NAME

       sizer - 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  pix-
       els,  for each graphics screen that exists in the system.  The information 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  or	EV6.   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 detailing the exact linker options and module names used to  boot-
       strap  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  con-
       figuration  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 cur-
	      rently running on the system.  Provides information on logical partitions.  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 cho-
	      sen 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.

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.

       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.
