cdevsw_extra

Description

This parameter specifies an extra number of entries in the character device switch. This parameter is for use by loadable drivers only. If you configured a character device into the system at lboot(1M) time, you will not need to add extra entries to cdevsw.

Value

Default: 23

Range: 3-254

When to Change

Change this parameter when you have more than 23 character devices to load dynamically into the system. IRIX provides 23 spaces in the cdevsw by default.
