138.66.12.1 is 75. The last preference applicable to routes learned via RIP from gateway 128.66.12.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) It is not currently possible to specify packet tracing from the command line. This is because a global option for packet tracing would potentially create too much output. When protocols inherit their tracing options from the global tracing options, tracing levels that do not make sense (such as parse, adv and packet tracing options) are masked out. Global tracing statements have an immediate effect, especially parsing options that effect the parsing of the configuration file.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) current the directory, it just specifies the prefix applied to included file names. %include "filename" Identifies an include file. The contents of the file is included in the gated.conf file at the point in the gated.conf file where the %include directive is encountered. If the filename is not fully qualified (does not begin with "/"), it is considered to be relative to the directory defined in the %directory directive.
gated.conf(4) gated.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) preference preference Sets the preference for routes to this interface when it is up and appears to be functioning properly. The default preference is 0. down preference preference Sets the preference for routes to this interface when GateD does not believe it to be functioning properly, but the kernel does not indicate it is down. The default value is 120.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) multicast Specifies that the interface is multicast capable. Interface lists An interface list is a list of references to interfaces or groups of interfaces. There are four methods available for referring to interfaces. They are listed here from most general to most specific. all This refers to all available interfaces. Interface name wildcard This refers to all the interfaces of the same type.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) If a subnet mask is specified on a point-to-point interface, it is only used by RIP version 1 and HELLO to determine which subnets may be propagated to the router on the other side of this interface. nonbroadcast multiaccess or nbma This type of interface is multiaccess, but not capable of broadcast. And example would be frame relay and X.25. This type of interface has a local address and a subnet mask.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) parameter may be specified to explicitly allow a subset of a range that was disallowed. Sample Definition Statements options gendefault ; autonomoussystem 249 ; interface 128.66.12.2 passive ; martians { 0.0.0.26 }; The statements in the sample perform the following functions: • The options statement tells the system to generate a default route when it peers with an EGP or BGP neighbor. • The autonomoussystem statement tells GateD to use AS number 249 for in EGP and BGP.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) The EGP protocol is described in RFC 827 and RFC 904. BGP Border Gateway Protocol is replacing EGP as the exterior protocol of choice. BGP exchanges reachability information between autonomous systems, but provides more capabilities than EGP. BGP uses path attributes to provide more information about each route as an aid in selecting the best route.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) Next hop The primary ones are the ability to advertise a next hop to use other than the router supplying the routing update. This is quite useful when advertising a static route to a dumb router that does not run RIP as it avoids having packets destined through the dumb router from having to cross a network twice. RIP I routers will ignore next hop information in RIP II packets. This may result in packets crossing a network twice, which is exactly what happens with RIP I.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) [noripin] | [ripin] [noripout] | [ripout] [metricin metric] [metricout metric] [version 1]|[version 2 [multicast|broadcast]] [[secondary] authentication [none | [[simple|md5] password]] ; trustedgateways gateway_list ; sourcegateways gateway_list ; traceoptions trace_options ; }]; The rip statement enables or disables RIP. If the rip statement is not specified, the default is rip on ;.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) ripout This is the default. This argument is necessary when it is desired to send RIP on pointto-point interfaces and may be necessary when noripin is used on a wildcard interface descriptor. metricin metric Specifies the RIP metric to add to incoming routes before they are installed in the routing table. The default is the kernel interface metric plus 1 (which is the default RIP hop count). If this value is specified, it will be used as the absolute value.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) response RIP RESPONSE packets, which is the type of packet that actually contains routing information. other Any other type of packet. The only valid ones are TRACE_ON and TRACE_OFF both of which are ignored. The Hello Protocol It is really better not to use HELLO unless you have a specific need for it. We plan to drop it some time around GateD 4.0.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) [nohelloin] | [helloin] [nohelloout] | [helloout] [metricin metric] [metricout metric] ; trustedgateways gateway_list ; sourcegateways gateway_list ; traceoptions trace_options ; }]; the hello statement enables or disables HELLO. If the hello statement is not specified, the default is hello off. If enabled, HELLO will assume nobroadcast when there is only one interface and broadcast when there is more than one interface.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) metricout metric Specifies the HELLO metric to be added to routes that are send via the specified interface(s). The default is zero. This option is used to make other routers prefer other sources of HELLO routes over this router. trustedgateways gateway_list Defines the list of gateways from which HELLO will accept updates. The gateway_list is simply a list of host names or IP addresses. By default, all routers on the shared network are trusted to supply routing information.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) OSPF uses the destination address and the type of service to choose the best route to the destination. OSPF intra- and inter-area routes are always imported into the GateD routing database with a preference of 10. It would be a violation of the protocol if an OSPF router did not participate fully in the OSPF of the area, so it is not possible to override this. Although it is possible to give other routes lower preference values explicitly, it is ill-advised to do so.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) }; interface interface_list nonbroadcast [cost cost ] { pollinterval time ; routers { gateway [ eligible ] ; }; interface_parameters }; Backbone only: virtuallink neighborid router_id transitarea area { interface_parameters }; }; }]; The following are the interface_parameters referred to above. The may be specified on any class of interface and are described under the interface clause.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) utility sends nonstandard OSPF packets which generate a text response from OSPF. By default these requests are not authenticated, if an authentication key is configured, the incoming requests must match the specified authentication key. No OSPF state may be changed by these packets, but the act of querying OSPF can utilize system resources. backbone area area Each OSPF router must be configured into at least one OSPF area.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) hellointerval time The length of time, in seconds, between Hello packets that the router sends on the interface. routerdeadinterval time The number of seconds not hearing Hello packets of a router before the neighbors of the router will declare it down. authkey auth_key Used by OSPF authentication to generate and verify the authentication field in the OSPF header. The authentication key can be configured on a per interface basis.