NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       sizer  -  Displays information about the system or kernel,
       or creates a system configuration file

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       /usr/sbin/sizer [-atm] [-b] [-c]  [-gr]  [-gt]  [-implver]
       [-l]  [-m]  [-M]  [-nfilename]  [-p]  [-pr] [-P] [-r] [-v]
       [-wc] [-wk] [-wp] [-wt] [-wu]

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Indicates whether  an  ATM  (Asynchronous  Transfer  Mode)
       adapter  is  present.   Displays the name of the file from
       which the running kernel was  booted.   Displays  the  CPU
       type of the running CPU.  Displays an ASCII string (terminated
 by a line feed) that specifies the size, in  pixels,
       for  each  graphics screen that exists in the system.  The
       information is displayed in the following format: width  x
       height.   For  example,  1280x1024  specifies  the default
       graphics screen on a DEC 3000 Model 500 system.  The resolutions
  of  all  the  existing screens are displayed on a
       single line in the same order as the ROM ID  strings  that
       are  displayed  by the -gt option.  If no screens exist in
       the system, then 0x0 is displayed.  Displays an ASCII  ROM
       ID  string  (terminated  by a line feed) for each graphics
       screen that exists in the system.  The ROM ID string identifies
  the graphics controller for the screen.  Some controllers
 can manage more  than  one  physical  or  logical
       screen.  If there are no screens in the system, then nothing
 is returned.  Displays the family name  to  which  the
       processor  belongs.  This  can  be  EV4, EV5, EV6, or EV7.
       Displays the option for the small-memory system, or  zero.
       Displays  the running kernel's module list, if that kernel
       was linked at boot time. The information  displayed  is  a
       space-separated  list  detailing  the exact linker options
       and module names used to bootstrap link the  running  kernel.
   If the running kernel is a statically linked image,
       sizer displays an empty string.   Displays  the  names  of
       foreign  kits  that were linked into the running kernel at
       boot time, including the name of  the  device  from  which
       they  were loaded. The device name is the one known to the
       console.  (For example, on a DEC 3000 system,  the  device
       name for a CD-ROM device is dka400). If the running kernel
       is a statically linked  image,  sizer  displays  an  empty
       string.  Creates a configuration file.  The -n option creates
 a configuration file in  /tmp/filename  and  a  shell
       script  named /tmp/filename.devs that runs MAKEDEV to create
 devices such as Lcam. The system should be running the
       /genvmunix  generic  kernel  to  ensure  that all required
       devices and options are available. Note that disk and tape
       device special files are created using dsfmgr(8).

                                     Note

              You  should  run  doconfig  to  build a new kernel.
              Displays the number of  available  CPUs.   Displays
              the  number  of  CPUs that are currently running on
              the system.  Provides information on logical partitions.
  Displays the name of the root device.  Displays
 the operating system  version  string.   Displays
 the type of workstation console.  This number
              indicates whether a graphics head was chosen as the
              system  console at boot time, or whether the alternate
 (serial interface) console was chosen.   If  a
              graphics console was chosen, a zero (0) is returned
              to standard output.  If an  alternate  console  was
              chosen,  a  one (1) is returned to standard output.
              Displays an ASCII string that identifies the  workstation
  keyboard if one exists in the system.  For
              example, LK401 specifies the  default  keyboard  on
              the  DEC  3000 Model 500 system.  Displays an ASCII
              string that identifies the workstation  pointer  if
              one  exists  in  the  system.  For example, VSXXXAA
              specifies the mouse on a DEC 3000 Model 500 system.
              Displays  the  type  of  workstation display.  This
              number specifies each byte, which indicates a  type
              of  display,  with  one byte used for each display.
              The limit is zero to four displays.   Displays  the
              workstation  display  units.  This number specifies
              the "on" bits, which  indicate  the  display  units
              that  exist on the system.  For example, the return
              number 1 indicates that  one  display  exists,  the
              return  number 3 indicates that two displays exist,
              the return number 7 indicates that  three  displays
              exist,  and  the  return number 15 indicates that 4
              displays exist.  The limit is  zero  to  four  displays.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  sizer  program  reports information about the running
       system, including the name of the kernel file.  This  program
 is also used by the doconfig program to create a system
 configuration file.

       Note that if you use sizer with the -n option to create  a
       configuration file, it may differ from the current configuration
 on your system. For  example,  customizations  may
       not appear in the output from sizer.
