mkdevmaps - make device_maps entries
/usr/sbin/mkdevmaps
The mkdevmaps command writes to standard out a set of device_maps(5) entries describing the system's frame buffer, audio, and removable media devices.
The mkdevmaps command is used by the device allocation service:
svc:/system/device/allocate:default
...to create or update the device_maps(5) file. The device allocation service is managed by smf(7) and described in device_allocate(8).
Entries are generated based on the device special files found in /dev. For the different categories of devices, the mkdevmaps command checks for the following files under /dev:
audio /dev/audio, /dev/audioctl, /dev/sound/... tape /dev/rst*, /dev/nrst*, /dev/rmt/... removable disk /dev/dsk/c0t?d0s?, /dev/rdsk/c0t?d0s? frame buffer /dev/fb
See attributes(7) for descriptions of the following attributes:

device_maps(5), attributes(7), smf(7), device_allocate(8)
mkdevmaps might not be supported in a future release of the Solaris operating system.
