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


NAME
       synccheck - verify that the synchronous controller is operable

SYNOPSIS
       synccheck device

   where:
       device         The full pathname of the device to be checked.

DESCRIPTION
       Synccheck sends a command to the board resident software that
       verifies that the sync controller is operable.  The sync controller
       is considered to be operable if the board resident software has been
       downloaded and is capable of performing DMA operations across the VME
       bus.

       The only parameter for this command is the device name of the sync
       controller to be checked.

EXAMPLES
       The following example checks VSC controller 2:

       % synccheck /dev/ssid02

               synccheck: /dev/ssid02 is operable

DIAGNOSTICS
       A zero status will be returned if the command succeeds.  A non-zero
       return status will be returned if the sync controller is not
       operational.  In both cases, an informative message describing the
       operability of the controller will be written to standard error.
