 6 Function:  manipulates selected reconfigurable entities in the current
 7 confinguration.  This command can be used only in ring 4.

10 Arguments:
11 function
12    specifies the function to be performed.  Can be one of the following
13    values:
14    add
15       adds selected reconfigurable entities to the current
16       configuration, making them available for use.
17    delete
18       deletes selected reconfigurable entities from the current
19       configuration, making them unavailable for use.
20 
21 
22 type
23    is one of the reconfigurable entities listed below under "List of
24    Reconfigurable Entities."
25 name
26    is the name of the item being reconfigured.  Examples of names are
27    given under "List of Reconfigurable Entities."
28 
29 
30 Control arguments:
31 -add_all_attachments
32    causes all reconfigurable entities which are newly accessible to be
33    added.  This control argument can be used with the add function
34    only.
35 -brief, -bf
36    does not print out a list of every item which is manipulated.  This
37    is the default.
38 -delete_all_attachments
39    causes all reconfigurable entities which will become inaccessible to
40    be deleted.  This control argument can be used with the delete
41    function only.
42 -long, -lg
43    prints out a list of every item which is manipulated.
44 
45 
46 List of reconfigurable entities:
47 channel, chan, chnl
48    a logical channel.  A channel's name is the name by which IOI knows
49    it (e.g., a9, b23).
50 cpu
51    A Central Processing Unit.  A processor's name is its tag as it
52    appears on a cpu card in the config deck (e.g., a, b).
53 device, dv prph
54    a peripheral device.  A device's name is the name by which RCP knows
55    it (e.g., tapa_03, dskb_13, fnpc opca).
56 iom
57    an Input/Ouput Multiplexer.  An IOM's name is its tag as it appears
58    on an iom card in the config deck (e.g., a.b).
59 
60 
61 link_adapter, la
62    a link adapter or physical channel.  This is a shorthand way of
63    specifying a collection of logical channels.  A link adapter's name
64    is the name of its lowest channel (e.g., b28).
65 mpc
66    a Microprogrammed Peripheral Controller.  This is a shorthand way of
67    specifying a collection of link adapters (and thus, a collection of
68    logical channels).  An MPC's name is its name as it appears on an
69    mpc card in the config deck (e.g., mspa, mtpb).
70 
71 
72 page
73    a page of memory.  A page's name is its number.  Pages are numbered
74    starting at 0.  Numbers may be given in any form acceptable to the
75    cv_interger_string_ function.  A range of pages may be specified
76    with an expression of the form <low>:<high>.  Pages to be removed
77    must reside within a single system controller.  When you delete all
78    of an SCU's pages, the SCU itself is not deleted.
79 scu, mem
80    a System Control Unit.  An SCU's name is its tag as it appears on a
81    mem card in the config deck (e.g., a, b).  When you delete all of an
82    SCU's pages, the SCU itself is not deleted.
