Change references to the documentation sets that we still ship to reference the OpenAFS manuals instead of the IBM AFS manuals. Remove references to the IBM AFS/DFS Migration documentation, since that doesn't appear to be available anywhere any more, replacing them where relevant to more generic references to the DFS documentation. Add links to docs.openafs.org for mentions of the manuals in SEE ALSO, and standardize on one link format. Replace a few references to the IBM AFS Release Notes with the actual information in those notes, or drop the reference if it doesn't seem particularly useful.

=head1 NAME

|
|
|
sys - Reports the compile-time CPU/operating system type
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
=for html
|
|
<div class="synopsis">
|
|
|
|
B<sys>
|
|
|
|
=for html
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The B<sys> command displays the string set at compile time that indicates
|
|
the local machine's CPU/operating system (OS) type, conventionally called
|
|
the I<sysname>. This string is the default for the value stored in kernel
|
|
memory. The Cache Manager substitutes this string for the I<@sys>
|
|
variable which can occur in AFS pathnames; the I<OpenAFS Quick Start
|
|
Guide> and I<OpenAFS Administration Guide> explain how using I<@sys> can
|
|
simplify cell configuration.
|
|
|
|
To set a new value in kernel memory, use the B<fs sysname> command. To
|
|
view the current value set in the kernel, use either B<fs sysname> or
|
|
B<livesys>.
|
|
|
|
=head1 CAUTIONS
|
|
|
|
You almost always want to use B<livesys> rather than this command. The
|
|
B<sys> command displays a single value hard-coded at compile time. It
|
|
does not query the Cache Manager for the current value and it does not
|
|
report sysname lists. If you have changed the local system type with B<fs
|
|
sysname>, or if you run a version of B<sys> compiled differently than the
|
|
Cache Manager running on the system, the value retured will not match the
|
|
behavior of the Cache Manager. The only reason to use B<sys> is that
|
|
B<livesys> wasn't available in older versions of AFS.
|
|
|
|
=head1 OUTPUT
|
|
|
|
The machine's system type appears as a text string:
|
|
|
|
I<system_type>
|
|
|
|
=head1 EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
The following example shows the output produced on a Sun SPARCStation
|
|
running Solaris 5.7:
|
|
|
|
% sys
|
|
sun4x_57