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) request OSPF Link State Request packets which are used in synchronizing OSPF databases. lsu OSPF Link State Update packets which are used in synchronizing OSPF databases. ack OSPF Link State Ack packets which are used in synchronizing OSPF databases. The Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP) The Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP) is an exterior routing protocol used for exchanging routing information with gateways in other autonomous systems.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) packetsize maxpacketsize This defines the expected maximum size of a packet that EGP expects to receive from this neighbor. If a packet larger than this value is received, it will be incomplete and have to be discarded. The length of this packet will be noted and the expected size will be increased to be able to receive a packet of this size. Specifying the parameter here will prevent the first packet from being dropped. If not specified, the default size is 8192 bytes.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) ignored. For efficiency, some networks have external routers announce a default route to avoid sending large EGP update packets. exportdefault Enables GateD to include the default route (0.0.0.0) in EGP updates sent to this EGP neighbor. This allows the system to advertise the default route via EGP. Normally a default route is not included in EGP updates.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) update EGP POLL/UPDATE packets which are used to request and receive reachability updates. The BGP Protocol The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is an exterior routing protocol used for exchanging routing information between autonomous systems. BGP is used for exchange of routing information between multiple transit autonomous systems as well as between transit and stub autonomous systems.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) that the BGP routes will only be used to determine the path attributes associated with the IGP routes. Such groups also support distant peers, and also need to be informed of the IGP they are running with. For internal BGP group types (and for test groups), where possible a single outgoing message is built for all group peers based on the common policy.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) preference preference Sets the preference for routes learned from RIP. The default preference is 170. This preference may be overridden by a preference specified on the group or peer statements or by import policy. defaultmetric metric Defines the metric used when advertising routes via BGP. If not specified, no metric is propagated. This metric may be overridden by a metric specified on the neighbor or group statements or in export policy.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) the next hop is the current next hop of the local machine. All routing information advertised by and received from a test peer is discarded, and all BGP routes that can be advertised are sent back to the test peer. Metrics from EGP-derived and BGP-derived routes are forwarded in the advertisement. Otherwise no metric is included. Group parameters The BGP statement has group clauses and peer subclauses. Any number of peer subclauses may be specified within a group.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) will only be opened when an interface with the appropriate local address (through which the peer or gateway address is directly reachable) is operating. For other types of peers, a peer session will be maintained when any interface with the specified local address is operating. In either case incoming connections will only be recognized as matching a configured peer if they are addressed to the configured local address.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) routes on to version 3 neighbors. logupdown Causes a message to be logged via the syslog mechanism whenever a BGP peer enters or leaves the ESTABLISHED state. ttl ttl By default, GateD sets the IP TTL for local peers to one and the TTL for nonlocal peers to 255. This option mainly is provided when attempting to communicate with improperly functioning routers that ignore packets sent with a TTL of one. Not all kernels allow the TTL to be specified for TCP connections.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) Redirect Processing The redirect code is passed ICMP or ISO redirects learned by monitoring ICMP messages, or via the routing socket on systems that support it. It processes the redirect request and decides whether to accept the redirect. If the redirect is accepted, a route is installed in the gated routing table with the protocol redirect . Redirects are deleted from the routing table after 3 minutes.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) Tracing options There are no Redirect -specific tracing options. All nonerror messages are traced under the normal class. The Router Discovery Protocol The Router Discovery Protocol is an IETF standard protocol used to inform hosts of the existence of routers. It is intended to be used instead of having hosts wiretap routing protocols such as RIP. It is used in place of, or in addition to statically configured default routes in hosts.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) minadvinterval time The minimum time allowed between sending unsolicited broadcast or multicast Router Advertisements from the interface. Must be no less than 3 seconds and no greater than maxadvinterval. The default is 0.75 * maxadvinterval. lifetime time The lifetime of addresses in a Router Advertisement. Must be no less than maxadvinterval and no greater than 2:30:00 (two hours, thirty minutes or 9000 seconds). The default is 3 * maxadvinterval.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) When a Router Advertisement with a zero lifetime is received, the host deletes all routes with next-hop addresses learned from that router. In addition, any routers learned from ICMP redirects pointing to these addresses will be deleted. The same will happen when a Router Advertisement is not received to refresh these routes before the lifetime expires.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) many more routes. The speed of the kernel interface becomes critical when these protocols are used. To prevent GateD from locking up for significant periods of time installing large numbers of routes (up to a minute or more has been observed on real networks), the processing of these routes is now done in batches. The size of these batches may be controlled by the tuning parameters described below, but normally the default parameters will provide the proper functionality.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) no longer needs to monitor ICMP messages to learn about redirects. Plus, there is an indication of whether the kernel processed the redirect, GateD can safely ignore redirect messages that the kernel did not process. Updates visible Changes to the routing table by other processes, including the route command are received via the routing socket. This allows GateD to insure that the kernel forwarding table is in sync with the routing table.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) GateD reads re-reads this list every 15 second looking for changes. When the routing socket is in use, it also re-reads it whenever a messages is received indicating a change in routing configuration. Receipt of a SIGUSR2 signal also causes GateD to re-read the list. This interval may be explicitly configured in the interface configuration. Reading the interface list with sysctl BSD 4.4 added the ability to read the kernel interface list via the sysctl system call.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) flash [ limit number ] [ type interface | interior | all ] ; background [ limit number ] [ priority flash | higher | lower ] ; traceoptions trace_options ; }; options option_list Configure kernel options. The valid options are: nochange On systems supporting the routing socket this insures that changes operations will not be performed, only deletes and adds. This is useful on early versions of the routing socket code where the change operation was broken.