NAME

editsa - add/delete entry from software application file

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/editsa -i slot HWNAME SWNAME

/usr/sbin/editsa -r SWNAME

/usr/sbin/editsa -l

DESCRIPTION

The editsa command is used to add, delete or list entries in the software application file, /dgn/.edt_swapp. It is primarily used in application installation scripts to modify the software application file. This file allows a software driver, SWNAME, to be associated with a specific board in a specific AT&T 3B2 Computer expansion slot. The file /dgn/.edt_swapp is a data base which is read by the firmware program filledt to update the name field for designated Equipped Device Table (EDT) entries. editsa performs various checks to ensure the request will result in a valid system configuration.

The valid uses of editsa are as shown  above  and  an  error
will  be  returned  if not properly entered.  The option and
argument definitions are as follows:

-i Specifies that the corresponding entry should be added to the software application file.

slot The slot entry in the EDT for which the board, HWNAME, is to be replaced by the argument specified as SWNAME.

HWNAME The name of the hardware device (e.g. PORTS, ISC, NI) for which the EDT entry is being renamed.

SWNAME The name of the driver which is being dynamically assigned to a hardware device or removed as a valid entry in the software application file.

-r All entries which match the SWNAME specified in the command line will be removed from the software application file.

-l Prints a formatted display of the software application file.
