native-mode library
native-mode library. A native-compiled loadfile associated with one or more other native-
compiled loadfiles. A native-mode process can have any number of associated native-
mode libraries.
See also TNS user library, TNS/R native user library, and TNS/E
library.
native-mode source code. High-level language routines that can be compiled with either
TNS/R native compilers or TNS/E native compilers. These two sets of compilers
accept the same language dialects.
native object code. See TNS/R native object code or TNS/E native object code.
native object file. See TNS/R native object file or TNS/E native object file.
native object file tool. See noft utility and enoft utility.
native process. See TNS/R native process or TNS/E native process.
native signal. See TNS/R native signal or TNS/E native signal.
nld utility. A utility that collects, links, and modifies code and data blocks from one or more
object files to produce a target TNS/R native object file.
See also Binder and eld
utility.
noft utility. A utility that reads and displays information from TNS/R native object files. See
also enoft utility.
NonStop Kernel. See HP NonStop operating system
NonStop Open System Services (OSS). An application program interface (API) to the HP
NonStop operating system and associated tools and utilities. For a more complete
definition, see Open System Services (OSS)
object code accelerator (OCA). See TNS Object Code Accelerator (OCA).
object code interpreter (OCI). See TNS Object Code Interpreter (OCI).
object file. A file generated by a compiler or binder that contains machine instructions and
other information needed to construct the executable code spaces and initial data for a
process. The file may be a complete program that is ready for immediate execution, or
it may be incomplete and require binding with other object files before execution.
OCA. (1) The command used to invoke the TNS Object Code Accelerator (OCA) on a
TNS/E system.
(2)
See TNS Object Code Accelerator (OCA).
OCA-accelerated object code. The Itanium instructions that result from processing a TNS
object file with the TNS Object Code Accelerator (OCA).
