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