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) are processed in batches in the background, that is, when no routing protocol traffic is being received. Normally, 120 routes are installed at a time to allow other tasks to be performed and this background processing is done at lower priority than flash updates the following parameters allow tuning of these parameters: limit number Specifies the number of route which may be processed at during one batch. The default is 120.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) limited by the number of multipath destinations supported (this compile time parameter is currently almost always one on Unix). Parameters for static routes are: interface interface_list When this parameter is specified, gateways are only considered valid when they are on one of these interfaces.See the section on interface list specification for the description of the interface_list. preference preference This option selects the preference of this static route.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) default host host These are all the possible formats for a route filter. Not all of these formats are available in all places, for instance the host and default formats are not valid for martians . In most cases it is possible to specify additional parameters relevant to the context of the filter. For example, on a martian statement it is possible to specify the allow keyword, on an import statement you can specify a preference, and on a export you can specify a metric.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) aspath aspath_regexp origin any | ( [ igp ] [egp ] [ incomplete ] ) This specifies that an AS matching the aspath_regexp with the specified origin is matched. AS path regular expressions Technically, an AS path regular expression is a regular expression with the alphabet being the set of AS numbers. An AS path regular expression is composed of one or more AS paths expressions. An AS path expressions is composed of AS path terms and AS path operators.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) restrict Specifies that the routes are not desired in the routing table. In some cases this means that the routes are not installed in the routing table. In others it means that they are installed with a negative preference; this prevents them from becoming active so they will not be installed in the forwarding table, or exported to other protocols. preference preference Specifies the preference value used when comparing this route to other routes from other protocols.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) The importation of RIP, HELLO and Redirect routes may be controlled by any of protocol, source interface and source gateway. If more than one is specified, they are processed from most general (protocol) to most specific (gateway). RIP and HELLO do not support the use of preference to choose between routes of the same protocol. That is left to the protocol metrics. These protocols do not save routes that were rejected since they have short update intervals.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) default host host Specifying the destination As mentioned above, the syntax of the export statement varies depending on the protocol it is being applied to. One thing that applies in all cases is the specification of a metric. All protocols define a default metric to be used for routes being exported, in most cases this can be overridden at several levels of the export statement.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) [ metric metric ] { export_list ; }; It is not possible to create OSPF intra- or inter-area routes by exporting routes from the GateD routing table into OSPF. It is only possible to export from the GateD routing table into OSPF ASE routes. It is also not possible to control the propagation of OSPF routes within the OSPF protocol. There are two types of OSPF ASE routes, type 1 and type 2, see the OSPF protocol configuration for a detailed explanation of the two types.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) direct Routes to directly attached interfaces. static Static routes specified in a static clause. kernel On systems with the routing socket, routes learned from the routing socket are installed in the GateD routing table with a protocol of kernel. These routes may be exported by referencing this protocol. This is useful when it is desirable to have a script install routes with the route command and propagate them to other routing protocols.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) Route aggregation is also used by regional and national networks to reduce the amount of routing information passed around. With careful allocation of network addresses to clients, regional networks can just announce one route to regional networks instead of hundreds. Aggregate routes are not actually used for packet forwarding by the originator of the aggregate route, only by the receiver (if it wishes).
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) as autonomous_system Restrict selection of routes to those learned from the specified autonomous system. tag tag Restrict selection of routes to those with the specified tag. aspath aspath_regexp Restrict selection of routes to those that match the specified AS path. restrict Indicates that these routes are not to be considered as contributors of the specified aggregate. The specified protocol may be any of the protocols supported by GateD. route_filter See below.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) distance An EGP metric. See metric. Valid values are from zero to 255 inclusive. egp exterior gateway protocol exterior routing protocol A class of routing protocols used to exchange routing information within an autonomous system. A detailed explanation of exterior gateway protocols is available in the Protocol Overview. EGP Exterior Gateway Protocol One of a class of exterior gateway protocols, described in more detail in the EGP section of the Protocol Overview.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) which bits of the destination are significant. Except when used in a route filter, GateD only supports contiguous masks. mask length The number of significant bits in the mask. metric One of the units used to help a system determine the best route. Metrics may be based on hop count, routing delay, or an arbitrary value set by the administrator depending on the type of routing protocol. Routing metrics may influence the value of assigned internal preferences. (See preference.
gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4) Peers are usually on a shared network, but not always. This term is mostly used by BGP. Usually synonymous with neighbor. port A UDP or TCP port number. Valid values are from 1 through 65535 inclusive. preference A preference is a value between 0 (zero) and 255 used to select between many routes to the same destination. The route with the best (numerically lowest) preference is as the active route.
gated.conf(4) ttl gated.conf(4) The Time To Live (TTL) of an IP packet. Valid values are from one (1) through 255 inclusive. TOS type of service The type of service is for internet service quality selection. The type of service is specified along the abstract parameters precedence, delay, throughput, reliability, and cost. These abstract parameters are to be mapped into the actual service parameters of the particular networks the datagram traverses.
gettydefs(4) gettydefs(4) NAME gettydefs - speed and terminal settings used by getty DESCRIPTION The /etc/gettydefs file contains information used by getty to set up the speed and terminal settings for a line (see getty (1M)). It supplies information on what the login prompt should look like. It also supplies the speed to try next if the user indicates the current speed is not correct by typing a Break character.
group(4) group(4) NAME group, logingroup - group file, grp.h DESCRIPTION group contains for each group the following information: • group name • encrypted password • numerical group ID • comma-separated list of all users allowed in the group This is an ASCII file. Fields are separated by colons, and each group is separated from the next by a new-line. No spaces should separate the fields or parts of fields on any line. If the password field is null, no password is associated with the group.
