The -r option resets all the default mappings in a system. It is useful if the system configuration
has changed since the last boot.

The –u option adds mappings for newly installed devices and remove mappings for uninstalled
devices, but does not change the mappings of existing devices. The user-defined mappings are
also preserved. A mapping history is saved so that the original mapping name is used for a device
with a specific device path if that mapping name was used for that device path last time. The
current directory is also preserved if the current device is not changed.

Each device in the system has a consistent mapping. If the hardware configuration has not changed,
the device’s consistent mappings do not change. If two or more machines have the same hardware
configurations, the device’s consistent mapping is the same. Use the -c option to list all the
consistent mappings in the system.

The mapping consists of digits and characters. Other characters are illegal.

This command supports wild cards to delete or show mappings. However, when assigning the
mapping, wild cards are forbidden.

Example

To delete a mapping:

Shell> map -d devicename
