NAME
      bdconfig - configures the bd (buttons and dials) stream
 


SYNOPSIS
      bdconfig [ startup ]  [ off ]  [ on ]  [ term ]  [ status  ]
      [ verbose ]
 


DESCRIPTION
      The bdconfig utility  is  responsible  for  configuring  the
      autopush  facility  and  defining  to the system what serial
      device to use for the bd stream.
 


OPTIONS
      If no  options  are  given,  then  an  interactive  mode  is
      assumed.  In this mode the current status is presented along
      with this usage line, and a series of interactive  questions
      asked to determine the user's desires.
 
      Root privilege is required to change the configuration.  The
      status  option does not require root privilege. bdconfig can
      be installed as a setuid root program.
 
      The non-interactive options below can be given in any order.
 
      term  Specify to the system the serial device for   bd  use.
            This  option  implies  the  on  option unless the  off
            option is present.
 
      iff   Reconfigure the configured term for tty use.
 
      on    Reconfigure the configured term for  bd use.  If  term
            has  not been previously specified,  interactive ques-
            tions are asked to determine  the user's desires.
 
      startup
            Configure as was last  configured  before  the  system
            went  down. This option is used by the startup script,
            and precludes the use of the
             on, off, and  term options. This option implies  non-
            interactive mode.
 
      status
            Emit the current configuration in terms of  the  words
            used  as  options:  off, on, /dev/term/a, /dev/term/b,
            and so forth.  This  option  implies  non  interactive
            mode.
 
      verbose
            bdconfig describes what it finds and what it is doing.

NOTES
      All  bdconfig  does  is  configure  the  AUTOPUSH  facility.
      bdconfig  does  not  actually  manipulate the serial port or
      stream in any way. Only  the  first  open  of  a  dismantled
      stream will see the effects of a previously run bdconfig.
 
      The bdconfig utility is silent  except  for  error  messages
      unless:
 
      a)    invoked with no args: status / usage line emitted
 
      b)    interactive modes are invoked as described above
 
      c)    the verbose option is used
 
 BUGS
      The interface does not support more than  one   dialbox  and
      one  buttonbox,  both  of  which must  be on the same serial
      device.
 
      There should be a library routine to read, parse, and  vali-
      date  records  in  the  iu.ap  file,  so that bdconfig could
      return to the appropriate record in  iu.ap  as  the  default
      configuration.
