Shows whether device files from specified filesets are honored by the Cache Manager
Synopsis
cm getdevok [-path {filename | directory_name}...] [-help]
Options
-path {filename | directory_name}
Names a file or directory from each fileset whose device file status information is to be displayed. If this option is
omitted, status information is displayed for the fileset containing the current working directory.
-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options specified with this option are ignored.
Description
The cm getdevok command reports whether the Cache Manager honors device files that reside in the indicated filesets. Indicate each fileset for which you
want device file status information by specifying the name of a file or directory in the fileset with the -path option. This information comes from the kernel of the workstation on which
the command is issued.
System administrators set whether device files are to be honored on a per-fileset and per-Cache Manager basis with the cm setdevok command. By default, the Cache Manager does not honor device files from a fileset. (The UNIX kernel always honors device files stored in the /dev directory.)
Privilege Required
No privileges are required.
Output
The cm getdevok command first displays the line
Fileset pathname status:
In the output, pathname is the name of a file or directory specified with the -path option. For each specified file or directory, the following output values are possible for the fileset on which it resides:
device files allowed
Indicates that device files from the fileset are honored.
device files not allowed
Indicates that device files from the fileset are not honored.
cm: the fileset on which 'pathname' resides does not exist
Indicates that the specified pathname is invalid.
Examples
The following command indicates that device files from the fileset that contains the directory /.../abc.com/fs/usr/jlw are not honored by the Cache Manager:
$ cm getdevok /.../abc.com/fs/usr/jlw
/.../abc.com/fs/user/jlw status: device files not allowed
