Options/parameters	Description
-m	Include memory records for each PRM group in the generated PRM configuration
	file. Each group’s memory allocation is set to the same value.
-fbasepath	Specifies basepath as the path and base filename for the generated
	configuration files. The Security Containment configuration file will be named
	basepath.scp. The PRM configuration file will be named basepath.prm.
	The basepath.scp file must not already exist and cannot be in a directory that
	is owned by a user other than root or is writable by a user other than owner.

srpgen is an interactive tool. For information on its prompts, see the srpgen(1) manpage.
