HP R4.2 def.h, def.h, application-name, application-name

A Summary of Commands mkheader

Description

The mkheader program creates an address in user memory for each script variable. This information is stored in an application-name def.h header file and is used in naming both the output file and the allocation program. The joint usage of the same header file enables the script to interact with the transaction state machine (TSM). The -eoption specifies exact string matches.

The mkheader program prompts an operator to enter three types of information at the system console. The information may be entered interactively or batched together in a single file. Interactive entries are ended by entering CONTROL + D . The system prompts for:

•Variable names

•Header file names in order of dependency

•Structure names with header file locations

When mkheader is entered with an argument (limited to 7 characters) for application-name, an application-name def.h header file is created for the output information. The mkheader program then prompts for three types of information which it uses in producing the output file.

•It prompts the operator for the name of one of the variables char, int, or short. Char is the only variable that requires a length (default = 1).

It then allocates space for the variables at the beginning of the allowable user memory and places this information in the newly created header file.
