NAME
sysdef - display system definition
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/sysdef
[kernel [master ]]
DESCRIPTION
Note:
sysdef will not be supported in future releases of HP-UX (refer to WARNINGS section below).
So users are advised to use the kctune (1M) utility which provides additional information on kernel tun-
able parameters.
The command
sysdef analyzes the currently running system and reports on its tunable configuration
parameters. kernel and master are not used, but can be specified for standards compliance.
For each configuration parameter, the following information is printed:
NAME The name and description of the parameter.
VALUE The current value of the parameter.
BOOT The value of the parameter at boot time, if different from the current value.
MIN The minimum allowed value of the parameter, if any.
MAX The maximum allowed value of the parameter, if any.
UNITS Where appropriate, the units by which the parameter is measured.
FLAGS Flags that further describe the parameter. The following flag is defined:
M Parameter can be modified without rebooting.
WARNINGS
Users of
sysdef must not rely on the exact field widths and spacing of its output, as these will vary
depending on the system, the release of HP-UX, and the data to be displayed.
sysdef is provided for compatibility purposes only and is no longer maintained since being marked for
obsolescence in a future HP-UX release. The output from sysdef is known to be incorrect when report-
ing values for some tunable parameters such as msgmap, sema, and shmem.
