(HP Integrity Systems Only)
NOTES: ARIES HP-UX 11i Version 3
1. As per the default core file format on HP-UX 11i Version 3, ARIES generates PA-RISC application
core file in new format using large utsname structure. See uname(2) for more details on the large
utsname structure. You need to use latest version of tools like
gdb to work with new format core file.
Use the ARIES option
-core_format to generate PA-RISC application core files in the old format.
Refer to the ARIES RESOURCE CONFIGURATION (RC) FILE: PASSING OPTIONS TO ARIES sec-
tion in this manpage for more information.
2. If the core file pattern and settings have been modified by the
coreadm() system call or by init
settings, then ARIES will follow the same naming pattern instead of writing the application core file
to core.PA-RISC_application_name. Refer to coreadm (2) and init (1M).
ARIES RESOURCE CONFIGURATION (RC) FILE: PASSING OPTIONS TO ARIES
Options to ARIES are passed through a resource configuration (RC) file.
• For 32-bit ARIES, resource configuration file name is
.ariesrc.
• For 64-bit ARIES, resource configuration file name is
.aries64rc.
Refer to the ARIES RC File Search Path section in this manpage for details on location and search order
for ARIES resource configuration file.
ARIES Resource Configuration File Format
The ARIES resource configuration file may contain multiple lines each with the following format:
<full-path-of-PA-RISC-application1> <aries-options>
<full-path-of-PA-RISC-application2> <aries-options>
# Below line specifies system wide ARIES options
/ <aries-options>
# ARIES wild card character is ’*’
<PA-RISC-application3-path-with-wild-cards> <aries-options>
...
...
Refer to the Example: ARIES Resource Configuration File section in this manpage for examples on ARIES
resource configuration file.
ARIES Resource Configuration File Processing Rules
1. Application path name and ARIES options must be separated by one or more white spaces.
2. Each non empty line must begin from first column.
3. ARIES options may be specified for multiple applications, each beginning on a separate line.
4. Relative paths and shell variables are not allowed.
5. An invalid ARIES option will result in process termination with error.
6.
# in first column is treated as comment and rest of the line is ignored.
7.
* is treated as wild card character and can be used in application path name.
8. ARIES wild card matching is based on simple text pattern match with no expansion of directory or
file name.
9. When using wild cards it is possible for multiple lines to match the current application. If this
behavior is not expected, then change your ARIES resource configuration file accordingly.
10. Application path name field must be one of following:
• Full absolute path of PA-RISC application executable.
• Root directory (
/), ARIES options on this line will be applied to all PA-RISC processes on the sys-
tem.
• PA-RISC application path with wild cards (
*).
• There can be only one wild card in directory path and executable name each.
• More than one wild card in either part of the pathname will result in process termination with
error.
• Valid examples are of such patterns as:
*/*, */foo*, */*foo, */f*o, and
/opt/app/*/foo*.
