Intro, intro - introduction to commands and application programs
This section indicates which package contains the commands
being described on this page. To be able to use the command, the indicated
package must have been installed with the operating system. For information
on how to add a package see pkgadd(1)
.
This section describes,
in alphabetical order, commands available with this operating system.
Pages
of special interest are categorized as follows:
- 1B
- Commands found only
in the SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package. Refer to the for more information.
- 1C
- Commands for communicating with other systems.
- 1F
- Commands associated
with Form and Menu Language Interpreter (FMLI).
- 1S
- Commands specific to
the SunOS system.
See these sections of the for more information.
- Section 1M in this manual for system maintenance commands.
- Section 4 of
this manual for information on file formats.
- Section 5 of this manual for
descriptions of publicly available files and miscellaneous information
pages.
- Section 6 in this manual for computer demonstrations.
For tutorial
information about these commands and procedures, see:
Unless otherwise noted, commands described in the SYNOPSIS
section
of a manual page accept options and other arguments according to the following
syntax and should be interpreted as explained below.
name [-option...] [cmdarg...]
where:
- Surround an option or cmdarg that is not required.
...- Indicates multiple
occurrences of the option or cmdarg.
- name
- The name of an executable file.
- { }
- The options and/or arguments enclosed within braces are interdependent,
such that everything enclosed must be treated as a unit.
- option
- (Always
preceded by a ‘-’.)
noargletter... or,
argletter optarg[,...]
- noargletter
- A single letter representing an option without an option-argument.
Note that more than one noargletter option can be grouped after one ‘-’ (Rule
5, below).
- argletter
- A single letter representing an option requiring an
option-argument.
- optarg
- An option-argument (character string) satisfying a
preceding argletter. Note that groups of optargs following an argletter
must be separated by commas, or separated by a tab or space character and
quoted (Rule 8, below).
- cmdarg
- Path name (or other command argument) not
beginning with ‘-’, or ‘-’ by itself indicating the standard input.
These command syntax rules are not followed by all current
commands, but all new commands will obey them. getopts(1)
should be used
by all shell procedures to parse positional parameters and to check for
legal options. It supports Rules 3-10 below. The enforcement of the other
rules must be done by the command itself.
.- Command names (name above) must
be between two and nine characters long.
.- Command names must include only
lower-case letters and digits.
.- Option names (option above) must be one character
long.
.- All options must be preceded by ‘-’.
.- Options with no arguments may be
grouped after a single ‘-’.
.- The first option-argument (optarg above) following
an option must be preceded by a tab or space character.
.- Option-arguments
cannot be optional.
.- Groups of option-arguments following an option must either
be separated by commas or separated by tab or space character and quoted
(-o xxx,z,yy or -o "xxx z yy").
.- All options must precede operands (cmdarg
above) on the command line.
.- ‘--’ may be used to indicate the end of the options.
.- The order of the options relative to one another should not matter.
.- The
relative order of the operands (cmdarg above) may affect their significance
in ways determined by the command with which they appear.
.- ‘-’ preceded and
followed by a space character should only be used to mean standard input.
getopts(1)
, wait(1)
, exit(2)
, getopt(3C)
, wait(3B)
Upon termination, each command returns two bytes of status,
one supplied by the system and giving the cause for termination, and (in
the case of ‘normal’ termination) one supplied by the program [see wait(3B)
and exit(2)
]. The former byte is 0 for normal termination; the latter is
customarily 0 for successful execution and non-zero to indicate troubles
such as erroneous parameters, or bad or inaccessible data. It is called
variously ‘exit code’, ‘exit status’, or ‘return code’, and is described only
where special conventions are involved.
Some commands produce unexpected
results when processing files containing null characters. These commands
often treat text input lines as strings and therefore become confused upon
encountering a null character (the string terminator) within a line.
