utxd(8)
NAME
  utxd - Daemon that spawns service daemons used by the Asian terminal driver

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/sbin/utxd

DESCRIPTION
  The utxd daemon spawner acts as an agent for the Asian terminal driver
  (atty). The utxd daemon spawns other daemons that support special services
  required for Asian language input.  The service daemons include odld (which
  supports the SoftODL service), kkcd (which supports the Kana-Kanji
  conversion method), and simd (which supports the phrase input method).
  This software is available only when optional DIGITAL UNIX subsets with
  Asian country support are installed on the system.

  By using the select() system call, utxd waits for requests from the atty
  driver.  When a request to spawn a daemon for a particular service is
  received by utxd, it allocates a new utx device for use by the spawned
  daemon.  The newly created daemon then talks directly to the atty driver
  through the utx device.

  The utxd daemon looks up the location of requested service daemon by
  reading the /var/adm/utx/utxd.conf configuration file.

ERRORS
  By using the syslog() function, utxd sends error messages to the syslog
  files. Errors can include the following:

  no ports could be opened
      No utx device was free, so utxd was unable to open one for a requested
      service.

  select count error
      An error occurred when utxd executed the select() system call.

  can't alloc mem
      The utxd daemon could not allocate enough memory.

  send error
      An error occurred when utxd attempted to send a reply message.

  counter mismatch in receive 0
      A utxd internal error occurred.
