NAME
     inty - install a new type

SYNOPSIS
     inty [options] type_name source_volume [-n node_spec]

DESCRIPTION
     inty installs a type from one node to another. It installs both the type
     name and type manager on the target node (given by the -n option).

     This command does not install trait-specific type managers, and does not
     install any type manager at all when you use the -rait option.


     type_name (required)
                    Specify the name of the type to be installed.

     source_volume (required)
                    Specify the pathname of the source volume from which to
                    copy the type name and type manager.

OPTIONS
     -n node_spec
               Specify the node on which the type is to be installed.  You may
               also specify the entry directory of a volume mounted for
               software installation, as shown in the example below. If this
               option is omitted, the type is installed on the current node.

     -l        List the results of the installation.

     -r        Replace any existing type name/manager pair.

     -t[rait]  Install a trait instead of a type.

     -f[ormat] Systems before SR10.1 did not support named traits. The first
               type you install a named trait on your system, you may see an
               error message showing that the types file has an older format.
               If you see that message, you must use the -format option to
               switch the types file to a newer version.

               The new (SR10.1) format is upwards compatible with the old
               format, and should not interfere with older nodes. Note,
               however, that older nodes may mistakenly see named traits as
               types.


EXAMPLES
     $ inty example_type //test_vol
     Type "example_type" installed.


     $ inty example_type //my_vol -n //test_vol -l
     Type "example_type" installed on volume //test_vol.
