NAME

sizer - Displays information about the system or kernel, or creates a system configuration file  

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/sizer [ -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, including the name of the kernel file. This program is also used by the doconfig program to create a system configuration file.  

FLAGS

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 resolutions 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-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 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 configuration file in /tmp/filename and a shell script named /tmp/filename.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 device. 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 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.
