Garret,
I understand that it cab be somewhat late into the review process,
but I rather voice it now, than later.
Since there is new utility being created and there are no issues
with backward compatibility, - were any thoughts given to the name
"audioadm" vs "audioctl" ?
It seems that these days Solaris has many *adm tools, as opposed
to only a few *ctl.
raindrop:~$ ls /usr/man/man1*/*adm.1* | wc -l
66
raindrop:~$ ls /usr/man/man1*/*ctl.1* | wc -l
7
raindrop:~$
Wouldn't it be consistent to stick to this (*adm) pattern ?
And before you ask - no, I do not feel strongly about it - just an observation.
