Network Service Access Point (NSAP)

Network Service Access Point (NSAP). The OSI generic standard for a network address

consisting of 20 octets. ATM has specified E.164 for public network addressing and the

NSAP address structure for private network addresses.

noninteractive mode. A mode of operation that usually involves a command file (an EDIT

file that contains a series of commands). See also interactive mode.

nonsensitive command. A command that can be issued by any user or program that is

allowed access to the subsystem—that is, a command on which the subsystem

imposes no further security restrictions. For SCF subsystems, nonsensitive commands

are those that cannot change the state or configuration of objects; most of them are

information commands. See also sensitive command.

NonStop TCP/IPv6. An HP product that adds IP version 6 (IPv6) functionality to the parallel

library TCP/IP product. IPv6 is a TCP/IP protocol that extends the IP version 4 (IPv4)

of 32 bits to 128 bits. NonStop TCP/IPv6 can be run in three modes: INET (only IPv4

and is a direct replacement for parallel library TCP/IP), INET 6 (only IPv6), and Dual

(both IPv4 and IPv6 communications).

NSAP. See Network Service Access Point (NSAP).

OBEY file. See command file.

object. (1) One or more of the devices, lines, processes, and files in an HP NonStop Kernel

subsystem; any entity subject to independent reference or control by one or more

subsystems. (2) In the SCF, a resource controlled by an SCF subsystem. SCF objects

include processes, disks, disk files, and data communications lines. Each object has

an object type and an object name. See also object type and object name.

object-code library. Synonym for library.

object code file. A file containing compiled machine instructions for one or more routines.

This file can be an executable loadfile for a program or library or a not-yet-executable

linkfile for some program module. On other systems, an object code file is also known

as a

binary

or as an

executable

object name. A unique name for an SCF object within an SCF subsystem.

object-name template. A name that stands for more than one object. Such a name

includes one or more wild-card characters, such as * (asterisk) and ? (question mark).
