Preface
HP-UX is the Hewlett-Packard Company’s implementation of a UNIX
operating system that is compatible with various industry standards. It
is based on the System V Release 4 operating system and includes
important features from the Fourth Berkeley Software Distribution.
The ten volumes of this manual contain the system reference
documentation, made up of individual entries called manpages, named
for the man command (see man (1)) that displays them on the system.
The entries are also known as manual pages or reference pages.
