WSMUXCTL(8) BSD System Manager's Manual WSMUXCTL(8)NAME
wsmuxctl -- configure wsmuxes
SYNOPSIS
wsmuxctl [-a dev] -f ctldev [-l] [-L] [-r dev]
DESCRIPTION
The wsmuxctl allows to adding and removing devices connected to a wsmux(4).
Added and removed devices are specified by a name, not a path name. Simply use wsmouseN, wskbdN, or wsmuxN where N is the number of the
device.
The options are:
-a dev Add the specified device to the mux.
-f ctldev Specify the control device of the wsmux to operate on. A number may be given, which is then taken to be the number of the mux.
-l List all devices connected to a mux.
-L List all devices connected to a mux and recursively list mux subdevices.
-r dev Remove the specified device from the mux.

wsmux -- console keyboard/mouse multiplexor for wscons
SYNOPSIS
wskbd* at ... mux 1
wsmouse* at ... mux 0
pseudo-device wsmux
DESCRIPTION
The wsmux is a pseudo-device driver that allows several wscons(4) input devices to have their events multiplexed into one stream.
The typical usage for this device is to have two multiplexors, one for mouse events and one for keyboard events. All wsmouse(4) devices
should direct their events to the mouse mux (normally 0) and all keyboard devices, except the console, should direct their events to the key-
board mux (normally 1). A device will send its events to the mux indicated by the mux locator. If none is given the device will not use a
multiplexor. The keyboard multiplexor should be connected to the display, using the wsconscfg(8) command. It will then receive all key-
strokes from all keyboards and, furthermore, keyboards can be dynamically attached and detached without further user interaction. In a simi-
lar way, the window system will open the mouse multiplexor and receive all mouse events; mice can also be dynamically attached and detached.
If a wskbd(4) or wsmouse(4) device is opened despite having a mux it will be detached from the mux.
It is also possible to inject events into a multiplexor from a user program.
FILES
For each mux device, /dev/wsmuxN there is a control device /dev/wsmuxctlN. The control device has a minor number 128 greater than the regu-
lar mux device. It can be used to control the mux even when it is open, e.g., by wsmuxctl(8).

I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:

sort -nr --key=1 ....

Suppose I have a main() function with only one malloc statement allocating say some 1 gb memory. Also say my system has 1 gb of ram.
main()
{
malloc(1gb)
return(0)
}
The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)

Hey All,
Quick question...
I'm writing a short script to check if a continuous port is running on a server.
I'm using "ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep processName" and I was wondering if it was better/more reliable to just check the
return code from the command or if its better to pipe to... (12 Replies)
I installed NetBSD 6.1.2 amd64 and can't find the apm utility. Is it not in the base system?
Is it necessary to recompile the default amd64 kernel to use apm?
Or is there a new method for power management and suspend/resume? (2 Replies)
Hi,
I am learning shell scripting for the first time. I use AT&T Korn Shell, Version AJM 93u+ 2012-08-01, compiled from source on NetBSD.
So far I have managed to set up what I think is a useful and pleasing shell prompt, which can be seen in the image attached to this post.
The prompt is... (2 Replies)
Hey gang, I have a list of times I need to sum up. This list can vary from a few to a few thousand entries.

Usually when I on the evening go to bed I take some interesting book with me. I read it for a while to get me down to sleep. Probably most people seek information from the Nett by googleing but I am so oldfashioned I prefer a real book ;)
