 3 Syntax as a command:  pun_control {minor_device} {control_mode}
 4    {-control_args}

 7 Function:  is used by remote drivers at normal command level to set the
 8 punch control modes.  This command does not apply to the central site
 9 punch driver.

12 Arguments:
13 minor_device
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.
17 
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.
30 
31 
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.

37 
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.
