DESCRIPTION

13       service_provider.conf  contains  information about the device type that
14       the service provider supports. This information includes  the  pathname
15       of  the service provider library, the library version and other library
16       characteristics that are required by the system administrative command,
17       datadm(1M). datadm(1M) puts this information in the DAT static register
18       file, dat.conf(4).
19
20
21       The datadm program enumerates each device entry into a list  of  inter‐
22       face  adapters, that is, interfaces to external network that are avail‐
23       able to uDAPL  consumers.  This  new  list  of  interface  adapters  is
24       appended to other service providers' information in the DAT static reg‐
25       istry, dat.conf. You can do this is you invoke the datadm program  with
26       the -a option and the pathname of the service_provider.conf file.
27
28
29       Each entry in the service_provider.conf is a single line of 7 fields.
30
31
32       The  following shows the order of the fields in a service_provider.conf
33       entry:
34
35         "driver_name" "API_version" "threadsafe_library | \
36               nonthreadsafe_library"\
37         "default_version | nondefault_version" \
38              "service_provider_library_pathname"\
39         "service_provider_version" "service_provider_instance_data"\
40
41
42
43       The fields are defined as follows:
44
45       driver_name
46
47           Specifies a driver name in the format  of  driver_name=value  pair,
48           for example, driver_name=tavor.
49
50
51       API_version
52
53           Specifies the API version of the service provide library: For exam‐

66           sion is designated as default with the rest as nondefault.
