Inserting An Entry

The following is an example of how to insert a calibrator module configuration entry into the OWconfig file. Sample user responses are enclosed in brackets ([]).

Example 3-2 Inserting A Calibrator Module Entry

ATTENTION: You must be root to update the OWconfig file.

Are you inserting an OWconfig entry? y/n

[y]

You will be asked to supply a name, a device type, and 
a kcsLoadableModule to create an entry such as the
following:  name = 'mydriver'
        kcmsCalDeviceType = 'monitor'
        kcmscCalLoadableModule = 'kcmscSUNWmydriver.so.1'
Please see the KCMS Calibrator Tool LOadable Interface Guide for 
information


The class for this entry will always be KCMS_CALIBRATE 
Enter the unique name of the device  

[mydriver]  

Enter the device type  - normally monitor  

[monitor]  

Enter the name of your dynamically loadable module.  

[kcmsSUNWmydriver.so.1]  

This is your OWconfig entry.  OK? y/n  

class = KCMS_CALIBRATE  name = mydriver 
kmcsCalDeviceType = monitor
kmcsCalLoadableModule = kcmsSUNWmydriver.so.1 
y  

Do you have more entries to create? y/n 
n

The OWconfig_calibrate program above appends the entry to the OWconfig file.

Try inserting the entry shown in the above example using the procedure outlined below:

1. Run the OWconfig_calibrate program. Be sure you are root.

   See "Updating the OWconfig File" .

2. Insert the user responses shown in Example 3-2 .

3. Check for the entry at the end of the OWconfig file.

   The new configuration entry is appended to the /usr/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig file. For local machine use only, the /etc/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig file is updated. If you inserted the entry with the user responses in Example 3-2 , the entry appears in OWconfig as shown below.

   Example 3-3 OWconfig Entry For Calibrator Loadable Module

   
   

   class="KCMS_CALIBRATE" name="mydriver"     kcmsCalDeviceType="monitor"    
   kcmsCalLoadableModule="kcmsSUNWmydriver.so.1";

Removing Entries

The following is an example of how to remove a configuration entry from the OWconfig file. Sample user responses are enclosed in brackets ([]).

Example 3-4 Removing A Calibrator Module Entry

ATTENTION: You must be root to update the OWconfig file.  

Are you inserting an OWconfig entry? y/n
[n] 
To remove an OWconfig entry:  

Enter the unique name for your driver for removal 
from the OWconfig file.  

[mydriver]  

This is the OWconfig entry to remove.  OK? y/n  

class = KCMS_CALIBRATE  name = mydriver 
[y]  

Do you have

more entries to remove? y/n 
[n]

The OWconfig_calibrate program removes the last entry in the OWconfig file.

Try removing the entry you inserted following Example 3-4 . Use the procedure outlined below:

1. Run the OWconfig_calibrate program again. Be sure you are root.

   See "Updating the OWconfig File" .

2. Fill in the user responses shown in Example 3-4 .

3. Check the OWconfig file.

   The entry should no longer appear at the end of the file.
