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

device name is dsk5, use the /sbin/hwmgr command to delete
the old database entries for each device. Specify the former
HWID for a device as shown in the following example:
# /sbin/hwmgr delete component -id 25
b. After the component is removed, you can delete the kernel's
record of its device special files as follows:
# /sbin/dsfmgr -R hwid 25
-dsk0a -dsk0b -dsk0c -dsk0d ... dsk0h
c. You can now move the existing device special files to their
new locations as follows:
# /sbin/dsfmgr -m dsk5 dsk0
RLIMIT_DATA Description in getrlimit(2) Reference Page Inaccurate (May 2007)
In the getrlimit(2) reference page, the description of the RLIMIT_DATA parameter incorrectly
references the mmap function. The correct text should read as follows:
RLIMIT_DATA
The maximum size, in bytes, of a process's data segment. Exceeding
this limit causes the brk(), malloc(), and sbrk() functions to fail
with errno set to [ENOMEM].
gethostbyaddr(3) and gethostbyname(3) Reference Pages Outdated (May 2007)
The gethostbyaddr(3) and gethostbyname(3) reference pages displayed on systems running Version
5.1B-1 (Patch Kit 3) or higher contain outdated information. The description for these functions
should read, in part, as follows:
To determine which file or files to search, and in which order, the system uses the
switches in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file.
For systems not running Version 5.1B-1 or higher, the switches in the /etc/svc.conf are used.
fread(3) Reference Page Indicates Incorrect Type Pointers (May 2007)
The synopsis of the fread(3) reference page incorrectly indicates that the size and num_items
parameters are pointers. The following synopsis shows the correct syntax:
size_t fread(
void *pointer,
size_t size,
size_t num_items,
FILE *stream );
size_t fread_unlocked(
void *pointer,
size_t size,
size_t num_items,
FILE *stream );
size_t fwrite(
const void *pointer,
size_t size,
size_t num_items,
FILE *stream );
size_t fwrite_unlocked(
const void *pointer,
size_t size,
size_t num_items,
FILE *stream );
