pack(1) -- compress and expand files
|
|
pack attempts to store the specified files in a compressed form. Wherever possible (and useful), each input file name is replaced by a packed file name.z with the same access modes, access and modified dates, and owner as those of name. The -f option will force packing of name. This is useful for causing an entire directory to be packed even if some of the files will not benefit. If pack is successful, name will be removed. Packed files can be restored to their original form using unpack or pcat... |

padc(1) -- process activity data collector
|
|
padc traces the activity of a process or group of processes and writes the raw event data to the standard output. System calls, scheduling actions, and disk i/o operations are activities that padc can trace. In addition to kernel-generated events, padc collects any events created by processes through the rtmon_log_user_tstamp(3) library routine. padc is normally invoked by the par(1) pr... |

papserver(1) -- spool files from network-connected Macintoshes
|
|
The papserver is a server which emulates a LaserWriter. It registers itself on the network as a Laserwriter, accepts print requests from Macintoshes and other machines, and spools them for printing. The papserver is an implementation of the server side of the AppleTalk Printer Access Protocol (PAP). It communicates with the LaserWriter driver on the Macintosh, and answers printer queries. It will collect and cache dictionaries, so they do not have to be retransmitted. The papserver will also par... |

papstatus(1) -- AppleTalk Printer Status program
|
|
The papstatus program checks the status of AppleTalk printers. The flags are defined as follows: -a look in all zones (default is the local zone) -p read the printer, type and zone parameters out of the /etc/printcap entry for name printer. -P look for printer with the name printer (default is LaserWriter) -T look as if it is the type of printer (default is LaserWriter) -Z tells papstatus to look in the zone zone (default is local zone) number specifies the maximum number of printers to check (d... |

par(1) -- process activity reporter / truss-like system call tracer
|
|
par is a system utility program that reports on system call and scheduling activity for one or more processes. par can be used to trace the activity of a single process, a related group of processes, or the system as a whole. See the EXAMPLES section near the end for some examples on how par is commonly used. When tracing system calls, par(1) prints a report showing all system calls made by the subject processes complete with arguments and retur... |

passmgmt(1) -- password files management
|
|
The passmgmt command updates information in the password files. This command works with both /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow. If there is no /etc/shadow, any changes made by passmgmt will only go into /etc/passwd. If the shadow file is not present, the -f and -e options have no effect, because the data fields they modify are not present in the base password file. passmgmt -a adds an entry for user name to the password files. passmgmt -a +na... |
|
dmedia/passthru(1) -- pass audio sample data from an input port to an output port
|
|
Passthru opens an audio input port and an output port, and connects them. Command line options allow the user to experiment with the various audio port parameters. -h help: print out a list of command line options and their descriptions -v verbose: output to stdout -n number of channels: 1 = mono, 2 = stereo -s sample format: 8, 16, or 24 bit -r sample rate: 48000, 44100, 32000, etc -b transfer blocksize: specify value in sample FRAMES -q queuesize for each of the two audio ports: specify value ... |
|
passwd(1) -- change login password and password attributes
|
|
The passwd command changes the password or lists password attributes associated with the user's login name. Additionally, super-users may use passwd to install or change passwords and attributes associated with any login name. Passwords for NIS entries that don't override the passwd field with a local value must be changed with yppasswd(1). When used to change a password, passwd prompts ordinary users for their old password, if any. It then prompts for the new password twice. The first time th... |
|
paste(1) -- merge same lines of several files or subsequent lines of one file
|
|
In the first two forms, paste concatenates corresponding lines of the given input files file1, file2, and so on. It treats each file as a column or columns of a table and pastes them together horizontally (parallel merging). If you will, it is the counterpart of cat(1) which concatenates vertically, that is, one file after the other. In the last form above, paste replaces the function of an older command with the same name by combining subsequent lines of t... |
|
patch(1) -- apply a diff file to an original
|
|
Patch will take a patch file containing any of the four forms of difference listing produced by the diff program and apply those differences to an original file, producing a patched version. By default, the patched version is put in place of the original, with the original file backed up to the same name with the extension ".orig" ("~" on systems that do not support long file names), or as specified by the -b, -B (--prefix), or -V (--version-control) options. The extension used for making ba... |
|
pathchk(1) -- check pathnames
|
|
pathchk checks that one or more pathnames are valid (that is, they could be used to access or create a file without causing syntax errors) and portable (that is, no filename truncation will result). More extensive portability checks are provided by the -p option. By default, the pathchk utility will check each component of each pathname operand based on the underlying file system. A diagnostic will be written for each pathname operand that: o is longer than PATH_MAX bytes o contains any co... |
|
pathconf(1) -- get configurable pathname variables (POSIX)
|
|
pathconf provides a shell interface to the pathconf(2) system call for determining the current value of a configurable limit or option (variable) that is associated with a file or directory. The name argument represents the variable to be queried. The list of supported variables can be obtained by invoking pathconf without any arguments. By default, the values pertain to the root file system (``/''), to query the values of a different file or dir... |
|
pax(1) -- portable archive exchange
|
|
Pax reads and writes archive files which conform to the Archive/Interchange File Format specified in IEEE Std. 1003.1-1988. Pax can also read, but not write, a number of other file formats in addition to those specified in the Archive/Interchange File Format description. Support for these traditional file formats, such as V7 tar and System V binary cpio format archives, is provided for backward compatibility and to maximize portability. Pax will also support traditional cpio and System V tar int... |

pciconfig(1) -- hot-plug insert, hot-plug remove, and query PCI devices
|
|
pciconfig is used to hot-plug insert a device into a PCI slot, hot-plug remove a device from a PCI slot, and query a slot on a PCI bus controlled by a bridge device. PCI Hot-Plug operations are executed while the system is running. A hot-plug insertion powers-up the PCI slot, determines the type of card installed, and calls the appropriate device driver to initialize the card and its software. Typically, after a successful hot-plug insertion, new device entries will be found in the hardware grap... |

peer_encaps(1) -- Simple Network Management Protocol Agent Encapsulator
|
|
peer_encaps is a daemon which provides a way to encapsulate proprietary SNMP agents, and an integrated environment for hosts that also run an off-the-shelf or custom, non-extensible SNMP Agent or proxy. The peer_snmpd(1m) daemon implements the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Since only a single SNMP Agent can be listening to the standard SNMP port (UDP port 161), this limits a Manager to access only variables associated with one agent. The peer_encaps daemon provides a mechanism to ov... |
