TNS/R native object file
TNS/R native object file. An object file created by a TNS/R native compiler that contains
MIPS RISC instructions and other information needed to construct the code spaces
and the initial data for a TNS/R native process.
TNS/R native process. A process initiated by executing a TNS/R native object file. Contrast
with TNS process and TNS/E native process .
TNS/R native shared run-time library (TNS/R native SRL). A shared run-time library
(SRL) available to TNS/R native processes in both the Guardian and Open System
Services (OSS) environments. TNS/R native SRLs can be either public or private. A
TNS/R native process can have multiple public SRLs but only one private SRL.
TNS/R native signal. A signal model available to TNS/R native processes in both the
Guardian and Open System Services (OSS) environments. TNS/R native signals are
used for error exception handling.
TNS/R native user library. A user library available to TNS/R native processes in both the
Guardian and Open System Services (OSS) environments. A TNS/R native user library
is implemented as a special private
TNS/R native shared run-time library (TNS/R
native SRL) .
TNSVU. A tool used to browse through TNS object files that have been accelerated by the
TNS Object Code Accelerator (OCA). TNSVU displays Intel® Itanium® code in
addition to TNS code. Contrast with application program interface (API) .
Total Information Manager (TIM). See HP NonStop™ Technical Library (NTL) .
UID. A nonnegative integer that uniquely identifies a user within a node.
In the Open System Services (OSS) environment, the UID is the scalar view of the HP
NonStop™ operating system user ID . The UID is used in the OSS environment for
functions normally associated with a UNIX user ID.
User Code (UC). See TNS code space .
user code. A logically distinct part of the HP NonStop™ operating system that consists of
the code for user processes.
user database. A database within an HP NonStop™ node that contains the user name,
user ID, group ID, initial working directory, and initial user program for each user of the
node.
user ID. The unique identification of a user within a node.
In the Guardian environment, the term user ID usually means the structured view of the
HP NonStop™ operating system user ID . In the Open System Services (OSS)
environment, the term user ID usually means the scalar view of the HP NonStop™
operating system user ID—a number called the
UID .
User Library (UL). See TNS code space .
