NAME

sysdef − system definition

SYNOPSIS

/etc/sysdef [opsys[master]]

DESCRIPTION

Sysdef analyzes the named operating system file and extracts configuration information.  This includes all hardware devices, their addresses, interrupt vectors and unit count, as well as system devices and all tunable parameters. 

The output of sysdef can be used directly by config(1M) to regenerate the appropriate low.s (univec.c on the VAX-11/780) and conf.c configuration files. 

FILES

/unixdefault operating system file
/etc/masterdefault table for hardware specifications

DIAGNOSTICS

“unknown device interrupts at vector xxx” if information regarding the device cannot be found in the master table. 

SEE ALSO

config(1M), master(5). 

BUGS

As yet, sysdef knows nothing of devices that are not interrupt driven. 
Because information regarding config aliases is not preserved by the system, device names returned might not be accurate.
