SYNOPSISdeallocate [-s] [-w] [-F] [-z zonename]
[-c dev-class | -g dev-type | device]
deallocate [-s] [-w] [-F] [-z zonename] -I
DESCRIPTION
The deallocate command frees an allocated device. It resets the owner‐
ship 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.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-c dev-class Deallocates all devices of the specified device class.
-F device 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.
-I 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.
-s Silent. Suppresses any diagnostic output.
The following options are supported when the system is configured with
Trusted Extensions:
-g dev-type Deallocates a device of device type matching dev-type.
-w Runs the device cleaning program in a windowing environ‐
ment. If a windowing version of the program exists, it
is used. Otherwise, the standard version is run in a
terminal window.
-z zonename Deallocates device from the zone specified by zonename.
