wtinit(1M)        MISC. REFERENCE MANUAL PAGES         wtinit(1M)



NAME
     wtinit - object downloader for the 5620 DMD terminal

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/layersys/wtinit [-d] [-p] file

DESCRIPTION
     The wtinit utility downloads the named file for execution in
     the AT&T 5620 DMD terminal connected to its standard output.
     file must be a DMD object file.  wtinit performs all  neces-
     sary  bootstrap  and  protocol  procedures.   There  are two
     options.

     -d   Prints out the sizes of the text, data,  and  bss  por-
          tions of the downloaded file on standard error.

     -p   Prints the down-loading protocol statistics and a trace
          on standard error.

     The environment variable JPATH is the analog of the  shell's
     PATH  variable  to  define  a set of directories in which to
     search for file.

     If the environment  variable  DMDLOAD  has  the  value  hex,
     wtinit  will  use  a hexadecimal download protocol that uses
     only printable characters.  Terminal  Feature  Packages  for
     specific  versions  of AT&T windowing terminals will include
     terminal-specific versions of wtinit under  those  installa-
     tion  sub-directories.  /usr/lib/layersys/wtinit is used for
     layers(1) initialization only when no Terminal Feature Pack-
     age is in use (i.e., the $DMD shell variable is not set).

DIAGNOSTICS
     Returns 0 upon successful completion, 1 otherwise.

WARNING
     Standard error should be redirected when using the -d or  -p
     options.
