VSYS(8) AFS Command Reference VSYS(8)NAMEvsys - Make AFS system calls from the command line
SYNOPSISvsys <call number> <parms>+
DESCRIPTIONvsys is a development tool to make AFS system calls from the command
line. <call number> is the AFS system call to be invoked. <parms>+
are the values to pass to the system call. Knowledge of the AFS system
call layer is required to know valid call numbers and parameters.
CAUTIONSvsys is intended for debugging AFS at a low level and is therefore
intended for AFS developers. System Administrators and AFS users
should use the higher-level interfaces provided by fs(1), aklog(1),
klog(1), and pagsh(1) instead.
vsys provides a way to pass arbitrary data into the AFS system call
mechanism. Caution should be taken when using or providing this binary
on a system, as incorrect use as a privileged user could cause a system
to panic, hang, or perform an unsafe operation.
PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The issuer must be logged in as the local superuser root.
