Emerson 4620 A

System Management Interface Based on HPI-B (Centellis 4620) User’s Guide (6806800D85A) 39

AExample Applications

The HPI-B client base package contains precompiled example applications. They are invoked

via the command line and can be configured via command line parameters. Each example

application illustrates a certain feature of HPI-B and makes use of the respective HPI-B function

calls.

After extracting the HPI-B client RPMs, the example applications can be found in the following

directory: /opt/motorola/bin. You can obtain information about the command usage by

invoking the application from the command line and providing -h as parameter.

In order to ease application development and help you to get familiar with the HPI-B API usage,

Emerson provides the source files of the example applications and an example make file. These

files are available as different RPM files, depending on the operating system and CPU

architecture. The naming scheme used for the RPMs is: bbs-hpib-clientsrc-

<version>-1.<CPU architecture>-<distribution>-<os>.rpm

After installing the RPMs, the source files and the example make file are located in the following

directory: /opt/motorola/src/bbs-hpib/clients.

The following is an automatically generated output (based on the files contained in

/opt/motorola/bin and the output obtained via the -h parameter) that describes all HPI example

applications which were available when this manual was written and the usage of these

applications. Note that in the meantime further example applications may have been added or

the functionality of existing HPI example applications may have been changed slightly. The

current usage and fucntionality can always be obtained by invoking the example application

with the -h parameter.

The HPI-B example programs are provided "as is" without any warranty of any kind,

either express or implied. The entire risk as to the quality, operability and execution of

the programs is with you. Should the programs prove to be faulty or incorrect, you

assume the cost of all necessary servicing, repair or correction. In no event Emerson

will be liable to you for any damages, any lost profits or other special, incidental or

consequential damages arising out of the use or inability to use the programs.

Emerson reserves the right to revise or remove the programs in subsequent releases

without obligation of Emerson to notify any person of such revision or changes.
