B HP-UX command/system call
support
Several HP-UX commands and system calls support PRM in assigning
users and applications to the proper PRM groups. Other commands have
options that allow you to use PRM more efficiently. In either case, this
functionality is available only when PRM is configured. See the following
tables for information on these commands and system calls.
Table B-1 lists HP-UX commands and system calls that support PRM
groups. With HP-UX 11i v1 and later, most HP-UX commands and
system calls support PRM.
