NAME

ispcvt — verify if current video driver is pcvt driver

SYNOPSIS

ispcvt [−c] [−d device] [−n] [−v]

DESCRIPTION

The ispcvt utility allows the user to check whether the current video driver compiled into the kernel is a pcvt driver. The major and minor release numbers of the driver are also checked. Furthermore ispcvt is also able to print out the values of all the ’’PCVT_XXXXXX’’ compile time options, the driver in the current running kernel was compiled with.

The options are as follows:

−d

Specifies a device for which the check is done.

−v

Specifies being verbose. On success the name and revision is reported, on failure which comparison failed.

−n

print the number of compiled-in virtual terminals.

−c

This options prints out the values of all ’’PCVT_XXXXXX’’ #defines which were given to the compiler at the time the currently running kernel was compiled. Specifying −v with the −c option gives a verbose listing of the compile-time options.

DIAGNOSTICS

The ispcvt utility exits with one of the following values:

0

driver is pcvt and major and minor numbers match

1

open(2) or ioctl(2) system call failed

2

driver name mismatch

3

name matched, release major number mismatch

4
