KMC(8) System Manager's Manual KMC(8)
NAME
kmc, kdiload, kmcdump - control KMC11 input/output processors
SYNOPSIS
/etc/kdiload [ dev [ file ] ]
/etc/kmcdump [ dev ]
DESCRIPTION
These commands control the KMC11-B microprocessors used for Datakit
protocol processing.
Kdiload resets KMC device dev, copies the microcode in file into the
KMC's memory, and starts the KMC. Dev may be a pathname or a single
character key identifying the KMC; the default is File defaults to that
specified in if a single character key is used, otherwise.
Kmcdump stops the KMC and copies its state into files in the working
directory. Dev may be a single character key or a pathname; the de-
fault is The KMC's memory is copied to the file core.k.nnn, where k is
the keyletter and nnn is some number; the state of the KMC's registers
and some trace information from Unix is written to regs.k.nnn.
These commands search the file for KMC devices and microcode files.
The file contains lines of three blank-separated fields:
single character identifying this KMC
full pathname of the KMC device file
full pathname of the microcode to be used in this KMC
The KMC with key K uses Datakit special files with names like
/dev/dk/dkK03. If there is only one KMC for Datakit, its key is If the
only KMC is the only Datakit interface in a machine, its key is and its
special files look like /dev/dk/dk03.

BUGS
For the moment, the only permissible keys are and The KMC and Datakit
filename conventions are arcane, and based on obsolete notions; they
should be replaced.
