NAME
       mkdevmaps - make device_maps entries

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/mkdevmaps

DESCRIPTION
       The  mkdevmaps  command	writes to standard out a set of device_maps(4)
       entries describing the system's	frame  buffer,	audio,	and  removable
       media devices.

       The  mkdevmaps  command	is  used by the init.d(4) scripts to create or
       update the /etc/security/device_maps file.

       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/...
	 floppy		 /dev/diskette, /dev/fd*, /dev/rdiskette, /dev/rfd*
	 removable disk	 /dev/dsk/c0t?d0s?, /dev/rdsk/c0t?d0s?
	 frame buffer	 /dev/fb
