HP E1433A User's Guide
The C-Language Host Interface Library
Header and Library Files
The /opt/e1432/lib directory contains several versions of the HP E1432A Host Interface library:
lib1432.a | A normal HP-UX archive library, used by host programs wanting to talk to HP |
| E1433A hardware. |
lib1432.sl | An HP-UX shared library, used by host programs wanting to talk to HP E1433A |
| hardware. This and the above archive library do exactly the same things. |
| Usually, host programs would use the shared library, because it makes the host |
| program smaller. |
libd1432.a | An HP E1485A downloadable library. This is untested and not supported at this |
| time. |
llib-l1432.ln | A lint library for the HP E1432A C-Language Host Interface Library. If you don’t |
| use lint (a unix tool for checking your source code for problems), you won’t care |
| about this file. |
An application using the HP E1432A C-Language Host Interface Library must link in one of these libraries, typically lib1432.sl. The HP-UX versions of the HP E1432A library use SICL to communicate with the HP E1433A hardware, so an application using the HP E1432A library must also link in the SICL library. Normally, this is found in /usr/lib/libsicl.sl.
Any application source code which uses any of the HP E1432A C-Language Host Interface Library functions must include the e1432.h include file, found in /opt/e1432/include. Internally, this file includes machType.h, which is also found in /opt/e1432/include. If the application refers to specific HP E1433A error numbers, it must also include err1432.h.
