Open System Services Shell and Utilities Reference Manual (G06.27+, H06.04+)

About This Manual
Standard Key Sequences
A number of standard keystroke sequences are customarily used for general purposes.
For example, the Interrupt key sequence is used to interrupt and cancel the current
action, without proceeding further; you might use it to stop a command that is displaying
output you do not want on your screen.
The actual keys used are the same on most systems, but are not universal. For example,
the Interrupt key sequence is usually <Ctrl-c>, but not always.
The reference pages in this manual refer to these key sequences by name. In some cases,
the customary keystroke is then given. In the case of the two most common sequences,
the customary keystrokes are not given. The End-of-File key sequence, used to end user
input or otherwise complete an action, is usually <Ctrl-d>. The Interrupt sequence, used
to interrupt or cancel the current action, is usually <Ctrl-c>.
Begin by using these keystrokes for the End-of-File and Interrupt key sequences, and the
keystrokes listed in the text for the others. If these keystrokes do not have the desired
effect, consult the stty and tset reference pages or your system administrator.
Unsupported OSS Utilities
Unsupported OSS utilities are utilities that have been released, but not tested, by HP. HP
does not guarantee the behavior or performance of these utilities and is not obligated to
fix problems associated with them.
The unsupported utilities are in /bin/unsupported. Any documentation for the
unsupported utilities also would be in /bin/unsupported. To access reference pages for
unsupported utilities with the man command, add the following path to your
MANPATH or specify it as an alternative path using the -M flag with the man
command:
/bin/unsupported
A reference page for an unsupported utility includes text stating that the utility is
unsupported. Not all of the unsupported utilities are documented by reference pages.
