update-devfsd - recreate /etc/devfs/dir.conf and restart devfsd.
DESCRIPTION
This program creates a new
symlinks.list file (which lists all files containing sym-links), and a new
devices.list file (which lists all files containing details of devices to create) and then
restarts devfsd.
It should be run whenever a script or installation program
makes a change to a
devfsd config file. Also the administrator can run it because it's less typing than
"/etc/init.d/devfsd force-reload".
It takes a parameter "-n" if you want it to not cause a rescan of device
(just load a new config file), or a parameter of "-f" to force a restart of
the daemon (if you have installed a new version of a shared object).
Note that the
symlinks.list and
devices.list files are not created if there would be no valid content for them.
