By default, .I sysinfo displays all system information it knows about in verbose mode. This includes: .IP * Host name .IP * Host name aliases .IP * Host network addresses .IP * Host ID .IP * System serial number .IP * Manufacturer of the system's hardware .IP * CPU model name .IP * CPU type .IP * Application architecture .IP * Kernel architecture .IP * Amount of main memory .IP * Operating system name .IP * Operating system version .IP * Kernel version .IP * A variety of information about devices. .PP By default, .B sysinfo will display most info items it knows about. Specific items may be exclusively shown by using the .B \-show option and specifying a comma seperated list of items. .PP If the file .I /etc/sysmodel exists, the first line of the file is read and used as the system model name. .SH OPTIONS .IP "\fB+|-all\fP" Enable (\fB+all\fP) or disable (\fB\-all\fP) displaying all known information. This option is enabled by default. .IP "\fB\-level \fIlevels\fR" Set the show level. .I levels is a comma seperated list of values used to determine what levels of information will be displayed. Use the .B "\-list level" option to get a list of valid .I levels. .IP "\fB\-list [ level|show ]\fR" List all the possible values that may be used with an option. Specifying .B "\-list show" will list possible values for use with the .B \-show option. Specifying .B "\-list level" will list possible values for use with the .B \-level option. .IP "\fB+|-terse\fP" Enable (\fB+terse\fP) or disable (\fB\-terse\fP) showing items in terse format. When enabled this usually means that the field label for each item is not displayed. This option is disabled by default. .IP "\fB\-show \fIitem1,item2,...\fR" Show information only about each comma seperated item. A current list of valid item names can be determined by using the .B "\-list show" option. .IP "\fB+|-unknown\fP" Enable (\fB+unknown\fP) or disable (\fB\-unknown\fP) showing devices that appear to be present on the system, but are not "known" to sysinfo. This option is enabled by default. .IP "\fB-version\fP" Show version information for .I sysinfo. .SH AUTHOR Michael A. Cooper, .br University Computing Services, .br University of Southern California. .SH FILES .sp /etc/sysmodel \- Explicitly set the CPU model name .SH SEE ALSO gethostid(2), gethostname(2), gethostbyname(3) .SH DIAGNOSTICS .IP "\fI%x: Unknown CPU type.\fP" The CPU model for the current host could not be determined. .IP "(unknown)" Information could not be determined for this item. .SH BUGS Not all operating systems support interfaces to various pieces of information that sysinfo supports. .PP Some devices, mostly devices that use removable media such as tape drives and floppy disks, are only indicated (shown) as present if media is loaded in the device and it's on-line. This occurs because the OS does not provide a software interface to query the device when media is not loaded.
