Documentation Overview
This section addresses the following topics:
• “Before You Begin” (page 10)
• “Accessing HP-UX Linker Online Help” (page 10)
• “Related Information” (page 10)
Before You Begin
Before you begin to use the HP-UX Linker Online Help, complete the following steps:
1. To open an HTML browser, set the DISPLAY environment variable to graphic mode.
2. Set the BROWSER environment variable to point to the location of your HTML browser. If
you do not set the environment variable, the linker automatically runs the browser located
at:
/opt/mozilla/mozilla
or
/opt/ns-navgold/bin/netscape
or
/opt/ns-communicator/netscape
Accessing HP-UX Linker Online Help
To access the Linker online help on a system on which the HP-UX Linker is installed, enter the
following command:
/usr/ccs/bin/ld +help
This command opens a web browser and displays the main page of the HP-UX Linker online
help system.
If the browser path set by the BROWSER environment variable does not exist, or if the default
browser paths /opt/mozilla/mozilla, /opt/ns-navgold/bin/netscape or /opt/
ns-communicator/netscape do not exist, the system displays a message that the BROWSER
environment variable must be set properly.