group(4) group(4) There is no single tool available to completely ensure that /etc/passwd, /etc/group, and /etc/logingroup are compatible. However, pwck and grpck can be used to simplify the task (see pwck (1M)). There is no tool for setting group passwords in /etc/group.
hosts(4) hosts(4) NAME hosts - host name data base DESCRIPTION The file /etc/hosts associates Internet (IP) addresses with official host names and aliases. This allows a user to refer to a host by a symbolic name instead of an Internet address. Note : This file must contain all addresses for local interfaces that ifconfig needs at boot time (see ifconfig(1M)).
hosts.equiv(4) hosts.equiv(4) NAME hosts.equiv, .rhosts - security files authorizing access by remote hosts and users on local host DESCRIPTION The /etc/hosts.equiv file and files named .rhosts found in users’ home directories specify remote hosts and users that are "equivalent" to the local host or user. Users from equivalent remote hosts are permitted to access a local account using rcp or remsh or to rlogin to the local account without supplying a password (see rcp (1), remsh (1), and rlogin (1)).
hosts.equiv(4) hosts.equiv(4) name (only) must match the specified network group according to the rules defined in netgroup (4) in order for the host name to match. Similarly, if the user name in hostequiv is of this form, the remote user name (only) must match the specified network group in order for the user name to match. -@netgroup_name netgroup_name is the name of a network group as defined in netgroup (4).
hosts.equiv(4) hosts.equiv(4) + -chm hostB Any user from hostB except chm is allowed to access an account on hostA with the same user name. However, if .rhosts in the home directory of user chm on hostA contains: hostB then user chm from hostB can access account chm on hostA. 6. /etc/hosts.
inetd.conf(4) inetd.conf(4) NAME inetd.conf - configuration file for inetd DESCRIPTION On invocation, the inetd daemon reads its configuration information from the /etc/inetd.conf configuration file, and possibly at some later time in response to a SIGHUP signal (see inetd (1M)). Each line in the file is treated either as a comment or as configuration information for a given service Comments are denoted by a # at the beginning of a line.
inetd.conf(4) inetd.conf(4) program number Defines a particular service grouping and is unique. version number Version supported by the RPC service. This number can be a single value, or a range, if the program handles multiple versions; for example, 1 or 1-3. Ranges are separated by a hyphen (-). Version numbers allow RPC protocols to be extended and modified, and make it possible for old and new protocols to share the same server process.
inetd.sec(4) inetd.sec(4) NAME inetd.sec - optional security file for inetd DESCRIPTION When inetd accepts a connection from a remote system, it checks the address of the host requesting the service against the list of hosts to be allowed or denied access to the specific service (see inetd (1M)). The file inetd.sec allows the system administrator to control which hosts (or networks in general) are allowed to use the system remotely.
inetd.sec(4) inetd.sec(4) Allow access to the shell service by any host: shell allow or shell IPv6 FUNCTIONALITY For an IPv6 service, an IPv6 address can be specified in the host address field of inetd.sec. The host address field can contain IPv6 addresses, IPv4 addresses, or both. This specification includes the IPv4 mapped IPv6 addresses also. Host names for IPv6 services are the official names of the hosts returned by getaddrinfo().
inetsvcs.conf(4) inetsvcs.conf(4) NAME inetsvcs.conf - configuration file for secure internet services DESCRIPTION The internet services, ftp, rcp, remsh, rlogin and telnet, use the /etc/inetsvcs.conf configuration file to decide their behavior (i.e., whether to allow network authentication using Kerberos V5 or not). The contents of the file decide whether the secure internet services are to be enabled or not. This configuration file is updated by the program inetsvcs_sec.
info(4) info(4) NAME info - diskless client configuration information file DESCRIPTION The info file is a POSIX shell sourceable file which contains parameter definitions used at boot time. Typically, it will be an empty file and default values will be used for all parameters. Following is the list of parameters which can be defined in the info file: ROOT_SERVER_IP Specifies the IP address of the client’s private root server.
inittab(4) inittab(4) NAME inittab - script for the boot init process DESCRIPTION The /etc/inittab file supplies the script to the boot init daemon in its role as a general process dispatcher (see init (1M)). The process that constitutes the majority of boot init’s process dispatching activities is the line process /usr/sbin/getty that initiates individual terminal lines. Other processes typically dispatched by boot init are daemons and shells.
inittab(4) inittab(4) rstate field is empty, boot init enters run level 6. The initdefault entry cannot specify that boot init start in the single-user state. Additionally, if boot init does not find an initdefault entry in inittab, it requests an initial run level from the user at boot time. process off If the process associated with this entry is currently running, send the warning signal (SIGTERM) and wait 20 seconds before forcibly terminating the process via the kill signal (SIGKILL).
inode_vxfs(4) inode_vxfs(4) NAME inode_vxfs - format of a VxFS file system inode SYNOPSIS #include #include DESCRIPTION A VxFS inode is typically 256 bytes in length, but an inode can also be 512 bytes. You specify the inode size with mkfs. An inode entry has the following format: A iA i_mode The mode and type of file. i_nlink The number of links to the file. i_uid The inode owner. i_gid The inode group. i_size The size in bytes of the file.
inode_vxfs(4) inode_vxfs(4) For directories, the following field is supported: The parent directory inode inumber if the inode is a directory. This replaces the standard ‘‘..’’ (dot dot) entry in the first directory block. VxFS does not have explicit ‘‘.’’ (dot ) and ‘‘..’’ (dot dot) entries. i_dotdot For regular files, the following fields are supported: i_reserve The number of data blocks reserved for exclusive use by the file (preallocation). A preallocation can be requested using an ioctl.

