optisa(1)

Name

optisa - determine which variant instruction set is optimal to use

Synopsis

optisa instruction_set...

Description

optisa prints which instruction_set out of the ones specified in the command will perform best on this machine. In this case, “best” is defined by the order in which instruction set names are returned by isalist(1). Possible values for instruction_set are given in isalist(7).

This command is obsolete and may be removed in a future version of Solaris. See isainfo(1) for a better way to handle instruction set extensions.

Exit Status

The following exit values are returned:
