The prtfru utility is used to obtain FRUID data from the system or domain. Its output is that of a tree structure echoing the path in the FRU (Field-Replaceable Unit) tree to each container. When a container is found, the data from that container is printed in a tree-like structure as well.

prtfru without any arguments will print the FRU hierarchy and all of the FRUID container data. prtfru prints to stdout which may be redirected to a file.

The following options are supported:

-c

Prints only the containers and their data. This option does not print the FRU tree hierarchy.

-d

Prints a DTD for the current registry to stdout.

-h

Displays a help message and exits.

-l

Prints only the FRU tree hierarchy. This option does not print the container data.

-x

Prints in XML format with a system identifier (SYSTEM) of prtfrureg.dtd.

Options -c and -l can be used together to obtain a list of the containers.

The folowing operand is supported:

container

The name of a particular container in the FRU hierarchy, that is, either the name or path/name of a container as displayed in the -l option.

The following exit values are returned:

0

All information was found and printed successfully.

>0

An error has occurred.
