wwconfig(8)
NAME
  wwconfig - Configures tty features for Asian countries

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/sbin/wwconfig [-a  | -A	| -d  | -D] [-n	 | -N] [-s  | -l]

OPTIONS
  -a  Merges worldwide support tty features into the system configuration
      file by prompting you to choose among options.

  -A  Merges all worldwide support tty features into the system configuration
      file. When you specify the -A option, you are not prompted to choose
      among options.

  -d  Deletes from the system configuration file only the worldwide support
      tty features that have been de-installed.

  -D  Deletes all worldwide support tty features from the system
      configuration file.

  -l  Dynamically links the Asian terminal driver into the kernel at boot
      time. (A kernel rebuild is not required when the driver is dynamically
      linked.) The -l option also specifies use of the STREAMS terminal
      driver with the pseudo terminal device used for network login. (If past
      use of wwconfig caused the BSD terminal driver to be used for this
      pseudo terminal device, then the -l option will cause a fallback to the
      STREAMS terminal driver.)

      The -l option is the default if the Asian terminal driver is not
      already installed. Otherwise, the default is for wwconfig to use the
      linking method that was used for the currently installed driver.

  -n  Does not rebuild the kernel.

  -N  Rebuilds the network kernel .vmunix for DMS support.

  -s  Statically links the Asian terminal driver into the kernel image. A
      kernel rebuild and replacement must then be done before the Asian
      terminal driver is available for use. This option also forces use of
      the BSD terminal driver with the pseudo terminal device used for
      network login.

DESCRIPTION
  The wwconfig procedure integrates worldwide support tty features into the
  running kernel or removes those features from the kernel.  Currently, you
  can configure a generic Asian multibyte tty driver (atty) and a single-byte
  Thai tty driver (ttty) into the running kernel.


  The Asian tty driver has several optional features that you can choose to
  set up.  Depending on which subsets are installed, the wwconfig procedure
  may ask questions on the following topics:

    ·  The UTX daemons to start and connect to the atty driver through the
       utxd daemon.

       You can choose to start the following UTX daemons:

       kkcd    To support the Kana-Kanji conversion method for Japanese

       odld    To support on-demand loading of user-defined characters

       simd    To support the phrase input method for Chinese

       Refer to kkcd(8), odld(8), and simd(8) for more information about
       these daemons.

    ·  For Chinese, whether BIG-5, Telecode (Telex), or both codesets are
       supported as valid terminal codes and whether codeset conversion
       support is included for Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

    ·  How many UTX pseudo devices to create

    ·  Whether the Thai tty driver, if installed, is set up in addition to
       the Asian tty driver

  As is true for kernel layered products, the wwconfig command uses the kreg
  utility to register the worldwide support tty features.  After the kernel
  configuration process completes, config.file in the /usr/i18n/sys/BINARY
  directory is updated to reflect the tty features that you selected.  The
  current system configuration file is also updated, if necessary.

  Because the tty features are registered through the kreg utility, you can
  use the doconfig command to build a new kernel without affecting the
  current setup for worldwide support tty features.
