NAME
     ABIinfo - query information about MIPS ABI systems

SYNOPSIS
     ABIinfo Selector-string

DESCRIPTION
     ABIinfo provides a shell-level interface to determine whether a
     particular MIPS ABI feature is supported by the operating system.
     ABIinfo also provides the version of the MIPS Processor ABI Conformance
     Guide to which the operating system conforms.

     This interface allows a feature which will appear in a future Conformance
     Guide to be supported by the host operating system prior to that system
     becoming conformant with that Conformance Guide . It also allows
     applications to determine whether features which are documented in the
     Conformance Guide , but are not mandatory features, are implemented on a
     particular host operating system.

     The ABIinfo utility takes a selector string, which is an ASCII form of
     the #define found in <ABIinfo.h>, as an argument indicating a query for a
     software or hardware feature.  If the feature is supported, an ASCII
     representation of the version identifier is printed on the standard
     output.  The version identifiers and their meanings are listed in the
     ABIinfo selector table.

     Refer to the manual entry for ABIinfo(3C) for information about the
     meaning of the individual parameters.

DIAGNOSTICS
     ABIinfo exits with a status of 0 if the feature represented by the
     selector is supported, 1 if the feature is not supported, and 2 if the
     selector is invalid.

EXAMPLE
     The following command prints the Conformance Guide version supported by
     the current environment:

	  ABIinfo ABIinfo_BlackBook

SEE ALSO
