Open System Services Porting Guide
Abstract
This guide describes the techniques for porting C and C++ programs to the HP
NonStop™ Open System Services (OSS) environment from other UNIX environments
or from the Guardian environment. It discusses differences in the environments,
considerations in porting to the OSS environment, and how to take advantage of the
OSS environment.

Supported Release Version Updates (RVUs)
This manual supports G06.25 and all subsequent G-series RVUs and H06.03 and all
subsequent H-series RVUs until otherwise indicated in a replacement publication.
Document History
New and Changed Information
This edition has been updated to reflect support for H-series software on the TNS/E
platform. Changes occur throughout the manual, primarily in discussions of compilation
and program development tools, including:
•
Differences between TNS/R and TNS/E implementations and behavior are noted
where appropriate.
•
Descriptions and examples of compilation tools, accelerators, linkers, and
debuggers are updated to include the TNS/E tools and linkers.
•
Descriptions of the OSS TNS environment are updated to note that the H-series
OSS environment does not support TNS tools and processes.
