NAME
sizer - Displays information about the system or kernel, or creates a
system configuration file
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/sizer [ -atm, -b, -c, -gr, -gt, -l, -m, -M, -nfilename, -p,
-r, -v, -wc, -wk, -wp, -wt, -wu ]
DESCRIPTION
The sizer program reports information about the running system, includ-
ing the name of the kernel file. This program is also used by the do-
config program to create a system configuration file.
FLAGS
Displays the success value if an ATM adaptor 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 resolu-
tions 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 flag for the small-mem-
ory 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 flags 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 config-
uration file in /tmp/filename and a shell script named /tmp/file-
name.devs that runs MAKEDEV and creates the device special names for
the devices specified in the configuration file. The system should be
running the /genvmunix generic kernel to ensure that all devices and
options are available.
NOTE: You should run doconfig to build a new kernel. Displays
the number of available CPUs. Displays the name of the root de-
vice. 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 exam-
ple, 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 ex-
ists, the return number 3 indicates that two displays exist, the
return number 7 indicates that three displays exist, and the re-
turn number 15 indicates that 4 displays exist. The limit is
zero to four displays.
