The -set and -change Options
The -set and -change Options
The -set option is used to set certain items in the file being created. These items are
called “file attributes”. The following chart lists the file attributes and tells what they
mean, usually telling the name of the section of this document that provides more
explanation. Each of the attributes is specified together with a parameter to tell the
value of the attribute.
Table 4-1. The -set and -change Options
Attribute Attribute Meaning
data_model For this attribute, allowed values are: ilp32,
lp64, and neutral.
See eld Functionality for 64-Bit
on
page 4-12.
systype Specifies the target platform personality. See
Target Platforms
on page 2-2.
libname Specifies the user library name.
highpin
highrequestors
oktosettype
runnamed
saveabend
user_buffers
For these attributes the possible values are
“ON” or “OFF”. These attributes correspond
to flag bits in the .tandem_info section. The
default is ON for highpin and highrequestors,
and OFF for runnamed, saveabend, and
oktosettype. There are several synonyms for
“highrequestors”.
oktosettype For this attribute the possible values are
"ON" and "OFF". For compatibility with the
past,
eld accepts this attribute and checks
its syntax, but otherwise this attribute is
ignored.
inspect For this attribute the possible values are
“ON” and “OFF”. This determines which
debugging facility is made available.
(Internally the corresponding value within the
flags field of the .tandem_info section of the
file is INSPECT_SUBSYSTEM or GARTH,
respectively.) With a TNS/E native file, “ON”
will either start a Visual Inspect session or
pass the file to an already established
session. “OFF” will start Native Inspect.