Where such distinctions exist, conditional compilation or other definitions can be used to isolate the differences. Flags and typedefs to resolve these distinctions are collected in the header file which contains constants identifying various HP-UX implementations.
named.conf(4) named.conf(4) NAME named.conf - configuration file for NameDaemon SYNOPSIS /etc/named.conf DESCRIPTION BIND 9 configuration is broadly similar to BIND 8.x. However, there are a few new areas of configuration, such as views. BIND 8.x configuration files should work with few alterations in BIND 9.2, although more complex configurations need to be reviewed to check if they can be more efficiently implemented using the new features implemented in BIND 9.2. BIND 4.9.
named.conf(4) named.conf(4) Address Match Lists Syntax address_match_list3D address_match_list_element ; [ address_match_list_element; ... ] address_match_list_element3D [ ! ] (ip_address [/length ] | key key_id | acl_name | { address_match_list } ) Address Match Lists Definition and Usage Address match lists are primarily used to determine access control for various server operations.
named.conf(4) named.conf(4) trusted-keys defines trusted DNSSEC keys. view defines a view. zone defines a zone. The logging and options statements may occur only once per configuration. acl Statement Grammar acl acl-name { address_match_list }; acl Statement Definition and Usage The acl statement assigns a symbolic name to an address match list. It gets its name from the primary use of address match lists: "Access Control Lists" (ACLs).
named.conf(4) named.conf(4) The UNIX control channel type of BIND 8 is not supported in BIND 9.2, and is not expected to be added in future releases. If it is present in the controls statement from a BIND 8 configuration file, it is ignored and a warning is logged. include Statement Grammar include filename ; include Statement Definition and Usage The include statement inserts the specified file at the point where the include statement is encountered.
named.conf(4) named.conf(4) }; In BIND 9.2, the logging configuration is established only when the entire configuration file has been parsed. In BIND 8, it was established as soon as the logging statement was parsed. When the server starts up, all logging messages related to syntax errors in the configuration file go to the default channels, or to standard error if the -g option was specified.
named.conf(4) named.conf(4) trace. The global debug level can be set to zero, and debugging mode turned off, by running rndc notrace. All debugging messages in the server have a debug level, and higher debug levels give more detailed output.
named.conf(4) named.conf(4) in that category will be sent to the default category instead.
named.conf(4) named.conf(4) [ search { domain_name ; [ domain_name ; ... ] }; ] [ ndots number; ] }; lwres Statement Definition and Usage The lwres statement configures the name server to also act as a lightweight resolver server. There may be be multiple lwres statements configuring lightweight resolver servers with different properties. The listen-on statement specifies a list of addresses and ports that a lightweight resolver daemon should accept requests on. If no port is specified, port 921 is used.
named.conf(4) [ [ [ [ A nA [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ named.conf(4) transfer-source-v6 (ip6_addr | *) [port ip_port] ; ] notify-source (ip4_addr | *) [port ip_port] ; ] notify-source-v6 (ip6_addr | *) [port ip_port] ; ] also-notify { ip_addr [port ip_port] ; [ ip_addr [port ip_port] ; ...
named.conf(4) named.conf(4) statistics-file The pathname of the file in which the server appends statistics using rndc stats. Default is named.stats in the server’s current directory. port The UDP/TCP port number the server uses for receiving and sending DNS protocol traffic. Default is 53. This option is mainly intended for server testing; a server using a port other than 53 will not be able to communicate with the global DNS. random-device The source of entropy to be used by the server.
named.conf(4) named.conf(4) zone-statistics If "yes", the server will, by default, collect statistical data on all zones in the server. These statistics may be accessed using rndc stats, which will dump them to the file listed in the statistics-file. provide-ixfr clause determines whether the local server, acting as master, will respond with an incremental zone transfer when the given remote server, a slave, requests it. If set to "yes", incremental transfer will be provided whenever possible.
named.conf(4) named.conf(4) forwarders Specifies the IP addresses to be used for forwarding. The default is the empty list (no forwarding). Forwarding can also be configured on a per-domain basis, allowing for the global forwarding options to be overridden in a variety of ways. You can set a particular domain to use different forwarders, or have a different forward only/first: behavior, or not forward at all.
named.conf(4) named.conf(4) To make the server not to listen on any IPv6 address, use listen-on-v6 { none; }; If no listen-on-v6 statement is specified, the server will not listen on any IPv6 address. Query Address If the server is unable to answer a question, it will query other nameservers. query-source specifies the address and port used for such queries. For queries sent over IPv6, there is a separate querysource-v6 option.
named.conf(4) named.conf(4) requests in excess of the limit will be refused. Default value is 10. transfers-per-ns The maximum number of concurrently running inbound zone transfers from a given remote nameserver. Default value is 2. Increasing transfers-per-ns may speed up the convergence of slave zones, but it also may increase the load on the remote nameserver. transfers-per-ns may be overridden on a per-server basis by using the transfers phrase of the server statement.
named.conf(4) named.conf(4) tcp-clients The maximum number of simultaneous client TCP connections that the server will accept. Default is 100. max-cache-size The maximum amount of memory to use for the server’s cache, in bytes. When the amount of data in the cache reaches this limit, the server will cause records to expire prematurely so that the limit is not exceeded. In a server with multiple views, the limit applies separately to the cache of each view.
named.conf(4) named.conf(4) // THEN use .1, or .2 or .3 { 192.168.2/24; 192.168.3/24; }; }; }; { 192.168.2/24; // IF on class C 192.168.2 { 192.168.2/24; // THEN use .2, or .1 or .3 { 192.168.1/24; 192.168.3/24; }; }; }; { 192.168.3/24; // IF on class C 192.168.3 { 192.168.3/24; // THEN use .3, or .1 or .2 { 192.168.1/24; 192.168.2/24; }; }; }; { { 192.168.4/24; 192.168.5/24; }; // if .4 or .
