Open System Services Shell and Utilities Reference Manual (G06.28+, H06.05+)

About This Manual
HP NonStop Open System Services (OSS) is partially derived from the Open Software
Foundation OSF/1 product version 1.2. The Open System Services Shell and Utilities
Reference Manual contains reference pages for OSS user commands and utilities.
Unless otherwise indicated in the text, discussions of native mode behavior, processes,
and so forth apply to both the TNS/R code that runs on G-series systems and to the
TNS/E code that runs on H-series systems. Discussions of TNS or accelerated code
behavior in the OSS environment apply only to G-series systems; H-series systems do
not support TNS or accelerated code execution in the OSS environment.
Audience
The Open System Services Shell and Utilities Reference Manual is intended for general
users of OSS as well as system and application programmers.
Purpose
The Open System Services Shell and Utilities Reference Manual provides a complete
description of OSS commands. It is intended primarily as a reference and not as a
tutorial.
Document Usage
This document contains 12 sections:
• Sections 1 through 10 contain reference pages for all user commands and utilities
included in the basic OSS product set.
• Section 11 contains reference pages for file formats related to the commands and
utilities.
