2 Programming Environment
This section describes the format of RSC/MP function calls and constants, and the
RSC/MP programming environment.
Programming Languages
You can write RSC/MP applications in these languages:
•
For RSC/MP Win-32, any language that can support calling a standard Windows
DLL and provide necessary data types.
•
For RSC/MP SCO UnixWare, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, and Linux systems, any
language using the native C compiler.
The C programming language is the preferred development language for RSC/MP
application programs. Syntax and program samples in this manual are written in C.
The function names for other languages appear in brackets.
See Appendix B, Language Conversion for RSC/MP Function Calls, for language-
specific information and procedures for calling RSC/MP functions from other
languages. See Section 6, Application Development, for information and procedures
for compiling and linking an application.
Function Calls
Each function call for the RSC/MP application program interface (API) is described in
Section 10, API Function Descriptions, along with its syntax, parameters, and return
values.
