DEVICE_CLEAN(5)DEVICE_CLEAN(5)NAMEdevice_clean - device clean programs
DESCRIPTION
Each allocatable device has a device clean program associated with it.
Device clean programs are invoked by deallocate(1) to clean device
states, registers, and any residual information in the device before
the device is allocated to a user. Such cleaning is required by the
object reuse policy.
Use list_devices(1) to obtain the names and types of allocatable
devices as well as the cleaning program and the authorizations that are
associated with each device.
On a system configured with Trusted Extensions, device clean programs
are also invoked by allocate(1), in which case the program can option‐
ally mount appropriate media for the caller.
The following device clean programs reside in /etc/security/lib.
audio_clean
audio devices
fd_clean
floppy devices
st_clean
tape devices
sr_clean
CD-ROM devices
On a system configured with Trusted Extensions, the following addi‐
tional cleaning programs and wrappers are available.
disk_clean
floppy, CD-ROM, and other removable media
devices. This program mounts the device during
the execution of allocate, if required.
audio_clean_wrapper
wrapper to make audio_clean work with CDE
wdwwrapper
wrapper to make other cleaning programs work
with CDE
wdwmsg
CDE dialog boxes for cleaning programs
Administrators can create device clean programs for their sites. These
programs must adhere to the syntax described below.
/etc/security/lib/device-clean-program [−i | −f | −s | −I] \
−m mode −u user-name −z zone-name −p zone-path device-name
where:
device-name
The name of the device that is to be cleaned. Use
list_devices to obtain the list of allocatable devices.
-i
Invoke boot-time initialization.
-f
Force cleanup by the administrator.
-s
Invoke standard cleanup by the user.
-I
Same as -i, with no error or warning.
The following options are supported only when the system is configured
with Trusted Extensions.
-m mode
Specify the mode in which the clean program is invoked.
Valid values are allo- cate and deallocate. The default
mode is allocate.
-u user-name
Specify the name of user who executes the device clean
program. The default user is the caller.
-z zone-name
Specify the name of the zone in which the device is to
be allocated or deallocated. The default zone is the
global zone.
-p zone-path
Establish the root path of the zone that is specified
by zone-name. Default is "/".
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0
Successful completion.
1
An error. Caller can place device in error state.
2
A system error. Caller can place device in error state.
On a system configured with Trusted Extensions, the following addi‐
tional exit values are returned:
3
Mounting of device failed. Caller shall not place device in error
state.
4
Mounting of device succeeded.
