- device deallocation
deallocate [-s] [-w] [-F] [-z zonename] [-c dev-class | -g dev-type | device]
deallocate [-s] [-w] [-F] [-z zonename] -I
The deallocate command frees an allocated device. It resets the ownership and permissions on all device special files associated with the device, disabling access to that device. deallocate runs the device cleaning program for that device as specified in device_allocate(4).
The default deallocate operation deallocates devices allocated to the user.
The following options are supported:
Deallocates all devices of the specified device class.
Forces deallocation of the device associated with the file specified by device. Only a user with the solaris.device.revoke authorization is permitted to use this option.
Forces deallocation of all allocatable devices. Only a user with the solaris.device.revoke authorization is permitted to use this option. This option should only be used at system initialization.
Silent. Suppresses any diagnostic output.
The following options are supported when the system is configured with Trusted Extensions:
