probedev(1M)                   DG/UX R4.11MU05                  probedev(1M)


NAME
       probedev - probe system for devices

SYNOPSIS
       probedev [ -f device-table-file ]

   where:
       device-table-file   Table of device names for which to probe.

DESCRIPTION
       The probedev command probes the system for any of the devices listed
       in the device-table-file.  Any device which is currently configured,
       or which can be successfully configured, is written to standard
       output.

       Devices can be configured only if the device driver for the device is
       configured into the currently-running kernel.

       Options are:

       -f     Read device names from device-table-file.  The default is
              /usr/etc/probedevtab.

FILES
       /usr/etc/probedevtab      Default table of possible device names.

DIAGNOSTICS
       The probedev command exits with one of the following exit codes:

        0     The command completed successfully.

        1     The command failed due to a missing device-table-file.

        2     The command failed because the user does not have appropriate
              privilege.

        3     The command failed due to an error in the command line.

       appropriate_privilege(5).
       cap_defaults(5).

NOTE
       Devices which are installed at non-standard addresses will not be
       found by probedev.

       You must have appropriate privilege to use this command.  For systems
       supporting the DG/UX Capability Option, appropriate privilege is
       defined as having one or more specific capabilities enabled in the
       effective capability set of the user.  See cap_defaults(5) for the
       default capabilities for this command.

       On systems without the DG/UX Capability Option, appropriate privilege
       means that your process has an effective UID of root.  See the
       appropriate_privilege(5) man page for more information.
