NAME

sizer − a program that sizes system hardware

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/sizer [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

The sizer program reports information about a kernel file and the running system. It is also used by the doconfig program to create a system configuration file. 

FLAGS

-cReturn the CPU type of the running CPU. 

-t timezone
Specify a time zone string as defined in the Guide to System Administration for the timezone global definition. For example, -t "5 dst 1" represents the timezone five hours west of Greenwich Mean Time adjusted for daylight savings time. This is United States Eastern daylight savings time. The -t option is used in conjunction with the -n option. 

-wtReturns the workstation display type. 

-wuReturns the workstation display units. 

-k imageUse the indicated kernel file instead of /vmunix.  This is useful when the running system is not /vmunix or you want information about a system that is not running. 

-n filename
Create a configuration file. To do this, the system must be running the /vmunix kernel unless the -k option is used. The -n option creates a configuration file in /tmp/filename and also a file required for MAKEDEV called /tmp/filename.devs.  NOTE: The user should run doconfig to build a new kernel. 

-rReturns the name of the root device.
