[comp.sys.sgi] 4D Inventory

Paul Stay told me about two really useful capabilities that I was
previously unaware of:

The /bin/hinv program prints out an inventory of what hardware is
installed on the machine.  For example, my machine says:

/bin/hinv
2 16 MHZ IP5 Processors
FPU: MIPS R2010A/R3010 VLSI Floating Point Chip Revision: 1.5
CPU: MIPS R2000A/R3000 Processor Chip Revision: 1.6
Data cache size: 64 Kbytes
Instruction cache size: 64 Kbytes
Main memory size: 16 Mbytes
Interphase 4201 4-drive ESDI disk controller 0
ESDI Disk drive: unit 0 on Interphase controller 0
GT Graphic option installed
Integral Ethernet controller
Integral SCSI controller

This information is available to programmers using the getinvent()
library call and the header file <sys/invent.h>.
	Very useful,
