sysdef(1M)                                                       sysdef(1M)


   NAME
         sysdef - output system definition

   SYNOPSIS
         /usr/sbin/sysdef [-n namelist [-m master ] ]
         /usr/sbin/sysdef -i

   DESCRIPTION
         sysdef outputs the current system definition in tabular form.  It
         lists all hardware devices as well as pseudo devices, system devices,
         loadable modules, and the values of selected kernel tunable
         parameters.

         It generates the output by analyzing the named bootable operating
         system file (namelist) and extracting the configuration information
         from it and files in the master directory.  This directory contains
         the system configuration files used to build namelist.

         The default system namelist is /stand/unix;  the default master
         directory is /etc/master.d.

         Valid options and parameters are:

         -n namelist
               Specifies a namelist other than the default (/stand/unix).  The
               namelist specified must be a valid bootable operating system
               [see cunix(1M)].

         -m master
               Specifies a master directory other than the default
               (/etc/master.d).  Can only be used with the -n option.

         -i    Allows you read the configuration information from the kernel
               that is currently in memory (i.e., from /dev/kmem) rather than
               from a file.

   DIAGNOSTICS
         internal name list overflow
               If the master table contains more than an internally specified
               number of entries for use by nlist(3C).

   FILES
         /stand/unix default operating system file (file that contains the
                     system namelist)

         /etc/master.d/*
                     default directory containing master files
