DEVSTR(1M)          RISC/os Reference Manual           DEVSTR(1M)



NAME
     devstr - print device strings

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/devstr [ -a ] [ -f format ] device...

DESCRIPTION
     If the device is a SCSI device, the command devstr obtains
     the device identifier string from each named device, and
     will first print the information according to the format.
     In all cases, it will print a message to identify the con-
     troller type and firmware revision levels if applicable.
     For ethernet controllers, the hardware ethernet address is
     also printed. The argument device must either be a character
     device, or as in the case for ethernet controllers, it must
     be of the form ``name unit'', e.g. ``enp0''.

     The following are examples of current controller strings,
     for some of the controller types supported.


          ipc%d - Interphase V/SMD 3200 Revision (&.5000) 12/22/86

     As with programs like date(1) and uptime(1), the SCSI format
     string can contain any text.  The sequences \n, \t, \f, \r,
     \b, and \\ are handled just like C escapes.  All other
     escaped characters are printed as-is.  Statistics are
     printed by using %-specifiers, as in the date(1) command.
     The available specifiers are:

          f    The name of the device
          v    The vendor name
          V    The vendor name padded to 8 characters
          p    The product id
          P    The product id padded to 16 characters
          r    The revision number
          R    The revision number padded to 4 characters
          m    The microcode revision number
          M    The microcode revision number padded to 8 charac-
               ters
          n    The serial number
          N    The serial number padded to 12 characters
          t    The device type
          T    The device type padded to 16 characters
          %    The character %

     The padded items are provided because the actual device
     strings are padded in this way, thus the original device
