HELP POPHOST Jonathan Laventhol, January 1984 pophost(<word>) -> <string | number> This library provides a table of information about the kind of machine that Poplog is running on. When Poplog is first installed, your system administrator will need to edit LIB * POPHOST to ensure that the information is correct. Some examples: pophost("machinetype") => ** sun4 pophost("os") => ** unix pophost("site") => ** sussex pophost("sitemailname") => ** cogs.susx.ac.uk The table may be extended to include any information which is needed. The currently defined entries are: "os" operating system name "osversion" operating system version "machinetype" generic machine type (eg 'vax') "machine" actual machine type "systemname" the local name of the machine "memory" approximate amount of memory "machineserialnumber" serial number of machine "site" where the machine is "sitemailname" electronic mail address for site "fullsitename" offical site address The default for entries is FALSE. LIB * POPHOST uses the convention that all of the results are strings or numbers, generally in lowercase only. Look at the library file (LIB * POPHOST) to find the format of the information you require before writing programs that use it. --- C.all/help/pophost --- Copyright University of Sussex 1992.
