10.0;ensubs (enter_subsystem), revision 1.0, 88/01/21
ensubs (enter_subsystem) -- Enter a protected subsystem.
usage: ensubs subsystem_name



DESCRIPTION
     ensubs is used to enter a protected subsystem at shell command level.

     Once in the subsystem, the subs command can be used to create new
     managers for the subsystem or to seal data objects so that only managers
     of the subsystem can operate on them.  Also, subsystem managers can be
     debugged conveniently in this mode using debug, and protected data
     objects can be examined.  Note, however, that access to protected objects
     requires prior use of the subs -up command.

     The access control list on the file /sys/subsys/subsystem_name determines
     who can enter the subsystem subsystem_name: whoever has read and execute
     rights to it can enter the subsystem.  Usually, this capability should be
     restricted to the creators of the subsystem or to the system
     administrator.

ARGUMENTS
     subsystem_name (required)
                    Specify name of subsystem to be entered.  The shell
                    searches the directory /sys/subsys for the file specified.
