NAME
Intro, intro - introduction to maintenance commands and
application programs
DESCRIPTION
This section describes, in alphabetical order, commands that
are used chiefly for system maintenance and administration
purposes.
Because of command restructuring for the Virtual File System
architecture, there are several instances of multiple manual
pages that begin with the same name. For example, the
mount, pages - mount(1M), mount_cachefs(1M), mount_hsfs(1M),
mount_nfs(1M), mount_tmpfs(1M), and mount_ufs(1M). In each
such case the first of the multiple pages describes the syn-
tax and options of the generic command, that is, those
options applicable to all FSTypes (file system types). The
succeeding pages describe the functionality of the FSType-
specific modules of the command. These pages list the com-
mand followed by an underscore ( _ ) and the FSType to which
they pertain. Note that the administrator should not attempt
to call these modules directly. The generic command provides
a common interface to all of them. Thus the FSType-specific
manual pages should not be viewed as describing distinct
commands, but rather as detailing those aspects of a command
that are specific to a particular FSType.
COMMAND SYNTAX
Unless otherwise noted, commands described in this section
accept options and other arguments according to the follow-
ing syntax:
name [option(s)] [cmdarg(s)]
where:
name The name of an executable file.
option
- noargletter(s) or,
- argletter<>optarg
where <> is optional white space.
noargletter
A single letter representing an option without an
argument.
argletter
A single letter representing an option requiring
an argument.
optarg
Argument (character string) satisfying preceding
argletter.
cmdarg
Pathname (or other command argument) not begin-
ning with - or, - by itself indicating the stan-
dard input.
ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for a discussion of the attributes listed
in this section.
SEE ALSO
getopt(1), getopt(3C), attributes(5)
DIAGNOSTICS
Upon termination, each command returns 0 for normal termina-
tion and non-zero to indicate troubles such as erroneous
parameters, bad or inaccessible data, or other inability to
cope with the task at hand. It is called variously ``exit
code,'' ``exit status,'' or ``return code,'' and is
described only where special conventions are involved.
NOTES
Unfortunately, not all commands adhere to the standard syn-
tax.
