• Configure ATM software
• Understand how the different kernel interfaces operate
• Write a kernel module
This manual does not describe the application programming interface (API)
that user-level applications would use to access the ATM subsystem. This
manual is not an ATM networking tutorial.
4.1.3 Calling Standard for Alpha Systems
The Calling Standard for Alpha Systems manual defines the requirements,
mechanisms, and conventions used in the interface that supports procedure
calls on Tru64 UNIX for Alpha systems. The standard defines data
structures, constants, algorithms, conventions, methods, and functional
interfaces, which enable a native, user-mode procedure to operate correctly
in the multilanguage and multithreaded Tru64 UNIX environment on Alpha
hardware.
Although this manual primarily defines requirements for compiler and
debugger writers, the information applies to procedure calling for all
programmers at all levels of programming.
4.1.4 Cluster Highly Available Applications (revised)
The online version of the Cluster Highly Available Applications manual is
included with the programming information because it contains information
of interest to programmers. The printed version is included in the Tru64
UNIX media kit and with the TruCluster Server product. See Section 2.1.9
for information about this manual.
See Section 3.1.4 for information about this manual.
4.1.5 Compaq C Language Reference Manual (revised)
The Compaq C Language Reference Manual (previously called the DEC
C Language Reference Manual) provides reference information for
using the Compaq C language on Compaq systems. Compaq C is an
ISO/ANSI-compliant C compiler for Tru64 UNIX and OpenVMS, VAX, and
Alpha systems.
The C language is based on the ISO C Standard (ISO 9899:1990[1992]),
formerly the ANSI X3J11 committee’s standard for the C programming
language (commonly called ANSI C). This manual describes all library
functions and language extensions to the ANSI C standard.
