Programming Documentation

This chapter describes the documentation designed for software developers who write applications on or for the Tru64 UNIX operating system. The books in this category are generally geared toward advanced users. Each document is individually described.

Books that are printed can be purchased from Compaq in the documentation kits described in Section 1.5.

Except for a few externally published manuals, the documentation described here was produced by Compaq writers working closely with the developers of the Tru64 UNIX operating system.

Books identified as revised, were updated with the Version 5.1A release.

4.1 Printed and Online Documentation

The documentation described in this section is provided on the Tru64 UNIX Documentation CD–ROM and in the optional printed documentation kits. For more information on the printed documentation set, see Section 1.5.

4.1.1Assembly Language Programmer’s Guide

The Assembly Language Programmer’s Guide describes the Alpha hardware architecture’s assembly language, which is supported by the Tru64 UNIX compiler system. The manual describes the assembly language syntax rules, and how to write assembly language programs.

This manual is for system software developers who are writing assembly language programs on or for Tru64 UNIX.

4.1.2Asynchronous Transfer Mode

The Asynchronous Transfer Mode manual describes the Tru64 UNIX Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) subsystem, how to configure the subsystem, and how to use the ATM kernel interfaces. It is written for experienced UNIX kernel programmers who are responsible for writing ATM device drivers and kernel modules. After reading this manual, a kernel programmer should be able to do the following:
