The following are some demonstrations of the prtdevs program, which prints out device instance names. This began as a solution for neatly listing all network interfaces, whether they are plumbed or not. This example is on an UltraSPARC 10, $ uname -i SUNW,Ultra-5_10 $ $ prtdevs cpu: 0 mem: 384 Mb disk: dad0 dad1 fd0 sd16 sd31 network: hme0 Another example is, $ uname -i SUNW,Ultra-60 $ $ prtdevs cpu: 0 2 mem: 1024 Mb disk: fd0 lofi1 md0 sd0 sd1 sd6 network: hme0 qfe0 qfe1 qfe2 qfe3 qfe4 qfe5 qfe6 qfe7
