Standard Key Sequences
Some standard keystroke sequences are used for general purposes. For example, the
Interrupt key sequence interrupts and cancels 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 they 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 given. For 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>.
Use 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 HP has released, but not tested. 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 path /bin/unsupported to your
MANPATH or specify it as an alternative path using the -M flag with the man
command:
man -M /bin/unsupported -k keyword
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.
