Descriptions of OpenVMS Manuals
9.2 Manuals in the OpenVMS Documentation Set
Compaq C Run-Time Library Utilities Reference Manual
Provides detailed usage and reference information about the Compaq C Run-Time
Library utilities for managing localization and time zone data in international
software applications.
Compaq Portable Mathematics Library
Documents the mathematics routines in the Compaq Portable Mathematics
Library (DPML), supplied only with OpenVMS Alpha systems. VAX programmers
should refer to the OpenVMS VAX RTL Mathematics (MTH$) Manual.
DECamds User’s Guide
Provides information for installing and using the DECamds software. DECamds
is a system management tool that lets you monitor, diagnose, and track events in
OpenVMS system and OpenVMS Cluster environments.
DEC Text Processing Utility Reference Manual
Describes the DEC Text Processing Utility (DECTPU) and provides reference
information about the EDT Keypad Emulator interfaces to DECTPU.
Extensible Versatile Editor Reference Manual
Contains command reference information about the EVE text editor. Also
provides a cross-reference between EDT and EVE commands.
Guidelines for OpenVMS Cluster Configurations
This manual provides information to help you choose systems, interconnects,
storage devices, and software. It can help you configure these components
to achieve high availability, scalability, performance, and ease of system
management. Detailed directions using SCSI and Fibre Channel in an OpenVMS
Cluster system are also included in this manual.
Guide to Creating OpenVMS Modular Procedures
Describes how to perform a complex programming task by dividing it into
modules and coding each module as a separate procedure.
Guide to OpenVMS File Applications
Contains guidelines for designing, creating, and maintaining efficient data files
by using Record Management Services (RMS). This manual is intended for
application programmers and designers responsible for programs that use RMS
files, especially if performance is an important consideration.
Guide to POSIX Threads Library
Describes the POSIX Threads Library (formerly named DECthreads) package,
Compaq’s multithreading run-time libraries. Use the routines in this package
to create and control multiple threads of execution within the address space
provided by a single process. Offering both usage tips and reference synopses,
this document describes three interfaces: routines that conform to the IEEE
POSIX 1003.1c standard (called pthread), routines that provide thread-related
services in nonthreaded applications (called thread-independent services or tis),
and a set of Compaq proprietary routines (called cma) that provide a stable,
upwardly compatible interface.
Guide to the DEC Text Processing Utility
Provides an introduction to developing DECTPU programs.
