Dynamically Loadable Subsystems

Digital UNIX Version 4.0 introduces the ability to package, load, and manage kernel subsystems on Digital UNIX systems.

Instructions on how to write and package loadable device drivers so that they will install and execute on Digital UNIX Version 4.0 systems are discussed in the guide Writing Device Drivers: Tutorial. The Programmer's Guide explains how to write and package loadable kernel subsystems so that they too will install and execute on Digital UNIX Version 4.0 systems. The Programmer's Guide also discusses in some detail the framework that supports the dynamic configuration and tuning of kernel attributes.

You should refer to those guides for more specific information on how to write and package loadable drivers and kernel subsystems, as well as how to construct an attribute table.
