TNS/E native object file
TNS/E native object file. An object file created by a TNS/E native compiler that contains
Intel® Itanium® instructions and other information needed to construct the code
spaces and the initial data for a TNS/E native process.
TNS/E native process. A process initiated by executing a TNS/E native object file. Contrast
with TNS process.
TNS/E native signal. A signal model available to TNS/E native processes in both the
Guardian and Open System Services (OSS) environments. TNS/E native signals are
used for error exception handling.
TNS/E native user library. A user library available to TNS/E native processes in both the
Guardian and Open System Services (OSS) environments. A TNS/E native user library
is implemented as a TNS/E native dynamic-link library (DLL).
TNSVU. A tool used to browse through TNS object files that have been accelerated by the
TNS Object Code Accelerator (OCA). TNSVU displays Intel® Itanium® code in
addition to TNS code.
Total Information Manager (TIM). See HP NonStop™ Technical Library (NTL).
UID. A nonnegative integer that uniquely identifies a user within a node.
In the Open System Services (OSS) environment, the UID is the scalar view of the HP
NonStop™ operating system user ID. The UID is used in the OSS environment for
functions normally associated with a UNIX user ID.
User Code (UC). See TNS code space.
user code. A logically distinct part of the HP NonStop™ operating system that consists of
the code for user processes.
user database. A database within an HP NonStop™ node that contains the user name,
user ID, group ID, initial working directory, and initial user program for each user of the
node.
user ID. The unique identification of a user within a node.
In the Guardian environment, the term user ID usually means the structured view of the
HP NonStop™ operating system user ID. In the Open System Services (OSS)
environment, the term user ID usually means the scalar view of the HP NonStop™
operating system user ID—a number called the UID.
User Library (UL). See TNS code space.
user library. (1) An object code file that the operating system links to a program file at run
time. A program can have only one user library. See also TNS user library and TNS/E
native user library.
user name. A string that uniquely identifies a user within the user database for a node.
