NAME

dkconfig, dkstat − configure Datakit interface

SYNOPSIS

­dkconfig [ ­-d ­dev ] [ ­-n ­netname ] [ ­-c ­csc ­nlines ] [ ­-b ­baud ] [ ­-w ­window ] [ ­-ai ]

DESCRIPTION

­Dkconfig configures the device ­dev (default #h) as a Datakit link and gives it kernel id ­netname (default dk).  Any subsequent reference to the device #kname and its subdirectories refers to conversations multiplexed on this link. 

As a convenience, ­dkconfig performs a

bind("#kname", "/net", MBEFORE)

to make the dk device available to dial(2).

Option ­-c allows the common signalling channel, ­csc, and the number of Datakit lines, nlines, to be specified.

Option ­-w sets the window size to ­window, a decimal number of bytes.  This is most important on the Safari’s Incon interface which overflows if the window size is greater than 256. 

Option ­-i causes an incon device (default #i) to be configured as the Datakit connection. 

Option ­-a causes the a serial line (default /dev/eia0) to be configured as the Datakit connection.  The ­async line protocol is pushed onto the serial line’s stream to provide a multiplexed connection.
