Using the ndd Utility in Noninteractive Mode

This section describes how to modify a parameter value and how to display a

parameter value using the ndd utility in noninteractive mode.

● To modify a parameter value, use the -set option.

If you invoke the ndd utility with the -set option, the utility will set the specified

device driver parameter to value:

For example, if you want to disable LANCE mode, you would type:

● To display the value of a parameter, specify the parameter name, omitting the

-set option.

When you omit the -set option (and omit the parameter value), the utility assumes

that you want to display the current parameter value.

For example, if you wanted view the link speed of the device, you would type:

In the preceding example, the link speed is set to 100 Mbps.

# ndd -set /dev/qfe parameter value

# ndd -set /dev/qfe lance_mode 0

# ndd /dev/qfe parameter

# ndd /dev/qfe link_speed
