Commit the ndiscvt(8) utility too. (Missed it in the last import.)

Windows(r) drivers consist of two main +parts: a .SYS file, which contains the actual driver executable code, +and a .INF file, which provides the Windows(r) installer with device +identifier information and a list of driver-specific registry keys. +The +.Nm +utility can convert these files into a header file that is compiled +intoe +.Pa if_ndis.c +to create an object code module that can be linked into +the +.Fx +kernel. +.Pp +The .INF file is typically required since only it contains device +identification data such as PCI vendor and device IDs or PCMCIA +indentifier strings. The .INF file may be optionally omitted however, +in which case the +.Nm +utility will only perform the conversion of the .SYS file. This is +useful for debugging purposes only. +.Pp +.Sh OPTIONS +The options are as follows: +.Bl -tag -width indent +.It Op Fl i Ar <inffile> +Open and parse the specified .INF file when performing conversion. +The +.Nm +utility will parse this file and emit a device identification +structure and registry key configuration structures which will be +used by the +.Xr ndis 4 +driver and +.Xr ndisapi 9 +kernel subsystem. +If this is omitted, +.Nm +will emit a dummy configuration structure only. +.It Fl s Ar <sysfile> +Open and parse the specified .SYS file. This file must contain +a Windows(r) driver image. The +.Nm +utility will perform some manipulation of the sections within the +executable file to make runtime linking within the kernel a little +easier and then convert the image into a data array. +.It Op Fl o Ar <outfile> +Specify the output file in which to place the resulting data. This +can be any file pathname. If +.Ar <outfile> +is a single dash, the data will be written to the standard output. +The +.Pa if_ndis.c +module expects to find the driver data in a file called +.Pa ndis_driver_data.h , +so it is recommended that this name be used. +.El +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr ndis 4 , +.Xr ndisapi 9 +.Sh BUGS +Some Windows(r) drivers support multiple devices which each may +require sets of registry keys. The .INF file format allows all of +these devices to be supported in a single file. The +.Nm +utility will emit keys for all of the devices that it are specified +in a given file, even if this results in some duplicated entries. +.Sh HISTORY +The +.Nm +utility first appeared in +.Fx 5.3. +.Sh AUTHORS +The +.Nm +utility was written by +.An Bill Paul Aq wpaul@windriver.com . +The +.Xr lex 1 +and +.Xr yacc 1 +INF file parser was written by +.An Mathew Dodd Aq mdodd@freebsd.org . |
