10.0;rldev (release_device), revision 1.0, 87/10/20
rldev (release_device) - release device acquired with aqdev
usage:  rldev { unit-number | -all }



DESCRIPTION
     rldev releases one or more devices acquired by aqdev (acquire_device).
     This command is valid only if our General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO)
     software package is running on your node.

     NOTE:
          aqdev  invokes  a  new shell.  To  release a device acquired in this
          manner, type CTRL/Z, which causes the shell to stop and aqdev to
          release the device.

ARGUMENTS
     unit_number (optional)
                    Specify the unit number of the device to be released.
                    Default if omitted:  use -all below

OPTIONS
     -all           Release all devices acquired by the current process.

EXAMPLES
     Release device 0.

     $ rldev 0
     Device 0 released.
     $
