NAME

create_sysﬁle - create a kernel system ﬁle

SYNOPSIS

/usr/lbin/sysadm/create_sysfile

[outﬁle]

DESCRIPTION

The

create_sysfile

command creates a kernel conﬁguration description ﬁle (system ﬁle) which can

be used as input to the commands kconﬁg(1M) or mk_kernel (1M). The system ﬁle that is generated is of

type version 1 (see system (4)) and is built according to the drivers required by the current system

hardware. This command is intended for use during the install process when the system does not have a

system ﬁle.

The

create_sysfile

command uses the ioscan (1M) command to scan the system hardware and adds

all drivers it can identify to run the existing hardware. If outﬁle is speciﬁed, the resulting system ﬁle is

sent to outﬁle.Ifoutﬁle is not speciﬁed, the output is placed in the ﬁle

/stand/system

RETURN VALUE

Upon completion,

create_sysfile

returns with one of the following exit values:

0 Successful.

1 One or more errors were reported.

DIAGNOSTICS

Errors are sent to stderr. Most of the diagnostic messages from

create_sysfile

are self-explanatory.

Errors cause

create_sysfile to halt immediately.

WARNINGS

create_sysfile is obsolete and will be removed in a future version of HP-UX.
