SYSGEN SHOW — VMS 5.1-B
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
/MULTIPROCESSING/NAMES/PQL/RMS/SCS/SPECIAL
/STARTUP/SYS/TTY/UNIBUS
/ACP
/ACP Displays the system parameters that affect the disk and magnetic tape ancillary control processes (ACP's).
/ADAPTER
/ADAPTER Displays a list of adapters and what is connected to each nexus.
/ALL
/ALL Displays all the system parameters.
/CLUSTER
/CLUSTER Displays the parameters that are associated with a VAX cluster.
/CONFIGURATION
/CONFIGURATION Shows devices by name, number of units, nexus number, adapter type, as well as CSR and vectors addresses. Requires CMEXEC privilege. 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[=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. Requires CMEXEC privilege.
/DRIVER
/DRIVER[=device-driver] A short form of the /DEVICE display, only giving the beginning and ending addresses of the drivers.
/DYNAMIC
/DYNAMIC Displays the system parameters that can be modified in the active running system. See WRITE ACTIVE for how to modify these parameters.
/GEN
/GEN Displays the structure-generating parameters and other parameters that take effect only at boot time.
/HEX
/HEX Displays the values in base 16.
/JOB
/JOB Displays the job controller parameters.
/LGI
/LGI Displays all login parameters.
/MAJOR
/MAJOR Displays the major parameters. These are the parameters that are most likely to require adjustment for individual installations.
/MULTIPROCESSING
/MULTIPROCESSING Displays the parameters that are associated with symmetric multiprocessing (SMP).
/NAMES
/NAMES Displays just the names of all the parameters.
/PQL
/PQL Displays the parameters that are used as the minimum and default for process creation limits and quotas.
/RMS
/RMS Displays the parameters that are used as the system-wide defaults for VMS RMS.
/SCS
/SCS Displays the parameters that are associated with the system communications services.
/SPECIAL
/SPECIAL Displays all parameters that are reserved for DIGITAL use only.
/STARTUP
/STARTUP Displays the name of the current site-independent startup command procedure.
/SYS
/SYS Displays the parameters that are associated with overall system operation.
/TTY
/TTY Displays the parameters that are associated with the terminal driver.
/UNIBUS
/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. Requires CMKRNL privilege.
