Installation guide

• Reference pages
Reference pages that describe the various DIGITAL UNIX commands
are on line. You can read the references pages on line by using the man
command, just as on an ULTRIX system. For example, enter the
following command at your system prompt:
% man man
This command displays the man command’s reference page.
The section numbers for some reference pages have changed. For
example, on ULTRIX systems, Section 4 describes special files. On
DIGITAL UNIX systems, Section 4 describes file formats. The following
list describes the sections that compose the DIGITAL UNIX reference
pages:
– Section 1 describes user commands.
– Section 2 describes system calls.
– Section 3 describes library routines.
– Section 4 describes file formats.
– Section 5 describes macro packages and conventions.
– Section 6 describes games and unsupported programs. As supplied
by DIGITAL, this section is empty.
– Section 7 describes special files.
– Section 8 describes system and network administration commands.
Also, the reference pages are stored under the /usr/share/man
directory on DIGITAL UNIX systems. On ULTRIX systems, the
reference pages are stored in the /usr/man directory.
• Remote system commands
The rdate, rlogin, rsh, rwho, and ruptime remote login commands
are the same as the ULTRIX equivalent commands. You can use these
commands to communicate with remote DIGITAL UNIX systems,
ULTRIX systems, and other systems that offer BSD network support.
For information about using these commands, see rdate
(1), rlogin(1),
rsh
(1), rwho(1), and ruptime(1).
• Remote file transfer commands
The ftp, tftp, and rcp commands are the same as the ULTRIX
equivalent commands. You can use these commands to transfer files
between DIGITAL UNIX and ULTRIX systems, and between DIGITAL
UNIX and other systems that offer Internet networking support. For
information about using these commands, see ftp
(1), tftp(1), and
rcp
(1).
