4.1.6Guide to Preparing Product Kits (revised)

The Guide to Preparing Product Kits describes the procedures for creating, maintaining, and installing the collections of files and directories that make up a layered product kit. A kit is the standard mechanism by which layered product modifications are delivered and maintained on a Tru64 UNIX system. Kits are distributed on CD–ROM, diskettes, or tape for installation on customers’ systems.

This is the same manual that is included in the Tru64 UNIX Device Drivers Kit (Chapter 7).

4.1.7Guide to Realtime Programming

The Guide to Realtime Programming is for programmers who are developing realtime applications on Tru64 UNIX systems. It provides information on writing new realtime applications and porting existing realtime applications from other systems.

This manual does not present function syntax or reference information; the online reference pages provide that information.

This manual is for application programmers or system engineers who are already familiar with the C programming language. Readers should have experience with UNIX operating systems and with UNIX software development tools.

4.1.8Guide to the POSIX Threads Library
