WARNINGS
insf can change the mode, owner, or group of an existing special file, or unlink and recreate one; special
files that are currently open may be left in an indeterminate state. Hence
insf is recommended to be run
in single-user mode.
Many commands and subsystems assume their device files are in
/dev, therefore the use of the -D option
is discouraged.
AUTHOR
insf was developed by HP.
FILES
/dev/config I/O system special file
/etc/ioconfig
I/O system configuration database
