- If by 'online' you mean within a program, your program can call getinvent
- to get information on hardware, and it can call getgdesc to get information
- on graphics.
-
- You can use commands such as:
-
- hinv
- /usr/gfx/gfxinfo
- xdpyinfo
- uname -a
-
- to display the information about hardware and graphics on your SGI machines.
- The command uname can be used to display, among other things, the type of CPU
- board installed in your SGI machine, such as IP6.
