|  I would assume that hinv is hardware-dependent, because of the
|  mapping issues?  Or is it table driven off of an analogue of the machtab?

Still all compiled in.  Bug/rfe open for years now about making it table
driven.

|  Unfortunately, nothing better is generally available across
|  platforms and releases.

Yes, and that's something that would be nice to fix.  Maybe linux will
do it, and we can copy them.

|  D> Lots, for any non-trivial app.  They don't have to, but often want to.
|  
|  ???  Non-trivial as in "big and powerful", or as in "gets close to
|  the hardware"?  I would argue that emacs and perl both fit the

Both/either.  Not all  big apps, of course.

|  I was looking at the options to uname, specifically "-p".  Based
|  upon the man page, shouldn't `uname -p` return "mips3" instead of
|  "mips" for my IP22?  That is one obvious meaning for:

Yes, but then you break even more of the configure scripts.  Again,
a no-win situation.

|  I was just curious is there was somehow we could make life easier
|  for configure scripts to port software for IRIX...  On the other
|  hand, we generally only get bad comments about /bin/install, and at
|  least we *don't* get comments like:

|  # AIX cpp loses on an empty file, so make sure it contains at least a newline.
Using cpp is a horrible solution...

|  It is hard to add functionality without breaking stuff.

A programmer's lament, if I ever heard one!

Here's my first pass at it.  It certainly isn't complete but it is a

The info definitely isn't in /proc on irix.

Doesn't dmesg have the problem on linux that it has on Sun systems; that is,
it only works until enough kernel printfs have happened that the circular
buffer wraps?
