.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 HP WBEM Services).

.B osinfo

requires HP WBEM Services 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.
