rld library
rld library. A library that loads position-independent code (PIC) programs and their
associated dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). The
rld library also provides the dlopen(),
dlclose(), dlresultcode(), dlsys(), and dlerror() functions.
rms. See root mean square (rms).
robot. A media-changer device that transfers a tape cartridge to a tape drive for use and
then returns the cartridge to the storage cell.
root. See root fileset and root directory. See also super ID.
root directory. In the Open System Services (OSS) file system and Network File System
(NFS), a directory associated with a process that the system uses for pathname
resolution when a pathname begins with a slash (
/) character.
root fileset. For the Open System Services (OSS) file system, the fileset with the device
identifier of 0, normally containing the root directory. HP recommends that this fileset
be named
root.
root mean square (rms). A measurement method used to determine the direct current
(DC) equivalent value for alternating voltage and current waveforms. The rms method
refers to the process of sampling a waveform, squaring the samples, averaging the
samples (mean value) over the period from one cycle, and then calculating the square
root of the samples. In general, rms-sensing devices are more accurate than averaging
meters. Measurements from averaging meters can be as low as 30 percent of the
actual current for loads with high crest factors.
root user. See super ID.
router. See ServerNet router.
router 1. See ServerNet router 1.
router 2. See ServerNet router 2.
RPC. See Remote Procedure Call (RPC).
RS-232. An industry standard for serial data transmission. It describes pin assignments,
signal functions, and electrical characteristics. The current standard specifies a 25-pin
connector.
RS-449. An industry standard for serial data transmission. It specifies pin assignments,
signal functions, electrical characteristics, and a 37-pin connector with an optional
9-pin connector for a secondary channel.
run-time data unit (RTDU). The region of a TNS object file used to store SQL/MP source
and object code. It contains embedded SQL information for clients of SQL/MP. Source
RTDUs are created when a program file using embedded SQL/MP is initially compiled
and linked. Object RTDUs are added to the program when the file is SQL-compiled.
