NAME
      deallocate - device deallocation
 


SYNOPSIS
      deallocate [ -s ]  device
 
      deallocate [ -s ]  [ -F ]  device
 
      deallocate [ -s ]  -I
 


DESCRIPTION
      deallocate deallocates a device  allocated  to  the  evoking
      user.  device can be a device defined in  device_allocate(4)
      or one of the device special files associated with the  dev-
      ice.  It resets the ownership and the permission on all dev-
      ice special files  associated  with  device,  disabling  the
      user's  access to that device. This option can be used by an
      authorized user to remove access to the  device  by  another
      user. The required authorization is solaris.device.allocate.
 
      When deallocation or forced deallocation is  performed,  the
      appropriate  device  cleaning  program is executed, based on
      the  contents of  device_allocate(4).  These  cleaning  pro-
      grams are normally stored in /etc/security/lib.
 


OPTIONS
      device
            Deallocate the device associated with the device  spe-
            cial file specified by device.
 
      -s    Silent.  Suppress any diagnostic output.
 
      -F device
            Force deallocation of the device associated  with  the
            file  specified  by  device.  Only  a  user  with  the
            solaris.devices.revoke authorization is  permitted  to
            use this option.
 
      -I    Force deallocation of all allocatable devices.  Only a
            user  with the solaris.devices.revoke authorization is
            permitted to use this option. This option should  only
            be used at system initialization.
 


DIAGNOSTICS
      deallocate returns a non zero exit status in the event of an
      error.
