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  speci-
      fied  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(5).
 


ATTRIBUTES
      See attributes(5) for descriptions of the  following  attri-
      butes:

 EXIT STATUS
      The following exit values are returned:
 
      0     One of the  instruction_set values  you  specified  is
            printed by this command.
 
      1     There is no output; that is, this machine  cannot  use
            any   instruction_set  that  you  specified  with  the
            optisa command.

NOTES
      optisa  is  preferable  to   uname  -p  or   uname  -m  (see
      uname(1)) in determining which of several binary versions of
      a given program  should be used on the given machine.
