HP-UX 11i Version 2 Release Notes (October 2003)

Commands and System Calls
The pstat_getfile() Interface (Obsolete)
Chapter 8
198
Performance
This change has no impact on system performance. User programs who previously had to
use kernel driver ioctl() functions to memory map I/O or configure DMAs will be able
to perform these tasks more quickly.
Documentation
The mmap() function’s manpage, mmap (2), now documents the MAP_IO flag along with
the expected calling format.
Obsolescence
Not applicable.
The pstat_getfile() Interface (Obsolete)
The interface pstat_getfile() is obsolete and should not be used. It will be removed in
a future HP-UX release. The interface is used to get information specific to a particular
open file for a specified process. A second interface, pstat_getfile2(), should be used
in its place as it provides a much more scalable interface.
Transition Links Commands (Deprecated)
The “Upgrade” product which contains the transition links management tools will be
removed from the next HP-UX release. The transition links (tlinks) management tools
were intended to be temporary transition tools for application migration from HP-UX 9.x
to HP-UX 10.x file system layout. The following transition links management tools are
being deprecated and will become obsolete in post-HP-UX 11i v2 releases:
• tlinstall
• tllist
• tlremove
