NAME

sysdef - output system definition

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/sysdef [-n namelist [-m master ] ]
/usr/sbin/sysdef -i

DESCRIPTION

sysdef outputs the current system definition in tabular form. It lists all hardware devices, their local bus addresses, and unit count, as well as pseudo devices, system devices, loadable modules, and the values of selected kernel tunable parameters. It generates the output by analyzing the named bootable operating system file (namelist) and extracting the configuration information from it and files in the master directory. This directory contains the system configuration files used to build namelist. The default system namelist is /stand/unix; the default master directory is /etc/master.d.

Valid options and parameters are:

-n namelist

Specifies a namelist other than the default (/stand/unix). The namelist specified must be a valid bootable operating system [see cunix(1M)].

-m master

Specifies a master directory other than the default (/etc/master.d). Can only be used with the -n option.

-i Allows you read the configuration information from the kernel that is currently in memory (i.e., from /dev/kmem) rather than from a file.

DIAGNOSTICS

internal name list overflow

If the master table contains more than an internally specified number of entries for use by nlist(3C).

FILES

/stand/unix default operating system file  (file  that  con-
            tains the system namelist)

/etc/master.d/*

            default directory containing master files
