EXAMPLES

       Given a shell script that must behave differently when run on an HP 9000 Series 700 or 800 system, select the correct code  segment  to	be
       executed:

WARNINGS

       always  returns	true on both Series 800 and Series 700 systems.  Therefore, when using this command in scripts to determine hardware type,
       always use both and in the appropriate sequence to ensure correct results (see

       machid(1) will no longer provide support for future machines beyond the Series 800 and Series 700 systems.  Decisions should  be  based	on
       the hardware and software configuration information returned by getconf(1).
