devnm(C)


devnm -- identify device name

Syntax

/etc/devnm [ -d | -r ] [ name ... ]

Description

devnm prints the names of the special device files associated with the mounted filesystem names.

devnm takes the following options:


-d
Print the device number of the filesystem.

-r
Print the real device number of a block device.
bcheckrc(ADM) uses devnm to construct mount table entries for the root and boot devices.

idmkenv(ADM) uses the -d and -r options to determine if root and boot filesystems are separate.

If name is not specified, no action is performed.

Examples

Consider the following example:

/etc/devnm /u

If /dev/hd1 is mounted on /u, this produces the output:

   /dev/hd1 /u