named.conf(4) named.conf(4) min-refresh-time, max-refresh-time, min-retry-time, max-retry-time These options control the server’s behavior on refreshing a zone (querying for SOA changes) or retrying failed transfers. Usually the SOA values for the zone are used, but these values are set by the master, giving slave server administrators little control over their contents. These options allow the administrator to set a minimum and maximum refresh and retry time either per-zone, per-view, or per-server.
named.conf(4) named.conf(4) it possible to disable the use of IXFR even when both master and slave claim to support it, for example if one of the servers is defective and crashes or corrupts data when IXFR is used. The edns (Extended DNS) clause determines whether the local server will attempt to use EDNS when communicating with the remote server. Default is "yes". The server supports two zone transfer methods. The first, one-answer, uses one DNS message per resource record transferred.
named.conf(4) named.conf(4) Many of the options given in the options statement can also be used within a view statement, and then apply only when resolving queries with that view. When no view-specific value is given, the value in the options statement is used as a default. Also, zone options can have default values specified in the view statement; these view-specific defaults take precedence over those in the options statement. Views are class-specific. If no class is given, class IN is assumed.

named.conf(4) named.conf(4) development is CHAOSnet, a LAN protocol created in the mid-1970s. Zone data for it can be specified with the CHAOS class. Zone Options allow-notify See the description of allow-notify. allow-query See the description of allow-query. allow-transfer See the description of allow-transfer. allow-update Specifies which hosts are allowed to submit Dynamic DNS updates for master zones. The default is to deny updates from all hosts.
named.conf(4) notify named.conf(4) See the description of notify above. zone-statistics If yes, the server will keep statistical information for this zone, which can be dumped to the statistics-file defined in the server options. sig-validity-interval See the description of sig-validity-interval. transfer-source See the description of transfer-source. transfer-source-v6 See the description of transfer-source-v6. notify-source See the description of notify-source.
named.conf(4) named.conf(4) Resource Records A domain name identifies a node. Each node has a set of resource information, which may be empty. The set of resource information associated with a particular name is composed of separate RRs. The order of RRs in a set is not significant and need not be preserved by nameservers, resolvers, or other parts of the DNS. However, sorting of multiple RRs is permitted for optimization purposes, for example, to specify that a particular nearby server be tried first.
named.conf(4) NS a fully qualified domain name. PTR a fully qualified domain name. SOA several fields. named.conf(4) The owner name is often implicit, rather than forming an integral part of the RR. For example, many nameservers internally form tree or hash structures for the name space, and chain RRs off nodes. The remaining RR parts are the fixed header (type, class, TTL) which is consistent for all RRs, and a variable part (RDATA) that fits the needs of the resource being described.
named.conf(4) named.conf(4) name. The domain name given is the machine to which the mail will be delivered. It must have an associated A record - CNAME is not sufficient. For a given domain, if there is both a CNAME record and an MX record, the MX record is in error, and will be ignored. Instead, the mail will be delivered to the server specified in the MX record pointed to by the CNAME. example.com.INMX10mail.example.com. INMX10mail2.example.com. INMX20mail.backup.org. mail.example.com.INA10.0.0.1 mail2.

pam.conf(4) pam.conf(4) NAME pam.conf - configuration file for pluggable authentication modules SYNOPSIS /etc/pam.conf DESCRIPTION pam.conf is the configuration file for the Pluggable Authentication Module architecture, or PAM. A PAM module provides functionality for one or more of four possible services: authentication, account management , session management , and password management . An authentication service module provides functionality to authenticate a user and set up user credentials.
pam.conf(4) pam.conf(4) help reduce the impact of any future /etc/pam.conf file format changes, the only supported way of parsing /etc/pam.conf is through the PAM library interfaces. These interfaces will transparently do any necessary expansion of reserved tokens, such as $ISA. options The options field is used by the PAM framework layer to pass module-specific options to the modules. It is up to the module to parse and interpret the options.

Each field within each user’s entry is separated from the next by a colon. Each user is separated from the next by a newline. This file resides in the /etc directory.
passwd(4) passwd(4) The remaining two characters define the week when the password was last changed (a null string is equivalent to zero). M and m have numerical values in the range 0 through 63 that correspond to the 64character set of "digits" shown above. If m = M = 0 (derived from the string . or ..), the user is forced to change his password next time he logs in (and the "age" disappears from his entry in the password file). If m > M (signified, for example, by the string .
passwd(4) passwd(4) WARNINGS The login shell for the root user (uid 0) must be /sbin/sh to guarantee the system can always boot. Other shells such as sh, ksh, and csh are all located under the /usr directory which may not be mounted during earlier stages of the bootup process. Changing the login shell of the root user to a value other than /sbin/sh is allowed but may result in a non-functional system. The information kept in the gecos field may conflict with unsupported or future uses of this field.

