map DEFINE
map DEFINE. A map DEFINE redirects or substitutes files in the Guardian environment.
You can enter the logical name of a map DEFINE in place of a physical file name in
contexts that allow it.
MIPS RISC instructions. Register-oriented 32-bit machine instructions in the MIPS-1 RISC
instruction set that are native to and directly executed on TNS/R systems. MIPS RISC
instructions do not execute on TNS systems. Compare to TNS instructions.
Accelerator-generated MIPS RISC instructions are produced by accelerating TNS
object code. Native-compiled MIPS RISC instructions are produced by compiling
source code with a TNS/R native compiler.
native C compiler. See TNS/R native C compiler.
native mode. See TNS/R native mode.
native object code. See TNS/R native object code.
native object file. See TNS/R native object file.
native object file tool. See noft utility.
native process. A TNS/R native process.
native user library. See TNS/R native user library.
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 ld utility.
node. (1) A uniquely identified computer system connected to one or more other computer
systems in a network. (2) An endpoint in a ServerNet fabric, such as a processor or
ServerNet addressable controller (SAC).
noft utility. A utility that reads and displays information from TNS/R native object files.
non-PIC (non-position-independent code). Executable code that must be modified to run
at different virtual addresses. Compare to PIC (position-independent code).
NonStop operating system. See HP NonStop operating system.
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 might be a complete program that is ready for immediate execution,
or it might be incomplete and require binding with other object files before execution.
option. In a UNIX or HP NonStop™ Open System Services (OSS) command, a flag and its
parameters or a flag without parameters.
OSS. See option.
