DESCRIPTION
ctys-utilities is a collection of tiny bye tools, which encapsulate
some basic system information.
-  getCPUinfo
- 
Displays CPU information including the HVM and PAE/PARA capabilities.
-  getCurArch
- 
Displays the current architecture.
-  getCurCTYSRel
- 
Displays the current release of the UnifiedSessionsManager.
-  getCurDistribution
- 
Displays the name of the current distribution.
-  getCurGID
- 
Displays the GID of current user.
-  getFSinfo
- 
Displays the list and size of current home filesystems on seperate partitions/slices.
-  getGeometry
- 
Converts the extended format geometryExt for Xinerama addressing to
standard geometry values for usage with X11 executables.
  getGeometry
    [-g <geometryExt>]
    [--geometry=<geometryExt>]
  
    [-d <debug-args>]
    [-H|--helpEx]
    [-h|--help|-help]
    [-V]
    [-X]
The <geometryExt> represents the extended addressing as described by the standard generic
parameters for ctys.
The output is the calculated absolute address as required for standard executables.
-  getHDDinfo
- 
Displays a list of current HDDs.
-  getMEMinfo
- 
Displays a list of available memory including available swap space.
-  getCurOS
- 
Echoes the name of current OS. Will be used widely for
internal execution variant selection during runtime.
-  getCurOSRelease
- 
Echoes the release of current OS. Will be used widely for
internal execution variant selection during runtime.
-  getCurDistribution
- 
Echoes the name of current distro. Will be used widely for
internal execution variant selection during runtime.
-  getCurRelease
- 
Echoes the release of current distro-release. Will be used widely
for internal execution variant selection during runtime.
-  getCurOSRel
- 
Displays the release of current OS.
-  getPerfIDX
- 
Displays a standardized "ctys-index", for comparison of machine performance.
-  getSolarisUUID
- 
Gets the UUID on Solaris.
-  getVMinfo
- 
Displays the VM information, which is either VM or PM.
-  pathlist
- 
Shell interface for "pathSplit" library function, lists each
element of common colon seperated search paths line by line.
Could be used for trouble shooting support when PATH
resolution fails.
-  ctys-getMasterPid
- 
Internal call for evaluation of the master pid for a process.
This works for detached processes and already running processes too.
For additional explanation refer to PROC-FIND-TOP-BOTTOM.
It is a quick-hack, do not rely on it.