Programs may use the interfaces described in the getspent (3C) manpage to access this information. These functions return a pointer to an spwd structure, which is defined in the header file.
shells(4) shells(4) NAME shells - list of allowed login shells SYNOPSIS /etc/shells DESCRIPTION /etc/shells is an ASCII file containing a list of legal shells on the system. Each shell is listed in the file by its absolute path name. Lines or portions of lines beginning with # are assumed to be comments and are ignored. Blank lines are also ignored. AUTHOR shells was developed by HP and the University of California, Berkeley. FILES /etc/shells SEE ALSO chsh(1), ftpd(1M), getusershell(3C).
slp.conf(4) slp.conf(4) NAME slp.conf - Configuration file for SLP Agents SYNOPSIS /etc/slp.conf DESCRIPTION The /etc/slp.conf file contains various configuration options for the agents which include the clients that use SLP APIs, the Service Agent server and Directory agents. It determines the configuration of all the SLP agents running on that host. The SLP SA server and DA read the slp.conf file during their invocation and also when they are reconfigured by sending the SIGHUP signal.
slp.conf(4) slp.conf(4) UA Configuration The following sections of configuration properties are specified in RFC2614 and are supported for the above categories. DA configuration The configuration properties for DAs are explained in this section. net.slp.isDA A boolean indicating if the SLP server is to act as a DA. If false, slpd runs as SA server. Default is false. net.slp.DAHeartBeat A 32 bit integer giving the number of seconds for the DA heartbeat. The default is 3 hours (10800 seconds).
slp.conf(4) slp.conf(4) net.slp.traceDrop A boolean controlling printing of details when a SLP message is dropped for any reason. Default is false. net.slp.traceReg A boolean controlling dumps of all registered services upon registration and deregistration. If true, the contents of the DA or SA server are dumped after a registration or deregistration occurs. Default is false. Network Configuration Properties The properties in this section allow various network configuration properties to be set. net.
slp.conf(4) slp.conf(4) net.slp.SAAttributes A comma-separated list of parenthesized attribute/value list pairs that the SA must advertise in SAAdverts. The property must be in the SLP attribute list wire format, including escapes for reserved characters. Currently this property is ignored. UA Configuration This section describes configuration properties for the UA. These properties can be set either programmatically by the UA or in the configuration file. net.slp.
slp.reg(4) slp.reg(4) NAME slp.reg - SLP static registration file SYNOPSIS /etc/slp.reg DESCRIPTION The /etc/slp.reg file provides a mechanism for old applications which are not SLP enabled and cannot be converted, and for portably exchanging registrations between SLP implementations. This file contains a list of service registrations that are read by slpd at startup time and advertised later by slpd which can be acting either as the service agent server or the directory agent.
slp.reg(4) slp.reg(4) If the scope list contains scopes that are not in the net.slp.useScopes property (provided that property is set) or are not specified by DHCP, the API library should reject the registration and issue a warning message. AUTHOR slp.reg was developed by the Caldera Systems, Inc. SEE ALSO slpd(1M), libslp(3N), slp.conf(4), slp_syntax(7). RFC 2614, RFC 2608.
sm(4) sm(4) NAME sm, sm.bak, state - statd directory and file structures SYNOPSIS /var/statmon/sm /var/statmon/sm.bak /var/statmon/state DESCRIPTION /var/statmon/sm and /var/statmon/sm.bak are directories generated by statd (see statd (1M)). Each file in /var/statmon/sm represents one or more machines to be monitored by the statd daemon. Each file in /var/statmon/sm.bak represents one or more machines to be notified by the statd daemon upon its recovery.
snmpd.conf(4) snmpd.conf(4) NAME snmpd.conf - configuration file for the SNMP agent DESCRIPTION When invoked, the SNMP agent reads its configuration information from the /etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf configuration file. The SNMP agent is either the snmpd(1M) (included with HP-UX) or the snmpd.ea (purchased with the HP OpenView product). The SNMP agent will not be able to reply if no values are configured in /etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf, i.e., /etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf is empty.
snmpd.conf(4) snmpd.conf(4) usmUserEngineID is an OctetString, which is authoritative SNMP engine’s administratively unique identifier. For snmpget/snmpset requests, the value in agent configuration file will be localSNMPID . usmUserName is user name in ASCII text. usmUserAuthProtocol is the Authentication Protocol used for sending and receiving messages, on behalf of this SNMP engine. Currently supported values are usmNoAuthProtocol and usmHMACMD5AuthProtocol.
snmpd.conf(4) vacmAccessStorageType snmpd.conf(4) is nonVolatile, permanent, or readOnly. When the TAG is vacmViewTreeFamilyEntry, the format of the VALUE clause is as follows: vacmViewTreeFamilyViewName vacmViewTreeFamilySubtree vacmViewTreeFamilyMask vacmViewTreeFamilyType vacmViewTreeFamilyStorageType where: vacmViewTreeFamilyViewName is the name of the family of this view of subtrees. vacmViewTreeFamilySubtree is the object Identifier that defines the subtree.

softkeys(4) .IL tag indent softkeys(4) Begin a new indented line (similar to .IP except no blank line is displayed). Note that these macros are recognized anywhere in the input helptext, not just at the beginning of a line. Also, all macro arguments must be present , even if they consist of nothing more than a quoted empty string.
symlink(4) symlink(4) NAME symlink - symbolic link DESCRIPTION A symbolic (or soft ) link is a file whose name indirectly refers (points) to a relative or absolute path name. During path name interpretation, a symbolic link to a relative path name is expanded to the path name being interpreted, and a symbolic link to an absolute path name is replaced with the path name being interpreted. Thus, given the path name /a/b/c/d: If c is a symbolic link to a relative path name such as ..

