- I have a huge program written for BSD systems (it runs fine on
- SunOs and Ultrix). I want to port it to HP/UX; when I tried to
- recompile, I got several problems. I do not have a HP doc set (yet),
- so if anyone would email me (at mlevin@presto.cs.tufts.edu) any
- information on the HP/UX equivalents to the following BSD issues, I
- would be very grateful. Here goes:
-
- 1. The macros for the wait3() call don't seem to work. On BSD, I used
- an argument of union wait *; it appears that on HP/UX the argument is
- an int. Can someone provide an example of a wait3() call on HP/UX
- followed by an example of the use of those WT* macros that extract the
- status from the wait3() result?
-
- 2. What is the deal with openlog() on HP/UX? How does it differ from
- openlog() on SunOs?
-
- 3. There doesn't seem to be a TIOCNOTTY constant for the ioctl() call.
- On SunOs, this constant tells the system you don't want to have a
- control terminal for this process. How do you do that on HP/UX?
-
- 4. There doesn't seem to be a flock() function. What is it's
- equivalent on HP/UX?
-
- 5. The constant HO doesn't seem to be defined in curses.h (it should
- contain the string which homes the cursor on a particular terminal).
- Where is it on HP/UX?
-
- 6. There doesn't seem to be a sys_siglist[] (a char ** array with the
- names of signals in it). Is there one?
-
- 7. There doesn't seem to be a setpriority() call. What is its
- equivalent on HP/UX?
-
- 8. What function does one use under HP/UX to test for the CPU type (in
- order to make sure a program is used only on the CPU for which it is
- intended)? What .h file contains the possible CPU type constants?
-
- If anyone knows the answers to any of these questions, please email me
- at mlevin@presto.cs.tufts.edu.
