      NAME
           disptype - determine the type of Bull-SPS9 display

      SYNTAX
           disptype [ -l ] [ -s ]

      DESCRIPTION
           Disptype is used to determine the type of the Bull-SPS9
           display disp(7).  It is typically used in shell command
           files such as .profile or .login to help set terminal
           characteristics.

           The file descriptor associated with the standard input is
           tested to determine the type of the display.  With no
           arguments, a decimal number is printed on the standard
           output, representing the following display types:

                0    monochrome, 768x1024, V1 keyboard

                1    monochrome, 1024x800, V1 keyboard

                2    monochrome, 1024x800, V2 keyboard

           The options are interpreted as follows:

                -l   Print the long descriptive information instead of the number.

                -s   Silent; just return exit codes, printing nothing.

      DIAGNOSTICS
           Exit code 0 is returned if the standard input is a Bull-SPS9
           display; the exit code is 1 if it is not a Bull-SPS9
           display, and it is 2 for a bad argument.
