SYSGEN SHOW — VMS 4.6
Displays the values of system parameters in the SYSGEN work area, plus
the minimum, maximum, and default values of the parameters, and their
units of measure. Can also display the I/O driver database.
Format
SHOW parameter-name
SHOW /parameter-type
SHOW /DEVICE=driver-name
SHOW /HEX parameter-name
SHOW /HEX/parameter-type
Additional information available:
parameter-name
Name of a system parameter. Use the SHOW /NAMES command to obtain the names of all the system parameters.
Qualifiers
Additional information available:
/ACP/ADAPTER/ALL/CLUSTER/CONFIGURATION/DEVICE
/DRIVER/DYNAMIC/GEN/HEX/JOB/LGI/MAJOR
/NAMES/PQL/RMS/SCS/SPECIAL/STARTUP/SYS
/TTY/UNIBUS
/ACP
Displays the system parameters that affect the disk and magnetic tape ancillary control processes (ACP's).
/ADAPTER
Displays a list of adapters and what is connected to each nexus.
/ALL
Displays all the system parameters.
/CLUSTER
Displays the parameters that are associated with a VAX cluster.
/CONFIGURATION
Shows devices by name, number of units, nexus number, adapter type,as
well as CSR and vectors addresses.
CMEXEC privilege required
Also accepts /ADAPTER = adapter-spec, /OUTPUT = file-spec, as well as
/COMMAND_FILE, which formats all the devices as CONNECT commands to
allow a complete re-configuration of a system's UNIBUS without the use of
AUTOCONFIGURE.
/DEVICE[=device-driver]
Displays the device data base associated with a particular I/O device
driver; if no device driver is specified, the database for all drivers
is displayed.
CMEXEC privilege required
/DRIVER[=device-driver]
A short form of the /DEVICE display, only giving the beginning and ending addresses of the drivers.
/DYNAMIC
Displays the system parameters that can be modified in the active running system. See WRITE ACTIVE for how to modify these parameters.
/GEN
Displays the structure-generating parameters and other parameters that take effect only at boot time.
/HEX
Displays the values in base 16.
/JOB
Displays the job controller parameters.
/LGI
Displays all login parameters.
/MAJOR
Displays the major parameters. These are the parameters that are most likely to require adjustment for individual installations.
/NAMES
Displays just the names of all the parameters.
/PQL
Displays the parameters that are used as the minimum and default for process creation limits and quotas.
/RMS
Displays the parameters that are used as the system-wide defaults for VAX-11 RMS.
/SCS
Displays the parameters that are associated with the system communications services.
/SPECIAL
Displays the parameters that generally need never be changed.
/STARTUP
Displays the name of the current site-independent startup command procedure.
/SYS
Displays the parameters that are associated with overall system operation.
/TTY
Displays the parameters that are associated with the terminal driver.
/UNIBUS
Tests every word in UNIBUS I/O space and returns a list of addresses
that respond and the value that was read. Note that this command is
useful for debugging UNIBUS autoconfigure problems, but it is not
recommended for use on a running system. All unibus adapters are the
default, /ADAPTER=adapter-spec can be specified.
CMKRNL privilege required
