GETDEVPATH(8)          DragonFly System Manager's Manual         GETDEVPATH(8)

NAME
     getdevpath -- translate device partial or label to device path

SYNOPSIS
     getdevpath [-qr] devname ...

DESCRIPTION
     The getdevpath utility directly calls the getdevpath(3) function for each
     supplied device name, translating the device name to a device path.

     The -q option will generate just the translated output, one per line.  An
     empty line is generated if the device name could not be translated.

     The -r option will take the translated device name and do a further
     translation of it if it is a softlink, returning the contents of the
     softlink.

FILES
     getdevpath will search the /usr/local/etc/devtab, /etc/devtab, and
     /etc/defaults/devtab files for label translations.

EXAMPLES
     getdevpath da0

     getdevpath /dev/da0

     getdevpath serno:ABC123

     getdevpath MyDisk
