Adds subtree of empty records to the configuration file.
Syntax
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
