INSTALL
(KMON)
Enters the device you specify into the monitor’s internal tables.
Format
INSTALL device[,device,...]
Parameter
device
Specifies the device or devices to be installed.
Description
The INSTALL command accepts no options.
The INSTALL command records a device handler in the monitor’s internal tables so
that the handler can be used.
Note, however, that RT–11 attempts to install all, up to 40 handlers, at bootstrap
time. So, use the INSTALL command if you put a handler on the system disk after
rebooting, or if you rename a handler on the system disk.
If you do an INSTALL of a handler that was not SYSGENed for the monitor, the
handler will not be installed. If the handler is installed, the INSTALL command
establishes all the information in the monitor internal tables that the monitor needs
to quickly reach that handler to load it into memory when the LOAD command or
the .FETCH programmed request is issued.
INSTALL puts into the monitor internal tables the location of the handler on disk,
its size, its name, its device type, and so on.
Using the INSTALL command does not change the monitor disk image; it only
modifies the system tables of the monitor that is currently in memory. The newly
installed device occupies the first available device slot in the system tables.
Device Handlers You Can Install
The INSTALL command only installs a device handler that meets the following
requirements:
• The SYSGENed characteristics of the handler and the SYSGENed characteristics
of the monitor match.
• Any other special requirements enforced by the installation code within the
handler are true.
Further, when you specify a device name with the INSTALL command, RT–11
searches the system volume for the appropriate corresponding device handler file.
