Table 3 FLOSS Commands and Description
DescriptionCommand/Helper Utility
as utility is a wrapper around the cc script. Most of the open source
packages check the presence of this utility, which is provided by the c89
for NonStop system. This wrapper is required for the package build to
go through seamlessly.
as
c++ is a wrapper that calls cc with the -Wcplusplus flag. This is
required for building open source packages as a separate utility.

cc is a wrapper script around c89. This script provides these features:

• Maps –lcurses to –lncurses, a NonStop specific workaround. Maps
–O to –Woptomize.

◦ —DSOCKLEN_T
◦ —D_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED=1

cpp
A linker wrapper around cc script. It provides the utility for linking, which
is done by c89 on NonStop systems.
Id
Wrapper script around NonStop system nm, which runs the NonStop

nm
Converts archives to random libraries. This script is required for many
open source packages. Invokes ar with -ts specified and standard output
