abi(5) -- Application Binary Interface
|
|
This man page is a quick reference for the three Application Binary Interfaces (ABI) that are supported by IRIX. GENERAL INFORMATION An ABI defines a system interface for executing compiled programs. It defines which Instruction Set Architectures (ISA) it supports as well as defining object file formats and calling conventions. IRIX supports three ABIs: o32 The old 32-bit ABI which was standard on IRIX 5 systems. n64 The 64-bit ABI which was introduced on IRIX 6.0 systems. n32 The new high perfo... |

array_services(5) -- overview of array services

|
In general, users should never have any direct interaction with the array services daemon. Instead, all interaction with the array services daemon is done through the array services library, libarray. libarray provides functions for dealing with global ASH's, describing the current array configuration, and executing array commands. There are a number of libarray functions, all of which are documented in chapter 3X man pages. Some of the libarray functions include: ASH Functions asal... |

auto_p(5) -- Automatic Parallelization
|
|
Parallelization is the process of analyzing sequential programs for parallelism so that they may be restructured to run efficiently on multiprocessor systems. The goal is to minimize the overall computation time by distributing the computational work load among the available processors. Parallelization can be automatic or manual. During automatic parallelization, the MIPSpro Automatic Parallelization Option, hereafter called the auto-parallelizer, analyzes and structures the program with little ... |

availmon(5) -- overview of system availability monitoring facilities

|
Once availmon is installed, "registration" is required before availmon reports are automatically distributed, and if desired, other options may also be configured. Registration of a system can normally be accomplished simply by enabling the flag autoemail using amconfig autoemail on. The default distribution of email reports is to send a diagnosis report to availmon@csd.sgi.com, which enters the report into the SGI Availmon Database. Further adjustments of Email distribution are described in t... |

compose is a mechanism for inputting accented international Latin characters through an international keyboard. A US keyboard with ASCII or compose specification can also be utilized for the international key input by using xmodmap(1) to assign the Right-Alt key or dead-key. To enter a composed character (consisting of a plain character and combining accent character) or a special symbol such as "copyright" through a keyboard, the following two methods are supported: + |

composetable is a list of all valid key sequences that can be used with the compose mechanism as described in compose(5). The list covers code points 0xA0 through 0xFF and several additional characters of the Unicode Latin 1 code page. The valid KEYSYMNAME (key map definition name) for the xmodmap(1) command is enclosed in less-than/greater-than signs (e.g., ). Note the distinction between an accent key such as and a dead-key such as . The Character Name indicates the ... |

The cpuset command is used to create and destroy cpusets, to retrieve information about existing cpusets, and to attach a process and all of its children to a cpuset. The cpuset command uses a cpuset configuration file and a name (see cpuset(4) for a definition of the file format). The cpuset configuration file is used to define the CPUs that are members of the cpuset. It also contains additional parameters required to define the cpuset. A cp... |

Each datapool item, when compiled, will be turned into a separate external symbol so it can be correctly associated with the same symbol declared in other program units without being affected by its relative order in the datapool. In one blockdata subprogram, and in only one, a datapool must be defined as to its exact number of items, sizes, and relative order. This will be used as the basis for sharing the datapool with other processes wishing to access the same data. Each blockdata can contain... |

On systems with mandatory access control (MAC) enabled, the set of all possible Mandatory Access Control (MAC) labels constitutes a lattice, where a lattice is defined to be a partially ordered set for which there exists, for every pair of elements in the set, a greatest lower bound (GLB) and a least upper bound (LUB). A partial ordering over a set is defined by a relation that has the following three properties: reflexive, antisymmetric, transitive. The reflexive property states that every elem... |
