12 Arguments:

14 is the name of the punch minor device which the command is
15 addressing. This argument is optional if there is only one punch
16 minor device, but is required otherwise.

18
19 control_mode
20 specifies the modes to be set. The mode name may be preceded by the
21 character "^" to reset the mode. This argument is optional. If not
22 given, the current modes for the specified minor device are printed.
23 The following mode is currently defined:
24 autopunch
25 this mode allows the driver to process punch requests
26 continuously without operator intervention. When this mode is
27 not set i.e. ^autopunch the driver will come to request
28 command level after printing the log message and wait for the
29 operator to give the "punch" command before continuing.

32 Control arguments:
33 -print
34 if control_mode is not given, or if this control argument is given
35 alone, the modes are printed.

38 Notes: The ^autopunch mode is normally used by a remote operator to
39 allow the output to be directed to a particular device based on
40 information in the log message. Once the proper device has been
41 assigned, the operator must type "punch" for the driver to continue
42 with the user's request.
