NAME

update_drv– modify device driver attributes

SYNOPSIS

update_drv [-f] device_driver

DESCRIPTION

The update_drv command is used to inform the system about attribute changes to an installed device driver. By default, the system rereads the driver.conf(4) file and reloads the driver binary module.

OPTIONS

The following option is supported:

-f

Force the system to reread the driver.conf file even if the driver module cannot be unloaded.

EXIT STATUS

The following exit values are returned:

0

Successful completion.

>0

An error occurred.

ATTRIBUTES

See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

ATTRIBUTE TYPE	ATTRIBUTE VALUE
Availability	SUNWcsu

SEE ALSO

add_drv(1M), modunload(1M), driver.conf(4), attributes(5)

NOTES

A forced update of the driver.conf file reloads the driver.conf file without reloading the driver binary module. In this case, devices which can not be detached reference driver global properties from the old driver.conf file, while the remaining driver instances reference global properties in the new driver.conf file.
