NAME
       setdirmode - set the directory mode

SYNOPSIS
       setdirmode [-q] {-r|-v}

DESCRIPTION
       This command is used to set the directory mode of the invoking
       process (that is, to change the mode of the process that forked and
       exec'ed this command, e.g., a shell).  This command will fail if the
       process is in real directory mode and tries to change to virtual
       directory mode while its current working directory is a MLD (parent
       directory of a multilevel directory structure).

   Options
       -q     Stop setdirmode from writing diagnostic messages.  The usage
              error is always written.

       -r     Set real mode.

       -v     Set virtual mode.

EXAMPLES
       $ su
       # setdirmode -r
       # getdirmode
       real
       # setdirmode -v
       # getdirmode
       virtual

SEE ALSO
       getdirmode(1), getmac(1), mkmldir(1M), dg_getdirmode(2),
       dg_setdirmode(2).

NOTES
       The invoking process must have appropriate privilege to set the
       directory mode.
