NAME

machid: hp9000s200, hp9000s300, hp9000s400, hp9000s500, hp9000s700, hp9000s800, hp-mc680x0, hp-pa, pdp11, u370, u3b, u3b10, u3b2, u3b5, vax — provide truth value about processor type

SYNOPSIS

hp9000s200 hp9000s300 hp9000s400 hp9000s500 hp9000s700 hp9000s800 hp-mc680x0 hp-pa pdp11 u3b u3b2 u3b5 u3b10 u370 vax

DESCRIPTION

The following commands return a true value (exit code 0) if the a processor type matches the command name. Otherwise a false value (exit code nonzero) is returned. These commands are commonly used within make makefiles and shell procedures to improve portability of applications (see make(1)).

EXAMPLES

Given a shell script that must behave differently when run on an HP 9000 Series 700 or 800 system, select the correct code segment to be executed:

if hp9000s800 then # system is Series 700 or 800. if hp9000s700 then # System is Series 700 # Series 700 code fragment goes here else # System is Series 800 # Series 800 code fragment goes here fi fi

WARNINGS

hp9000s800 always returns true on both Series 800 and Series 700 systems. Therefore, when using this command in scripts to determine hardware type, always use both hp9000s800 and hp9000s700 in the appropriate sequence to ensure correct results (see EXAMPLES).

machid(1) will no longer provide support for future machines beyond the Series 800 and Series 700 systems. Decisions should be based on the hardware and software configuration information returned by getconf(1).
