   6 .TH SERVICE_PROVIDER.CONF 4 "Jun 18, 2004"
   7 .SH NAME
   8 service_provider.conf \- service provider configuration file
   9 .SH SYNOPSIS

  12 \fBservice_provider.conf\fR

  15 .SH DESCRIPTION
  16 .LP
  17 \fBservice_provider.conf\fR contains information about the device type that the
  18 service provider supports. This information includes the pathname of the
  19 service provider library, the library version and other library characteristics
  20 that are required by the system administrative command, \fBdatadm\fR(1M).
  21 \fBdatadm\fR(1M) puts this information in the DAT static register file,
  22 \fBdat.conf\fR(4).
  23 .sp
  24 .LP
  25 The \fBdatadm\fR program enumerates each device entry into a list of interface
  26 adapters, that is, interfaces to external network that are available to uDAPL
  27 consumers. This new list of interface adapters is appended to other service
  28 providers' information in the DAT static registry, \fBdat.conf\fR. You can do
  29 this if you invoke the \fBdatadm\fR program with the \fB-a\fR option and the
  30 pathname of the \fBservice_provider.conf\fR file.
  31 .sp
  32 .LP
  33 Each entry in the service_provider.conf is a single line of 7 fields.
  34 .sp
  35 .LP
  36 The following shows the order of the fields in a \fBservice_provider.conf\fR
  37 entry:
