  showconfig(8)                       CLIX                       showconfig(8)



  NAME

    showconfig - Displays system hardware configuration

  SYNOPSIS

    showconfig [-e] [-n] [-f] [-d datafile]

  FLAGS

    -e            Displays ECO information for boards

    -n            Displays information on network adapters

    -f            Displays information on hardware features

    -d datafile   Specifies the datafile file as the file containing hardware
                  descriptions and feature information for hardware.

  DESCRIPTION

    The showconfig command displays information about the hardware
    configuration of an Intergraph workstation or server.  For each board
    installed in the system, showconfig displays the board identification,
    revision information, and board description.  The showconfig command
    provides options to display information about Engineering Change Order
    (ECO) modifications and feature information for the board, as well as
    information on specialized network adapters that are installed on the
    system.

    The showconfig command is driven by information stored in identification
    PROMS present on Intergraph boards.  The showconfig command matches data
    stored in these PROMS against information in a datafile to provide the
    text descriptions.  An alternate datafile may be specified by using the -d
    flag.

  EXAMPLES

    1.  The following example shows the showconfig output for an InterPro 2020
        workstation:

        showconfig

  showconfig(8)                       CLIX                       showconfig(8)



  FILES

    /etc/showconfig.dat
           Configuration description file.

  NOTES

    This command is intended primarily for use by Intergraph support personnel
    and by CLIX system software during system startup.  Users will not
    typically need to use the command or the information it provides.

  DIAGNOSTICS

    Can't open data file
           The showconfig command could not open the default configuration
           description file, or the file passed on the command line with the
           -d flag.

    ** ID prom checksum error
           The board's identification PROM failed the checksum verification.
           The data it contains should not be trusted.

    Unknown board
           The board's identification code does not match any of the known
           boards in the configuration description file.

    Feature table overflow
           The maximum number of board features was exceeded while searching
           the configuration description file for feature information.

  EXIT VALUES

    The showconfig command exits with a value of 1 if the data file could not
    be opened or if a flag was not valid.
