Using HP FTAM/9000

Generating FTAM Programs

Before using FTAM, you must include header ﬁles and link your

programs with the libmapftam.a and libmap.a libraries. Another

important library is the lint(1) library used for detecting bugs.

Header Files

In your *.c ﬁles (source ﬁles), you must have the following lines at the

beginning of your program to include the appropriate header ﬁles.

#include %</opt/ftam/include/map.h>

#include %</opt/ftam/include/mapftam.h>

libmapftam.a Library

To access FTAM services, link your application programs with the

libmapftam.a library. Compile your programs by executing the following

command. For information on using the cc command, refer to cc(1) in the

HP-UX Reference Pages.

lint(1) Library

A lint(1) library is available for use with the HP-UX programmatic

interface to FTAM. Using lint(1) saves time by eliminating costly

debugging effort. Although lint(1) does not detect all bugs, it can ﬁnd

some that general testing may not detect. To invoke lint(1), enter the

following command.

$ lint -ux filename.c -lmapftam -lmap

The -ux ﬂags are optional; they remove some unnecessary errors about

variables that are used, but not deﬁned or some errors that are deﬁned,

but not used. For more information, refer to lint(1) in the HP-UX

Reference Pages.
