notification
notification. A message that is generated by a resource managed by the Compaq TSM
package when something occurs that might affect that resource’s performance. There
are two types of notifications: TSM notifications and service processor (SP) event
messages.
NRT. See network routing table (NRT).
NSR-D processor. See HP NonStop™ System RISC Model D processor (NSR-D
processor).
NSR-E processor. See HP NonStop™ System RISC Model E processor (NSR-E
processor).
NSR-G processor. See HP NonStop™ System RISC Model G processor (NSR-G
processor).
NSR-T processor. See HP NonStop™ System RISC Model T processor (NSR-T
processor).
NSR-V processor. See HP NonStop™ System RISC Model V processor (NSR-V
processor).
NSR-W processor. See HP NonStop™ System RISC Model W processor (NSR-W
processor).
NSR-X processor. See HP NonStop™ System RISC Model X processor (NSR-X
processor).
NSR-Y processor. See HP NonStop™ System RISC Model Y processor (NSR-Y
processor).
null object type. A placeholder object type for the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF)
NAMES and VERSION commands, which do not require explicit specification of a
particular object type.
null string. In C and C++ programs, a character string that begins with a null character.
This term is synonymous with “empty string.”
OBEY file. See command file.
object. One or more of the devices, lines, processes, and files in a subsystem; any entity
subject to independent reference or control by one or more subsystems. In the
Subsystem Control Facility (SCF), each object has an object type and an object name.
object-code library. Synonym for library.
object file. A file generated by a compiler, binder, or linker that contains machine
instructions and other information needed to construct the executable code spaces and
initial data for a process. The file can be a complete program that is ready for
