On invocation, it will wake up the specified Mediabay device that was powered down by sleep. Waking up the device involves sending an IOCTL to the device to force it to check for a media change, thus revalidating the device info. Newer kernels do this internally so .Nm wakebay should only be needed on old kernel versions. .Sh BUGS AND CHANGE REQUESTS Please email your bug reports or change requests to \fB\fP. .Sh FILES .nf /dev/ .fi .Sh AUTHORS Joseph Palani Garcia .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr pmud(8)
