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 direc-
     tory 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
