.SH NAME
.PP
osinfo \- gather information regarding the running operating system
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fB osinfo\fP  [ \fB-c\fP ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The 
.B osinfo 
command displays information regarding the operating system,
gathered via WBEM using the PG_OperatingSystem class supported by the
OperatingSystem Provider (bundled with OpenPegasus).
.B osinfo
requires the CIM Server to be installed and running.
.PP
By default, the information is formatted for display, converting
CIMDateTime strings into a more user-readable format (see Examples),
and converting the total number of seconds of uptime into the 
appropriate number of days, hours, minutes, and seconds.
.PP
If a property value is unavailable, it will be shown as "Unknown"
.SS Options
.B osinfo
recognizes the following options:
.RS
.TP 15
.B -c
Use the CIM formats for DateTime and SystemUpTime values (not
the formatting done by default).
As specified by the DMTF, the CIMDateTime format is 
yyyymmddhhmmss.mmmmmmsutc, where yyyy is
a 4-digit year, mm is the month, dd is the day, hh is the hour on a 24-hour
clock, mm is the minute, ss is the second, mmmmmm is the number of
microseconds, s is a "+" or "-" indicating the sign of the UTC
(Universal Time Code) correction field (since the DateTime is returned in
the local time zone of the system), and utc is the offset from UTC in
minutes.

The same rushmore.cup.hp.com system is displayed, but in this output the
LastBootTime and LocalDateTime values are in the CIM format.  The SystemUpTime
value is in total seconds (as specified by CIM).  Other fields do not change,
as their CIM specification is the strings themselves.
