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


NAME
       tcload - load terminal controller devices

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/tcload [-v] controller_node [...]
       /usr/sbin/tcload [-v] -a

DESCRIPTION
       The tcload command makes asynchronous terminal lines available for
       use by appropriately initializing and enabling the desired terminal
       controller devices.  For example, tcload may reset a device, download
       its resident controller code and start it executing along with any
       daemons which monitor and respond to events on the device.  The
       controllers to be loaded are specified by the controller_node
       arguments.

       Note that for the syac and spac devices, the tcload process does not
       terminate as in pre-5.4 revisions of DG/UX. It continues to run and
       react to events on the system's controllers.

       The following options are available:

       -v     Print verbose output about the loading process.

       -a     Locate and load all terminal controllers configured into the
              system; this is equivalent to running the command:

                      /usr/sbin/tcload /dev/async/ctrl/*\)

EXAMPLE
       tcload -v '/dev/async/ctrl/syac(vme(0),1)'

       This example loads the Systech VMEbus asynchronous terminal
       controller that is configured into the system at position 1 on VME
       channel 0.

       tcload -v '/dev/async/ctrl/spac(pci(0),F,0)'

       This example loads the Systech PCI bus asynchronous terminal
       controller that is configured into the system as device F on PCI bus
       channel 0.

       tcload -v '/dev/async/ctrl/cpac(pci(0),D,0)'

       This example loads the Computone PCI bus asynchronous terminal
       controller that is configured into the system as device D on PCI bus
       channel 0.
