create_sysfile(1M)					    create_sysfile(1M)

NAME
       create_sysfile - create a kernel system file

SYNOPSIS
       [outfile]

DESCRIPTION
       The  command  creates  a	 kernel configuration description file (system
       file) which can be used as input to the commands kconfig(1M) or mk_ker‐
       nel(1M).	  The  system file that is generated is of type version 1 (see
       system(4)) and is built according to the drivers required by  the  cur‐
       rent  system  hardware.	 This  command	is intended for use during the
       install process when the system does not have a system file.

       The command uses the ioscan(1M) command to scan the system hardware and
       adds all drivers it can identify to run the existing hardware.  If out‐
       file is specified, the resulting system file is sent  to	 outfile.   If
       outfile is not specified, the output is placed in the file

RETURN VALUE
       Upon completion, returns with one of the following exit values:

	      0	     Successful.

	      1	     One or more errors were reported.

DIAGNOSTICS
       Errors  are  sent  to stderr.  Most of the diagnostic messages from are
       self-explanatory.  Errors cause to halt immediately.

WARNINGS
       is obsolete and will be removed in a future version of HP-UX.
