sizer(8)sizer(8)NAMEsizer - Displays information about the system or kernel, or creates a
system configuration file
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/sizer [-atm] [-b] [-c] [-gr] [-gt] [-implver] [-l] [-m] [-M]
[-nfilename] [-p] [-pr] [-P] [-r] [-v] [-wc] [-wk] [-wp] [-wt] [-wu]
OPTIONS
Indicates whether an ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) adapter 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 infor‐
mation is displayed in the following format: width x height. For exam‐
ple, 1280x1024 specifies the default graphics screen on a DEC 3000
Model 500 system. The resolutions of all the existing screens are dis‐
played 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 family name to which the processor belongs. This can be EV4, EV5,
EV6, or EV7. Displays the option for the small-memory 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 detail‐
ing the exact linker options 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 configuration file in
/tmp/filename and a shell script named /tmp/filename.devs that runs
MAKEDEV to create devices such as Lcam. The system should be running
the /genvmunix generic kernel to ensure that all required devices and
options are available. Note that disk and tape device special files are
created using dsfmgr(8).
Note
You should run doconfig to build a new kernel. Displays the
number of available CPUs. Displays the number of CPUs that are
currently running on the system. Provides information on logi‐
cal partitions. Displays the name of the root device. Displays
the operating system version string. Displays the type of work‐
station 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 worksta‐
tion pointer if one exists in the system. For example, 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 exists,
the return number 3 indicates that two displays exist, the
return number 7 indicates that three displays exist, and the
return number 15 indicates that 4 displays exist. The limit is
zero to four displays.
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
doconfig program to create a system configuration file.
Note that if you use sizer with the -n option to create a configuration
file, it may differ from the current configuration on your system. For
example, customizations may not appear in the output from sizer.
