signal handler
output has occurred. See also OSS signal, TNS signal, TNS/R native signal, and
TNS/E native signal.
signal handler. A procedure that is executed when a signal is received by a process.
snapshot. An image of the process, its data, and its status at the moment it was saved. In
Inspect, a snapshot, referred to as a save file, is created using the SAVE command.
In Visual Inspect, a snapshot is created using the Save Snapshot command. If the
SAVEABEND attribute for a process is ON and the process abends, the snapshot file
server INSPSNAP creates a snapshot (file code 130). Both Visual Inspect and Inspect
can be used to debug snapshots.
SRL. See “shared run-time library (SRL).”
status message. The informational message that Inspect displays when a debug event
occurs.
StmtDebug. An accelerator option that directs the accelerator to optimize instructions only
within the code produced for any one statement. Instructions are not optimized across
statements. This option typically produces less-optimized code than the ProcDebug
option. However, debugging is easier than with the ProcDebug option because the
beginning of every statement in the source program is a memory-exact point. Contrast
with ProcDebug.
Stop state. The execution state describing a program immediately after it completes
execution (whether normally or abnormally).
super ID. On HP NonStop systems, a privileged user who can read, write, execute, and
purge all files on the system. The super ID is usually a member of a system-supervisor
group.
The super ID has the set of special permissions called appropriate privileges. In the
Guardian environment, the structured view of the super ID, which is (255, 255), is most
commonly used. In the Open System Services (OSS) environment, the scalar view of
the super ID, which is 65535, is most commonly used.
symbol. (The symbolic name of a value, typically a function entry point or a data location. In
the context of loadable libraries, symbols are defined in loadfiles and referenced in the
same or other loadfiles.
symbols region. See Inspect region
.
TCP. A process that is responsible for managing PATHWAY application terminals and
executing the pseudo-instructions in PATHWAY requester programs. A PATHWAY
requester is composed of a PATHWAY requester program and the TCP executing it.
TNS. Refers to fault-tolerant HP computers that support the HP NonStop operating system
and are based on microcoded complex instruction-set computing (CISC) technology.
TNS systems run the TNS instruction set. Contrast with TNS/R
and TNS/E.
