+<P><STRONG>Purpose</STRONG>
+<P>Reports or sets the CPU/operating system type
+<P><STRONG>Synopsis</STRONG>
+<PRE><B>fs sysname</B> [<B>-newsys</B> <<VAR>new sysname</VAR>>] [<B>-help</B>]
+
+<B>fs sy</B> [<B>-n</B> <<VAR>new sysname</VAR>>] [<B>-h</B>]
+</PRE>
+<P><STRONG>Description</STRONG>
+<P>The <B>fs sysname</B> command sets or displays the local machine's
+CPU/operating system type as recorded in kernel memory. The Cache
+Manager substitutes the string for the <VAR>@sys</VAR> variable which can occur
+in AFS pathnames; the <I>IBM AFS Quick Beginnings</I> and <I>IBM
+AFS Administration Guide</I> explain how using <VAR>@sys</VAR> can simplify
+cell configuration. It is best to use it sparingly, however, because it
+can make the effect of changing directories unpredictable.
+<P>The command always applies to the local machine only. If issued on
+an NFS client machine accessing AFS via the NFS/AFS Translator, the string is
+set or reported for the NFS client machine. The Cache Manager on the
+AFS client machine serving as the NFS client's NFS/AFS translator machine
+stores the value in its kernel memory, and so can provide the NFS client with
+the proper version of program binaries when the user issues commands for which
+the pathname to the binaries includes <I>@sys</I>. There is a
+separate record for each user logged into the NFS client, which implies that
+if a user adopts a new identity (UNIX UID) during a login session on the NFS
+client--perhaps by using the UNIX <B>su</B> command--he or she
+must verify that the correct string is set for the new identity also.
+<P><STRONG>Options</STRONG>
+<DL>
+<P><DT><B>-newsys
+</B><DD>Sets the CPU/operating system indicator string for the local
+machine. If this argument is omitted, the output displays the current
+setting instead. AFS uses a standardized set of strings; consult
+the <I>IBM AFS Quick Beginnings</I> or <I>AFS Release
+Notes</I>.
+<P><DT><B>-help
+</B><DD>Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options
+are ignored.
+</DL>
+<P><STRONG>Output</STRONG>
+<P>When the <B>-newsys</B> argument is omitted, the output reports the
+machine's system type in the following format:
+<PRE> Current sysname is '<VAR>system_type</VAR>'
+
+</PRE>
+<P><STRONG>Examples</STRONG>
+<P>The following example shows the output produced on a Sun SPARCStation
+running Solaris 5.7:
+<PRE> % <B>fs sysname</B>
+ Current sysname is 'sun4x_57'
+
+</PRE>
+<P>The following command defines a machine to be a IBM RS/6000 running AIX
+4.2:
+<PRE> % <B>fs sysname -newsys rs_aix42</B>
+
+</PRE>
+<P><STRONG>Privilege Required</STRONG>
+<P>To display the current setting, no privilege is required. To include
+the <B>-newsys</B> argument on an AFS client machine, the issuer must be
+logged in as the local superuser <B>root</B>.
