Porting CommKit Applications To Release 4.x
User-Level Compatibility
dkcat
The dkcat command is fully compatible with earlier releases of the
CommKit software and HP-UX. You do not need to change the use of dkcat
in your applications.
dkcu
The dkcu command is fully compatible with earlier releases of the CommKit
software and HP-UX. Applications that use dkcu need not change their
interface with the dkcu command.
NOTE: Long file names are not given special treatment with the %put and %take features of
the dkcu command. If a source file has a name longer than 14 characters and the target
system is running HP-UX 9.x, the file name is truncated.
As an added security feature, a restricted option (-r) is available to disable
the tilde escape sequences (with the exception of ~. and ~break) for dkcu.
This option is useful in controlling user access to systems by restricting the
escape sequence to disconnect or break only.
dkdo
The dkdo command is fully compatible with earlier releases of the CommKit
software and HP-UX. You do not need to change the use of dkdo in your
applications.
push and pull
The push and pull commands are fully compatible with earlier releases of
the CommKit software and HP-UX, but they have been enhanced to support
the transfer of symbolic links and long file names. You do not need to
change the use of these commands in your applications.
