Development Environment
NonStop CORBA applications are implemented by Open System Services (OSS) processes in the OSS
environment of the NonStop Kernel operating system. The OSS environment coexists with the Guardian
environment and provides an independent alternative to it. OSS conforms to open computing industry
standards, specifically to the POSIX.1 (API) and POSIX.2 (shell/commands) standards. The OSS
environment provides a UNIX® personality to the NonStop Kernel, but unlike UNIX, OSS is not an
operating system. The NonStop Kernel is the operating system for both the OSS and the Guardian
environments.
OSS consists of the following major components:
File system: the OSS file system has a hierarchical structure similar to that of UNIX, composed of
directories, subdirectories, files, and pseudo-files such as links and pipes. The OSS file system
uses the flat Guardian file system.
●
Application programming interfaces (APIs).●
Run-time libraries.●
Command interpreter (OSS shell): the OSS shell is a POSIX.2-compliant command shell that is
based on the Korn shell.
