          cessor type truth value

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
     The following commands will return a true value (exit code
     of 0) if you are on a processor that the command name indi-
     cates.

          mips    True if you are on a Mips computer.

          m68000  True if you are on a m68000 computer.

          pdp11   True if you are on a PDP-11/45 or PDP-11/70.

          u3b     True if you are on a 3B20 computer.

          u3b2    True if you are on a 3B2 computer.

          u3b5    True if you are on a 3B5 computer.

          vax     True if you are on a VAX-11/750 or VAX-11/780.

     The commands that do not apply will return a false (non-
     zero) value.  These commands are often used within makefiles
     (see make(1)) and shell procedures (see sh(1)) to increase
     portability.

     To obtain more specific information, use uname(1).
