If the device matches the given command line options, KErrNone is returned. If not, KErrNotSupported is returned. Note that the command will not print any error message in the case of the variant not being supported, so that it doesn't make script output untidy. If an error message is required, use the C<--verbose> option.

A symbolic name for the hardware variant may be specified instead of having to know the machine uid. This maximises compatibility with platforms that provide a custom variant.exe and/or that need more than just the machine UID to determine the variant. Check the platform-specific documentation for what variant string is used to identify that platform's hardware. If multiple variant names are specified KErrNone is returned if any one of them matches.
