NAME

   lartcap - lart capability data base
    

SYNOPSIS

   lartcap
    

DESCRIPTION

   The Lartcap function is a simplified version of the termcap(5)
   database used to describe larts. The spooling system accesses the
   lartcap file every time it is used, allowing dynamic addition and
   deletion of larts. Each entry in the data base is used to describe
   one lart. This data base may not be substituted for, as is possible
   for termcap(5), because it may allow accounting to be bypassed.
   The default lart is normally /dev/lart0, though the environment
   variable LART may be used to override this. Each spooling utility
   supports an option, -Llart, to allow explicit naming of a lart.
   Refer to the Lart Spooler Manual for a complete discussion on how to
   setup the database for a given lart.
    

CAPABILITIES

   Refer to termcap(5) for a description of the file layout.
    

   Name Type Default Description
   af   str     NULL            name of accounting file
   ai   str     HCl             active ingredient for CHEMICAL larts
   am   num     400             amperage for an electric lart
   ck   num     1               How many pieces the luser will be left after
                                the lart is applied (chunkiness).
   hh   bool    false           defines the lart as hand held
   lo   str     lock            name of lock file
   la   str     /dev/lart0      device name to open for output
   lb   num     1000            Kilograms of TNT rating for explosive larts.
   mr   num     1000            Mortality rate. Number of lusers that normally
                                are killed by this lart, per 1000 lusers.
   mt   num     100             megatonnage rating for a nuclear lart. Note: as
                                currently implemented, this is in metric tons.
                                Also, this can have unintended side affects on
                                your working environment.
   mx   num     1000            maximum lart size (in BUFSIZ blocks),
                                zero = unlimited
   pm   str     100000          PPM for CHEMICAL larts
   ps   str     ELECTRIC        power source for the lart. Currently
                                implemented power supplies are: ADMIN,
                                ELECTRIC, PETROL, DIESEL, EXPLOSIVE, NUCLEAR,
                                CHEMICAL and OTHER
   nd   str     NULL            next directory for list of queues 
                                (unimplemented)
   of   str     NULL            name of lart filtering program
   rf   str     NULL            filter for larting FORTRAN lusers. Maintained
                                for backwards compatibility with MVS admins.
   rg   str     NULL            restricted group. Only members of group allowed
                                access
   rm   str     NULL            machine name for remote lart
   rs   bool    false           restrict remote admins to those with local
                                accounts
   rw   bool    false           open the lart device for interactive larting
   sc   bool    false           suppress multiple larts
   sd   str     /var/larts/lartd        spool directory
   st   str     status          status file name
   ti   str     NULL            default phrase to use before the luser is larted
   vo   num     100             number of liters to be used for PETROL, DIESEL
                                or CHEMICAL larts.
   vs   str     AC              voltage source, ps=ELECTRIC only. Valid options
                                are AC or DC. AC is recommended.
   vt   num     100000          voltage level for an electric lart
    

LOGGING

   Error messages generated by the lart programs themselves (that is, the
   lartd(8) and related programs) are logged by syslog(3) using the LART
   facility. Error messages sent to the console have a carriage return
   and a line feed appended to them, rather than just a line feed.


BUGS

   One should be careful with the defaults settings for most larts - they
   may cause severe unintentional damage to your power subsystems.
   Additional power supplies and capabilities need to be implemented to
   properly define all possible larts.
