NAME

sysinfo − System information file

DESCRIPTION

The file /etc/sysinfo or ~/.userinfo contains system variable definitions in the same format as sh(1). 

These system variables are referenced by setlocale(3) or getsysinfo(3).  Consequently, commands that support multiple languages have to reference the LANG=....  line in these files when they are unable to refer to the environment variable LANG. 

In addition, the LBP filter /usr/sony/lib/lpf_smlbp references the SMLBP=....  line in these files and performs character code and character set settings. 

The format for the lines in these two files is as follows. 

name=string

The name portion consists of an letter (or the _ character) followed by 0 or more letters.  There may be a space or tab immediately before name, but name must be followed by a =.  The string portion consists of all characters from immediately after the = to the end of the line.  Anything that does not conform to the above conditions is ignored.  For example, comment lines beginning with # or blank lines are allowed.  There is no way to continue a line on following lines. 

FILES
