getconfig(1) General Commands Manual getconfig(1)NAMEgetconfig - get configuration information for the XFree86 serverSYNOPSISgetconfig [option ...]DESCRIPTIONgetconfig 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.SEE ALSOgetconfig(5), XFree86(1), XF86Config(5).AUTHORSThe XFree86 automatic configuration support and the getconfig interface was written by David H. Dawes, with the support of X-Oz Technolo- gies. XFree86 Version 4.7.0 getconfig(1)
