prtconf Option to Display Product Names

Solaris 10 1/06: A new -b option has been added to the prtconf command for the purpose of displaying a system's product name. This option is similar to the uname -i command. However, the prtconf -b command is specifically designed to determine the marketing name of a product.

The firmware device tree root properties that are displayed by using the -b option to the prtconf command are as follows:

  • name

  • compatible

  • banner-name

  • model

To display additional platform- specific output that might be available, use the prtconf -vb command. For more information, see the prtconf(1M) man page and How to Display a System's Product Name.
