The svc_devices Script

The svc_devices script creates and removes SunVideo compatibility mode pseudo devices in /dev. The default location for the svc_devices script is /opt/SUNWo1kp/bin. The install script syntax is:

hostname% svc_devices install

The remove script syntax is:

hostname% svc_devices remove

Use svc_devices install to install SunVideo Compatibility mode pseudo devices. Use svc_devices remove to remove SunVideo pseudo devices from the /dev directory.

To select a SunVideo Plus card from a SunVideo application program, use the rtvc pseudo device name, typically /dev/rtvc0.

If you use pkgrm to remove the SunVideo Plus software, you do not need to first run the svc_devices remove script. The pkgrm script removes all pseudo devices.

If you move the SunVideo Plus card to a different slot, you must first run svc_devices remove and then run svc_devices install.
