sbinfo(1)           UNIX Programmer's Manual            sbinfo(1)



NAME
     sbinfo - show information derived from the local sandbox rc
     file.

SYNOPSIS
     sbinfo [-sb sandbox-name] [-rc rc-file] [-sb_rc rc-file] [-
     usage] [directives]

FLAGS
     -sb sandbox-name
          The sandbox name.  The default value of this flag is
          the value of $SANDBOX or the default sandbox name
          listed in your $HOME/.sandboxrc file.

     -rc rc-file
          Provides the path and name of an alternative .sandboxrc
          file to use instead of the default ${HOME}/.sandboxrc.

     -sb_rc rc-file
          Provides the path and name of an alternative rc file to
          use instead of the default sandbox/rc_files/local.

     -usage
          Print the usage line.

DESCRIPTION
     sbinfo reads the local rc file in the users sandbox rc_files
     directory and prints out the environment variables and
     directives that it has resolved.  sbinfo is used to list the
     values of variables and directives that build and other
     sandbox based tools derive from rc files when they are used
     in that sandbox.  All variables and directives are printed
     out in their expanded forms.  When directives are specifed
     on the command line, only the value of those directives are
     printed out, not the entire sandbox environment.  If the
     local rc file includes any other rc files, such as the
     shared rc file and the rc files of backing trees, sbinfo
     will resolve the values it prints to include all of the
     information from the other rc files.

     FILES

     $HOME/.sandboxrc
          is used to obtain the path of the sandbox.

     sandbox/rc_files/local
          is read and the information in it is evaluated.

     sandbox/rc_files/*
          are other rc files that the local rc file may refer-
          ence.
