SYSINFO(1)                                                          SYSINFO(1)


NAME
     sysinfo - print system identification

SYNOPSIS
     sysinfo [-s][-v][-vv]

DESCRIPTION
     sysinfo 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 ALSO
     sysid(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.
