Software Development Kit for the Java™ Platform
Tru64 UNIX provides the Compaq Software Development Kit (SDK) v 1.3.1 for the Java™ Platform. The SDK implements
Sun Microsystems' Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition (J2SDK), v 1.3.1.
The SDK includes the basic set of command-line tools, the Class Libraries, and virtual machine implementation needed to
develop and run Java applets and applications. The SDK also includes the Compaq Fast Virtual Machine (Fast VM) as the
default SDK VM. The Fast VM provides optimal runtime performance on Tru64 UNIX systems.
The SDK passes 100 percent of the tests provided in Sun's Java Compatibility Kit. The SDK is included as part of the Tru64
UNIX Operating System kit and is subject to the terms of the Base license for Tru64 UNIX, as well as the additional SDK
license.
Memory-Mapped File Support
Tru64 UNIX supports the Berkeley mmap function and, therefore, allows an application to access data files with memory
operations rather than with file input and output operations.
Shells
Tru64 UNIX provides the following shells:
POSIX shell
C shell
Bourne shell from System V
Korn shell
All shells are programmable and allow users to customize their environment.
Dynamic Loader
Tru64 UNIX uses an SVR4-compatible loader to dynamically load shared libraries. This loader provides SVR4 symbol
resolution semantics, including symbol preemption.
The COFF object file format is supported for all forms of object files.
Data Link Interface (DLI)
Tru64 UNIX provides a Data Link Interface to allow applications to directly use the data link layer services in order to interact
directly with the network device drivers.
Loadable Subsystems Framework
Tru64 UNIX includes the configuration manager framework, which allows dynamic loading (and configuring) of kernel
subsystems. The framework, composed of a configuration manager daemon (cfgmgr), a kernel loader daemon (kloadsrv), a
system configuration database (sysconfigtab), and its management utility (sysconfigdb), allows kernel modules (such as
device drivers) to be loaded after the system is booted.
Foreign Device Boot Support
Tru64 UNIX provides the ability for device driver developers to build and deliver single binary drivers that work at installation
time. This allows the device to be used during the installation process.
