DKCONFIG(8) DKCONFIG(8)
NAME
dkconfig - configure Datakit interface
SYNOPSIS
dkconfig [ -d dev ] [ -n netname ] [ -c csc nlines ] [ -b
baud ] [ -w window ] [ -ai ]
DESCRIPTION
Dkconfig configures the device dev (default #h) as a Datakit
link and gives it kernel id netname (default dk). Any sub-
sequent reference to the device #kname and its subdirecto-
ries refers to conversations multiplexed on this link.
As a convenience, dkconfig performs a
bind("#kname", "/net", MBEFORE)
to make the dk device available to dial(2).
Option -c allows the common signaling channel, csc, and the
number of Datakit lines, nlines, to be specified.
Option -w sets the window size to window, a decimal number
of bytes. This is most important on the PC's Incon inter-
face, which overflows if the window size is greater than
256.
Option -i causes an Incon device (default #i) to be config-
ured as the Datakit connection.
Option -a causes the a serial line (default /dev/eia0) to be
configured as the Datakit connection. The async line proto-
col is pushed onto the serial line's stream to provide a
multiplexed connection.
