- A beta copy of version 2.0 of lsof is available via anonymous ftp from
- j.cc.purdue.edu (128.210.9.2) in pucc/lsof2B.tar.Z. (Version 1.09 is
- still there in pucc/lsof.tar.Z.)
-
- Version 2.0 has the following changes from version 1.09:
-
- * It has multiple source and header files -- the monolith got too large.
-
- * It has support for System V. Caution: this is support for a very
- specific System V implementation, ETAV for the ETA-10P*. ETAV is a
- Release 3.1 derivative with the Lachman Associates, Inc. Streams TCP/IP,
- Release 3.0.
-
- The System V support groks Lachman sockets and streams, and is based on
- inodes, not vnodes. It _may_ be possible to extend it to other System
- V platforms, but I don't have the resources to do so.
-
- * It displays information about root and parent directories.
-
- * It displays information about executed text (AIX and ETAV) and library
- references (AIX only).
-
- * It has been tested locally under AIX 3.2, Purdue DYNIX 3.0.12, ETAV,
- HP-UX 8.x, NeXTStep 2.1 and SunOS 4.1.2.
-
- It has _not_ been tested under AIX 3.1.x, any other DYNIX, HP-UX 7.x,
- NeXTStep 2.[02] or 3.0, or any other SunOS. I no longer have access to
- these platforms.
-
- While I've been developing 2.0, I've been putting lsof2B.tar.Z copies on j.cc
- and I've noticed that people have been accessing it. If you're one of those
- eager people, I think you should refresh your copy and watch j.cc for updates.
