SYSINFO(1)SYSINFO(1)NAMEsysinfo - print system identification
SYNOPSISsysinfo [-s][-v][-vv]
DESCRIPTIONsysinfo with no options prints the unique identifier of the system. This
identifier is guaranteed to be unique within the Silicon Graphics product
family. With the -s option a shorter (32 bit) identifier is printed.
This identifier is not guaranteed to be unique but in practice is. This
number is the same that is available from within a program via the sysid
function. On multiple module systems this will return a 32 bit version of
the lowest numbered module's identifier. Because this interface does not
take into account multiple module systems its use is discouraged. With
the -v option, sysinfo will print the unique identifier followed by the
module number for each module in the system. The -vv option will print
the unique identifier, the system serial number and the module number for
each module on all platforms except IP20. On IP20 it will only print the
unique identifier and the module number.
SEE ALSOsysid(3C)BUGS
The system identifier on different Silicon Graphics products is
associated with different physical pieces of hardware. Therefore, the
identifier may unexpectedly change when the hardware is modified.
