16 The uadmin command provides control for basic administrative functions.
17 This command is tightly coupled to the system administration procedures
18 and is not intended for general use. It may be invoked only by the
19 super-user.
20
21
22 Both the cmd (command) and fcn (function) arguments are converted to
23 integers and passed to the uadmin system call. The optional mdep
24 (machine dependent) argument is only available for the cmd values of 1
25 (A_REBOOT), 2 (A_SHUTDOWN), or 5 (A_DUMP). For any other cmd value, no
26 mdep command-line argument is allowed.
27
28
29 When passing an mdep value that contains whitespaces, the string must
30 be grouped together as a single argument enclosed within quotes, for
31 example:
32
33 uadmin 1 1 "-s kernel/unix"
