  NAME

    inqifbtype - Determines the type of Integrated Frame Buffer on a system

  SYNOPSIS

    inqifbtype

  DESCRIPTION

    The inqifbtype command determines the type of Integrated Frame Buffer
    installed in the system, and prints its name to stdout.  The information
    includes the type of frame buffer (IFB, EDGE I, or EDGE II), as well as
    the screen size (1 or 2 Megapixels)

  EXAMPLES

    The following example reports the value of a system with a 1 megapixel
    (1184x884) EDGE I frame buffer:

    inqifbtype


    EDGE_M1_1MPIX


  NOTES

    While the MMG graphics adapter on the InterPro series 2000 machines is not
    counted as an IFB by inqifb, inqifbtype will report that it is a
    "IFB_2MEG_1MPIX" frame buffer.

  DIAGNOSTICS

    The inqifbtype command will print IFB_UNKNOWN if it cannot determine the
    type of frame buffer on the system, or if the frame buffer type does not
    correspond to any known frame buffer type.

  EXIT VALUES

    The inqifbtype command exis with a non-zero value if it cannot determine
    the type of frame buffer.  Otherwise, inqifbtype exits with one of the
    following values, based on the type of frame buffer:

    0   IFB_2MEG_1MPIX  (2MB IFP, 1184x884 pixels)

    1   IFB_8MEG_1MPIX  (8MB IFP, 1184x884 pixels)

    2   IFB_8MEG_2MPIX  (8MB IFP, 1664x1248 pixels)

    3   IFB_SFB
