NAME

remove_allocatable- Remove entries from allocation databases and delete ancillary file

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/remove_allocatable [-f] -n name

DESCRIPTION

remove_allocatable removes database entries for allocatable devices and certain non-allocatable devices and deletes an ancillary file used by the allocate(1M) command to control access to an allocatable device. remove_allocatable removes the device's entries from the device_allocate(4) and device_maps(4) databases, and it deletes the ancillary file in /etc/security/dev for the specified device.

OPTIONS

-f

Force the removal of an entry. remove_allocatable exits with an error if this option is not specified when an entry with the specified device name no longer exists.

-n name

Removes the entry for a device named name from the device_allocate and device_maps and deletes the ancillary file of that name in /etc/security/dev.

ERRORS

When successful, remove_allocatable returns an exit status of 0 (true). remove_allocatable returns a nonzero exit status in the event of an error. The exit codes are as follows:

1

Invocation syntax error

2

Unknown system error

3

Device name not found. This error occurs only when the -f option is not specified.

4

Permission denied. User does not have DAC or MAC access to database.
