PSRINFO(1M)PSRINFO(1M)NAMEpsrinfo - displays information about processors
SYNOPSISpsrinfo [-p] [-v] [processor_id]...
psrinfo [-p] -s processor_id
DESCRIPTIONpsrinfo displays information about processors. Each physical processor
may support multiple virtual processors. Each virtual processor is an
entity with its own interrupt ID, capable of executing independent
threads.
Without the processor_id operand, psrinfo displays one line for each
configured processor, displaying whether it is on-line, non-interrupt‐
ible (designated by no-intr), spare, off-line, faulted or powered off,
and when that status last changed. Use the processor_id operand to dis‐
play information about a specific processor. See OPERANDS.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-s processor_id
Silent mode. Displays 1 if the specified processor
is fully on-line. Displays 0 if the specified pro‐
cessor is non-interruptible, spare, off-line,
faulted or powered off.
Use silent mode when using psrinfo in shell scripts.
-p
Display the number of physical processors in a sys‐
tem.
When combined with the -v option, reports additional
information about each physical processor.
-v
Verbose mode. Displays additional information about
the specified processors, including: processor type,
floating point unit type and clock speed. If any of
this information cannot be determined, psrinfo dis‐
plays unknown.
When combined with the -p option, reports additional
information about each physical processor.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
processor_id
The processor ID of the processor about which informa‐
tion is to be displayed.
Specify processor_id as an individual processor number
(for example, 3), multiple processor numbers separated
by spaces (for example, 1 2 3), or a range of processor
numbers (for example, 1-4). It is also possible to com‐
bine ranges and (individual or multiple) processor_ids
(for example, 1-3 5 7-8 9).
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Displaying Information About All Configured Processors in
Verbose Mode
The following example displays information about all configured proces‐
sors in verbose mode.
psrinfo-v
Example 2 Determining If a Processor is On-line
The following example uses psrinfo in a shell script to determine if a
processor is on-line.
if [ "`psrinfo -s 3 2> /dev/null`" −eq 1 ]
then
echo "processor 3 is up"
fi
Example 3 Displaying Information About the Physical Processors in the
System
With no additional arguments, the -p option displays a single integer:
the number of physical processors in the system:
> psrinfo-p
8
psrinfo also accepts command line arguments (processor IDs):
> psrinfo-p 0 512 # IDs 0 and 512 exist on the
1 # same physical processor
> psrinfo-p 0 1 # IDs 0 and 1 exist on different
2 # physical processors
In this example, virtual processors 0 and 512 exist on the same physi‐
cal processor. Virtual processors 0 and 1 do not. This is specific to
this example and is and not a general rule.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0
Successful completion.
>0
An error occurred.
