NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       cdmntsuppl - Sets and gets administrative CD-ROM features

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       To  get  current  settings  for  features  on  the mounted
       CD-ROM: /usr/sbin/cdmntsuppl mount_point

       To set features for files  and  directories  that  have  a
       restricted  final  Extended  Attribute  Record (XAR) or no
       final XAR: /usr/sbin/cdmntsuppl [-u owner] [-g group]  [-F
       mode] [-D mode] [-c  | [-l] [-m]] mount_point

       To  set  features  for  files and directories that have an
       unrestricted XAR:  /usr/sbin/cdmntsuppl  [-U  umfile]  [-G
       gmfile] [-c  | [-l] [-m]] [-x  | -s] mount_point

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Causes names to be handled as recorded on the CD-ROM; that
       is, no conversion takes place. This is the default  behavior.
 The -c option undoes the conversions performed by the
       -l and -m options.  Sets the default read and search  permissions
  for  directories.   The  permissions are changed
       according to mode, which may be  expressed  (as  with  the
       chmod command) either octally or symbolically.

              Octal  mode consists of a 4-digit octal number constructed
 from the sum (logical-OR) of  the  following:


              0400   read by owner
              0100   execute by owner
              0040   read by group
              0010   execute by group
              0004   read by others
              0001   execute by others

              Symbolic mode is expressed using the following syntax:
 [a | ugo] { + | - | = } [r | x]

              Represents all users (user, group, other).   Represents
  user,  group, and other, respectively. Omitting
 all of these parameters is the same as  specifying
  all of them.  Specifies adding, removing, or
              assigning permission absolutely.   Note  that  when
              you  assign  permission  absolutely, all other bits
              are  reset.   Specifies  the  type  of  permission,
              either  read  or  execute.  Note that omitting this
              option is useful only when using the  =  option  to
              remove all permissions.

              The  -D  option  is  used for files and directories
              that have a restricted or no final XAR  and  therefore
  cannot  be  used  with  the -G, -s, -U, or -x
              options.  Sets the default read and execute permissions
  for  files.  This option takes the same mode
              and has the same restrictions  as  the  -D  option.
              Changes the GID of a file or directory. The entries
              in the file specified by the gmfile  argument  must
              conform      to      the      following     syntax:
              GID_on_CD-ROM:{New_GID|Group_Name}

              If there is more than one mapping entry, each entry
              must  be  separated by a newline.  The total number
              of mapping  entries  that  gmfile  can  contain  is
              defined  in  <cdfs/xcdr.h>, an include file that is
              called into <sys/cdrom.h>.  Sets the group  permissions
 of files and directories.

              The  group parameter can be either a decimal GID or
              a group name found in the Group Database.

              The -g option applies only to files and directories
              with  a  restricted  or  no final XAR and therefore
              cannot be used with the G,  s,  U,  or  x  options.
              Converts  uppercase characters to lowercase. If the
              File Identifier contains no  File  Name  Extension,
              SEPARATOR 1, a dot (.), is not represented.  Causes
              the Version Number and SEPARATOR 2 of a File  Identifier,
  a  semi-colon  (;), not to be represented.
              Sets each execute (search)  permission  bit  for  a
              directory  in  the XSI file hierarchy to the inclusive
 OR  of  the  corresponding  read  and  execute
              (search)  bits  in the XAR of that directory on the
              CD-ROM.

              The -s option cannot be specified with the -D,  -F,
              -g, -u, or -x option.  Changes the UID of a file or
              directory. The mapping entries in the  file  specified
  by  the  umfile  argument must conform to the
              following syntax: UID_on_CD-ROM:{New_UID|User_Name}

              If there is more than one mapping entry, each entry
              must be separated by a newline.  The  total  number
              of  entries  that  umfile can contain is defined in
              <cdfs/xcdr.h>, an include file that is called  into
              <sys/cdrom.h>.

              Because  the  -U  option  applies only to files and
              directories with an unrestricted XAR,  this  option
              cannot  be  used with the -D, -F, -g, or -u option.
              Sets the owner of files and directories.

              The owner parameter can be either a decimal UID  or
              a login name found in the User Database.

              Because  the  -u  option  applies only to files and
              directories with a restricted or no final XAR, this
              option  cannot  be  used with the -G, -s, -U, or -x
              option.  Sets execute (search) permission bits  for
              directories within the CD-ROM file system hierarchy
              as provided in the Permissions field in the XAR  of
              that directory.

              The  -x  option cannot be used with the -D, -F, -g,
              -s, or -u option.

OPERANDS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Specifies the mount point of the CD-ROM file system  being
       accessed.








DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  cdmntsuppl command sets up administrative CD-ROM features,
 such as default ownership and  access  permissions,
       mapping  of user and group identifications, conversions of
       file names, and the setting  of  execute  permissions  for
       directories.

       Setting  CD-ROM  features  is restricted to users with the
       appropriate privileges. Note that you must be superuser to
       change  administrative  features; to read the current settings,
 you must have read permission on the mount point of
       the  selected CD-ROM file system. This command is intended
       to be used to  set  CD-ROM  features  directly  after  the
       CD-ROM is mounted and before its files and directories are
       accessed. Attempting to use this function  to  set  CD-ROM
       features  after  files  or  directories on the CD-ROM have
       been accessed may produce unpredictable results.

       Executing the command with no options  lists  the  current
       settings on the mounted CD-ROM.

       When the command includes options to set features, the new
       setting is echoed to the screen if the  command  completes
       successfully.  The  command's  options  are designed to be
       used in specific combinations, as described in the following
  list:  The -l and -m options perform name conversions
       of File and Directory Identifiers on a CD-ROM,  which  can
       be undone with the -c option. Note that whereas the -l and
       -m options can be used together, the -c must be used  only
       by  itself,  since it undoes the conversions the other two
       perform.  The -u, -g, -F, and -D options set  the  default
       owner,  group,  and  access  permissions for the files and
       directories  that  have  a   restricted   final   Extended
       Attribute  Record  (XAR)  or  no final XAR.  The -U and -G
       options are used to change user and group ownership  on  a
       CD-ROM file system with an unrestricted XAR. Note that the
       ISO 9660 standard does not permit a UID or GID of zero  to
       appear  in  an unrestricted XAR. Placing a zero value in a
       UID or GID of an unrestricted XAR  may  result  in  unpredictable
 behavior.  The -x and -s options, which are mutually
 exclusive, set the execute (search)  permissions  for
       those directories in the CD-ROM file system hierarchy that
       have a unrestricted final XAR.

EXIT STATUS    [Toc]    [Back]

       The cdmntsuppl command returns the following exit  values:
       The command was successful.  The named mount_point was not
       found or was not within the CD-ROM  hierarchy,  or  access
       permission  was  denied.  The mount() system call that was
       executed by the command returned an error.  One  cause  of
       this  error  is that the user did not have the appropriate
       privileges to perform the mount operation.  Too many  mappings.
   Parameter error or bad format in the mapping file
       (file specified by the umfile or gmfile parameters).
