SYS_INFO(1) FreeBSD General Commands Manual SYS_INFO(1)
NAME
sys_info - script to show system version information
SYNOPSIS
sys_info [-v] [-d destination-dir] [-L lib-path] [-P path]
[component ...]
DESCRIPTION
The sys_info script displays version numbers for system components. It
is useful for finding out the installed versions of the components of a
system. The sys_info utility uses a combination of ways to retrieve
version information from the installed utilities.
OPTIONS
The following options are available:
-d This option provides a destination directory, used as the root
directory of an alternative set of programs and libraries. This
can be useful for finding versions of utilities and libraries
rooted in the file system directory, such as the destination
directory from a build.sh run.
-L Give a list of directories (colon separated) that are used when
searching for libraries. If not given the value of
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is used if set in the environment, or otherwise a
standard (built-in) set of directories.
-P Set PATH. If not given, the system default path, as obtained from
user.cs_path via sysctl(8) is used. To use the current value of
$PATH from the caller, use:
-P "$PATH"
-v Show the commands used to obtain the version information for each
component
Arguments may be given to sys_info. If any arguments are specified, they
are assumed to be names of programs, or shared libraries, installed on
the system. If no arguments are provided, then all of the items that are
known to sys_info are reported.
EXIT STATUS
sys_info exits with status 2 if an unknown option is given, otherwise
with status 1 if an unknown component is specified, otherwise, with
status 0.
