Compacts the Object Data Manager (ODM) database in the /var/spool/lpd/pio/@local/smit directory.
The piodmgr command extracts existing printer definitions from the ODM database in the /var/spool/lpd/pio/@local/smit directory, recreates the ODM database, compacts the database, and reloads the compacted database.
The -c and -h flags are mutually exclusive. The -h flag only compacts the database when the host name has been changed. The -c flag always compacts the database.
Note: Root user authority is needed to run this command.
