ADDCONF
ADDCONF
Adds subtree of empty records to the configuration file.
Syntax ADDCONF pathname [type]
Parameters pathname The name of a path in the configuration file that
describes the location of the desired subtree. It is
composed of one to eight path identifiers separated by
periods. The format for the pathname is:
pathid.pathid.pathid...
The last pathid specified must not exist in the
configuration file. The second to last pathid must exist.
type A one to eight character path type identifier. This
identifier must match one of the selections on the “type
select” screen for the “pathname”. For example, the
type “LAN” is a valid choice for the path
“NETXPORT.NI.MYLAN”.
Description ADDCONF is used to add a tree of empty records to the configuration file.
It is used in conjunction with PATHCONF, WRITECONF, and UPDATECONF
to create and update configuration records. ADDCONF functions exactly
like the ADD function key on screens (like the NETXPORT.NI screen)
which allow you to select or create a configuration subtree, then take
you to the top screen for that subtree. Note that ADDCONF sets the
current record to the root node (named by the supplied pathname) of
the tree it creates. A PATHCONF command to modify this record
immediately after the ADDCONF is not required.
See also READCONF, READALLCONF, PURGECONF, VERSIONCONF,
WRITECONF, and UPDATECONF.
Example NMMGR> ADDCONF netxport.ni.newname lan
NMMGR> WRITECONF outbuf,256
NMMGR> UPDATECONF
