release version update (RVU)
release version update (RVU). A collection of compatible revisions of HP NonStop
operating system software products, identified by an RVU ID, and shipped and
supported as a unit. An RVU consists of object modules, supporting files, and
documentation for product revisions. An RVU also includes a set of documentation for
the overall RVU.
RISC. See reduced instruction-set computing (RISC).
RISC instructions. See MIPS RISC instructions.
RVU. See release version update (RVU).
shared code. See PIC (position-independent code).
shared run-time library (SRL). A collection of procedures whose code and data can be
loaded and executed only at a specific assigned virtual memory address (the same
address in all processes). SRLs use direct addressing and do not have run-time
resolution of links to and from the main program and other independent libraries.
Compare to dynamic-link library (DLL).
SRL. See shared run-time library (SRL).
startup directory. Your current working directory at the time you invoked the nld utility.
symbols information. The tables in an object file that contain information for linking object
files and symbolic debugging programs using the Visual Inspect debugger or the
Inspect symbolic debugger.
system library. A logically distinct part of the HP NonStop operating system that consists of
user-callable library procedures and operating system procedures.
TAL. See HP Transaction Application Language (TAL).
TNS. 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. Compare to TNS/R.
TNS accelerated mode. A TNS emulation environment on a TNS/R system in which
accelerated TNS object files are run. TNS instructions have been previously translated
into optimized sequences of MIPS or Intel® Itanium® instructions. TNS accelerated
mode runs much faster than TNS interpreted mode. Accelerated or interpreted TNS
object code cannot be mixed with or called by native mode object code. Compare to
TNS mode and native mode.
TNS C compiler. The C compiler that generates TNS object files. Compare to TNS/R native
C compiler.
