ADDCONF 

Adds subtree of empty records to the configuration file.

Syntax 

ADDCONF pathname [type]

Parameters 

pathname              The name of a path in the configuration file that
                      describes the location of the desired subtree.  It
                      is composed of one to eight path identifiers
                      separated by periods.  The format for the pathname
                      is:

                      pathid.pathid.pathid...

                      The last pathid specified must not exist in the
                      configuration file.  The second to last pathid must
                      exist.

type                  A one to eight character path type identifier.
                      This identifier must match one of the selections on
                      the "type select" screen for the "pathname".  For
                      example, the type "LAN" is a valid choice for the
                      path "NETXPORT.NI.MYLAN".

Description 

ADDCONF is used to add a tree of empty records to the configuration file.
It is used in conjunction with PATHCONF, WRITECONF, and UPDATECONF to
create and update configuration records.  ADDCONF functions exactly like
the ADD function key on screens (like the NETXPORT.NI screen) which allow
you to select or create a configuration subtree, then take you to the top
screen for that subtree.  Note that ADDCONF sets the current record to
the root node (named by the supplied pathname) of the tree it creates.  A
PATHCONF command to modify this record immediately after the ADDCONF is
not required.

See also READCONF, READALLCONF, PURGECONF, VERSIONCONF, WRITECONF, and
UPDATECONF.

Example 

     NMMGR>ADDCONF netxport.ni.newname lan
     NMMGR>WRITECONF outbuf,256
     NMMGR>UPDATECONF
