getconfig

getconfig(1)						      General Commands Manual						      getconfig(1)

NAME

       getconfig - get configuration information for the XFree86 server

SYNOPSIS

       getconfig [option ...]

DESCRIPTION

       getconfig is a programmatic interface that is used by the XFree86 server to get configuration information about video hardware when operat-
       ing without an XF86Config file.

       This implementation of getconfig is written in perl.  It processes a prioritized and ordered list of rules  supplied  internally  and  from
       meta-configuration files.  The rules are in the form of perl expressions.  getconfig writes to standard output the XF86Config-style config-
       uration data specified by the last highest priority rule that evaluates to true.  Information about the format  of  the	meta-configuration
       files can be found in the getconfig(5) manual page.

OPTIONS

       -I search-path
	       Specify the search path to use for meta-config files.  search-path is a comma-separated list of directories to search.  Each direc-
	       tory in the search path is searched for files with a .cfg suffix.  Each such file is opened  and  checked  for  a  valid  signature
	       string.	 Rules are read from files with a valid signature string and appended to the list of rules to evaluate.  If no search path
	       is specified, only the internally supplied configuration rules will be used.

       -D      Enable debugging output.

       -V      Print out the version information and exit.

       -X XFree86-version
	       Specify the XFree86 version in numeric (integer) form.

       -b subsys-id
	       Specify the PCI subsystem ID of the video device.

       -c class
	       Specify the PCI class of the video device.

       -d device-id
	       Specify the PCI device ID of the video device.

       -r revision
	       Specify the PCI revision of the video device.

       -s subsysvendor-id
	       Specify the PCI subsystem vendor ID of the video device.

       -v vendor-id
	       Specify the PCI vendor ID of the video device.

       -S sbus-path
	       Specify the SBUS path of the video device.

FILES

       .cfg files located in the search path.  The search path typically specified by the XFree86 server is:

	   /etc/X11
	   /usr/X11R6/etc/X11
	   <modulepath>
	   /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/getconfig

       where <modulepath> is the XFree86 server's module search path.