terminfo(4) terminfo(4) (ENHANCED CURSES) Types of Capabilities in the Sample Entry The sample entry shows the formats for the three types of terminfo capabilities: boolean, numeric, and string. All capabilities specified in the terminfo source file must be followed by commas, including the last capability in the source file. In terminfo source files, capabilities are referenced by their capability names (as shown in the Capname column of the previous tables).
terminfo(4) terminfo(4) (ENHANCED CURSES) \nnn Any character, specified as three octal digits (See the "X/Open System Interface Definitions, Issue 4, Version 2" specification, "General Terminal Interface".) Commented-Out Capabilities Sometimes individual capabilities must be commented out. To do this, put a period before the capability name. For example, see the second ind in the example in the Sample Entry section above.
terminfo(4) terminfo(4) (ENHANCED CURSES) Parameterized Strings Cursor addressing and other strings requiring arguments are described by a argumentized string capability with escapes in a form (%x) comparable to printf() (see printf (1)). For example, to address the cursor, the cup capability is given, using two arguments: the row and column to address to. (Rows and columns are numbered from zero and refer to the physical screen visible to the user, not to any unseen memory.
terminfo(4) terminfo(4) (ENHANCED CURSES) tabs are never expanded, so \t is safe to send. This turns out to be essential for the Ann Arbor 4080.) A final example is the LSI ADM-3a, which uses row and column offset by a blank character, thus: cup=\E=%p1%’\s’%+%c%p2%’\s’%+%c After sending "\E=", this pushes the first argument, pushes the ASCII decimal value for a space (32), adds them (pushing the sum on the stack in place of the two previous values), and outputs that value as a character.
terminfo(4) terminfo(4) (ENHANCED CURSES) If the terminal has the ability to define a window as part of memory, which all commands affect, it should be given as the argumentized string wind. The four arguments are the starting and ending lines in memory and the starting and ending columns in memory, in that order. If the terminal can retain display memory above, then the da capability should be given; if display memory can be retained below, then db should be given.
terminfo(4) terminfo(4) (ENHANCED CURSES) • Protected text (prot) • A reverse-video screen (rev) • An alternate character set (smacs to enter this mode and rmacs to exit it). (If a command is necessary before you can enter alternate character set mode, give the sequence in enacs or "enable alternate-character-set" mode.) Turning on any of these modes singly may turn off other modes. sgr0 should be used to turn off all video enhancement capabilities.
terminfo(4) terminfo(4) (ENHANCED CURSES) tparm() Argument p1 p2 p3 p4 p5 p6 p7 p8 p9 Attribute none standout underline reverse blink dim bold invis protect altcharset Escape Sequence \E[0m \E[0;4;7m \E[0;3m \E[0;4m \E[0;5m \E[0;7m \E[0;3;4m \E[0;8m not available ˆO (off) ˆN (on) Note that each escape sequence requires a 0 to turn off other modes before turning on its own mode. Also note that, as suggested above, standout is set up to be the combination of reverse and dim.
terminfo(4) terminfo(4) (ENHANCED CURSES) Strings to program function keys can be specified as pfkey, pfloc, and pfx. A string to program screen labels should be specified as pln. Each of these strings takes two arguments: a function key identifier and a string to program it with. pfkey causes pressing the given key to be the same as the user typing the given string; pfloc causes the string to be executed by the terminal in local mode; and pfx causes the string to be transmitted to the computer.
terminfo(4) terminfo(4) (ENHANCED CURSES) If escape sequences and other special commands, such as tab, work while in the status line, the flag eslok can be given. A string which turns off the status line (or otherwise erases its contents) should be given as dsl. If the terminal has commands to save and restore the position of the cursor, give them as sc and rc. The status line is normally assumed to be the same width as the rest of the screen (that is, cols).
terminfo(4) terminfo(4) (ENHANCED CURSES) The Tektronix method uses a set of N predefined colors (usually 8) from which an application can select "current" foreground and background colors. Thus a terminal can support up to N colors mixed into N*N color-pairs to be displayed on the screen at the same time. • Hewlett-Packard-style In the HP method, the application cannot define the foreground independently of the background, or vice-versa. Instead, the application must define an entire color-pair at once.

terminfo(4) terminfo(4) (ENHANCED CURSES) Media copy strings which control an auxiliary printer connected to the terminal can be given as: mc0 Print the contents of the screen. mc4 Turn off the printer. mc5 Turn on the printer. When the printer is on, all text sent to the terminal will be sent to the printer. A variation, mc5p, takes one argument, and leaves the printer on for as many characters as the value of the argument, then turns the printer off. The argument should not exceed 255.
terminfo(4) terminfo(4) (ENHANCED CURSES) All printers are assumed to be capable of printing with a uniform horizontal and vertical resolution. The view of printing that terminfo currently presents is one of printing inside a uniform matrix: All characters are printed at fixed positions relative to each "cell" in the matrix; furthermore, each cell has the same size given by the smallest horizontal and vertical step sizes dictated by the resolution. (The cell size can be changed as will be seen later.

terminfo(4) terminfo(4) (ENHANCED CURSES) Two miscellaneous capabilities complete the list of motion capabilities. One of these is needed for printers that move the current position to the beginning of a line when certain control characters, such as line feed or form feed, are used. The other is used for the capability of suspending the motion that normally occurs after printing a character.

terminfo(4) terminfo(4) (ENHANCED CURSES) Note that most printer manufacturers advertise the maximum print rate, not the nominal print rate. A good way to get a value to put in for cps is to generate a few pages of text, count the number of printable characters, and then see how long it takes to print the text. Applications that use these values should recognize the variability in the print rate.
terminfo(4) terminfo(4) (ENHANCED CURSES) applications can use Curses to invoke those features, and can take advantages of optimizations within Curses and thus operate more efficiently. For most terminals, an optimal terminfo entry has already been written. EXTERNAL INFLUENCES Environment Variables CC Specifies a substitute character for a prototype command character. See cmdch in the Miscellaneous subsection of the Insert/Delete Line section.
ttys(4) ttys(4) NAME ttys - terminal control database file, for trusted systems SYNOPSIS /tcb/files/ttys DESCRIPTION The system supports a single terminal control database containing entries for each local terminal that can log into the system.
