3.TH MACHTYPE 1 "May 14 1996"
4.SH NAME
5machtype \- Print machine type to standard output
6.SH SYNOPSIS
7.B machtype
8[-c] [-d] [-r] [-M] [-v] [-A] [-L] [-P] [-N] [-E] [-S] [-C]
9.SH DESCRIPTION
10.I Machtype
11prints the CPU type to standard output.  It prints "sun4" when run on a
12Sun and "sgi" when run on an SGI.
13.TP
14.B -c
15Print the specific cpu type (e.g. SPARC/5 or IP22).
16.TP
17.B -d
18Print the types of display attached to the system (e.g.  "cgthree").
19.TP
20.B -r
21Print the types of any disk drives attached to the system, one to a
22line, as in "SUN0535".
23.TP
24.B -M
25Print the physical memory present, in kilobytes.
26.TP
27.B -v
28Verbose output (suitable for humans to read, instead of computers).
29.TP
30.B -A
31Print out the release that machtype was compiled under.
32.TP
33.B -P
34Print out the version of the Athena system packs attached, from
35.I /srvd/.rvdinfo
36.TP
37.B -L
38Print out the version of Athena installed on the local system from
39.I /etc/athena/version.
40.TP
41.B -N
42Print out the name of the base operating system machtype was compiled
43under; if used with the "-v" flag, the version number of the OS will
44be included as well.  Current values for the name of the base OS are
45"SunOS" and "IRIX".
46.TP
47.B -E
48Print out the version number of the base operating system machtype was
49compiled under.
50.TP
51.B -S
52Print out the "Athena System" name for the current architecture. This
53value is normally stored in the environment variable ATHENA_SYS, and
54ideally corresponds to the AFS system name for the same machine
55assuming the machine were running AFS. This value is used in the Athena
56environment as part of a scheme for laying out filesystems containing
57binaries for multiple architectures. See \fIlockers\fR(7) for more
58information.
59.TP
60.B -C
61Print out a colon-separated list of "Athena System" names that are
62compatible with the current architecture. This value is normally
63stored in the environment variable ATHENA_SYS_COMPAT, and is used by
64\fIathdir\fR(1) and \fIadd\fR(1) as a set of fallback values when a
65locker doesn't have binaries for the actual Athena System name.
66.PP
67.I Machtype
68is useful for conditionalizing shell scripts, .login files, etc. in an
69environment that contains filesystems shared across several different
70architectures.
