NAME
       isalist - display the native instruction sets executable on this platform

SYNOPSIS
       isalist

DESCRIPTION
       isalist	prints	the names of the native instruction sets executable on this platform on the standard output, as returned by the SI_ISALIST
       command of sysinfo(2).

       The names are space-separated and are ordered in the sense of best performance. That is, earlier-named instruction sets might contain  more
       instructions  than  later-named	instruction  sets;  a  program that is compiled for an earlier-named instruction sets will most likely run
       faster on this machine than the same program compiled for a later-named instruction set.

       Programs compiled for instruction sets that do not appear in the list will most likely experience performance degradation or not run at all
       on this machine.

       The  instruction  set names known to the system are listed in isalist(5). These names might or might not match predefined names or compiler
       options in the C language compilation system,

       This command is obsolete and may be removed in a future version of Solaris. See isainfo(1) for a  better  way  to  handle  instruction  set
       extensions.
