New Linux Compatible API Library
Chapter 7104
New Linux Compatible API Library
HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 (B.11.20) includes the new libhplx library.
libhplx contains the linux C library (glibc) APIs that are not available
on HP-UX.
This library was previously distributed as part of the Linux Porting
Toolkit CD. By making it available in HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 (B.11.20),
applications can link dynamically to this library, simplifying porting and
packaging Linux applications. The library also includes some APIs
expected to be added to Unix standards in the future.
The libhplx library takes 1.1 MB disk space in the /usr/local
directory.
