ISAPNP(8)

NAME
isapnp - Configure ISA Plug-and-Play devices.

SYNOPSIS
isapnp conffile

DESCRIPTION
isapnp will carry out the instructions provided in the conffile to configure ISA PnP cards. isapnp must read in the entire configuration file successfully before it will execute the commands: this is to ensure the instructions are consistent and valid.
The format of the configuration file is described in isapnp.conf(5).
In version 1.16 and later of isapnptools, isapnp checks resources are available as the devices are configured. If there is a conflict, a diagnostic message is given, and the program can be made to abort if required by placing the appropriate settings in the configuration file.
In version 1.18 and later of isapnptools, conffile may be '-', meaning read the configuration file from stdin.

ERRORS
If the configuration file cannot be opened, the program aborts immediately with a suitable message.
If an error occurs later, a message is printed to standard error in the form: file:lineno -- Warning/Fatal - message where

file
    The configuration file being read ('-') for stdin.

lineno
    The line number that the error occured at (or noticed).

Warning/Fatal
    Warning if the error was not serious and execution can continue, Fatal if the program cannot proceed.

message
    The error message, hopefully meaningful.
