HP Tru64 UNIX Technical Updates for the Version 5.1B and Higher Operating System and Patches (February 2010)

Do Not Edit .sme Files (Jan. 2007)
The sms.sme(4) reference page description says that the base.sme and clu.sme files should be
edited. In fact, you should not edit any .sme file.
Maximum Block Size in vdump Is 64 KB (Jan. 2007)
The vdump and vrestore commands were tuned to disallow block sizes greater than 64 KB
blocks. Therefore the description of the -b option in the vdump(8) reference page should say
“Specifies the number of 1024-byte blocks per record in the saveset. The valid range is 2 through
64 blocks; the default is 60 blocks per record.”
Quotes Missing from logger(1) Example (Nov. 2006)
The first example in the examples section of the logger(1) reference page should included quotation
marks around the argument as follows:
% logger -i "System rebooted"
class_disable(3) Synopsis Contains Error (Oct. 2006)
The synopsis section of the class_disable(3) reference page contains an error. The section should
read as follows:
SYNOPSIS
#include <apar_types.h>
#include <sys/class.h>
class_disable(
class_apar_handle_t handle );
clu_get_info(3) Contains Typographical Errors (Oct. 2006)
The clu_get_info(3) reference page contains two errors in the Examples section under
CLU_INF_MY_ID, where a zero (0) appears instead of a closing quotation mark. The correct text
should read as follows:
switch (retval) {
case 0: break;
case CLU_NOT_MEMBER:
case CLU_NO_CLUSTER_NAME:
case CLU_NO_MEMBERID:
case CLU_CNX_ERROR:
fprintf(stderr, "clu_get_info error");
exit(1);
default:
exit(1);
}
and
for (i = 0; i <= clugenptr->clu_num_of_members -1; i++) {
/* print or use the returned info; for example: */
printf("member hostname is %s", clugenptr->memblist[i].hostname);
}
Data Corruption Possible When Multiple Processes Use fopen( ) on Remote File Systems (Oct. 2006)
The fopen(3) reference page states the following about the fopen function:
[Tru64 UNIX] If two separate processes open the same file for append, each process
can write freely to the file without destroying the output being written by the
other. The output from the two processes is intermixed in the order in which it is
written to the file. Note that if the data is buffered, it is not actually written until
it is flushed.
