Accessing HDK documentation on SCO OpenServer 5

The HDK documentation is built with the SVR5 documentation tools. There are some internal structural differences between the two documentation sets, so SCO OpenServer 5 users must use different conventions to access this documentation:

• The HDK manpages can be installed on SCO OpenServer 5 systems and accessed with the hdkman, hdkapropos, and hdkwhatis commands. These commands are included in the special patch for SCO OpenServer 5 that is provided on the HDK CD-ROM or available for downloading from the HDK website. The hdkman command gives ordering preference to SCO OpenServer 5 manual pages.

  The SCO OpenServer 5 man, apropos, and whatis commands do not find these pages.

• The SVR5/OpenServer Developer's Kit (UODK or UDK) includes a package of the SVR5 run-time and UDK manual pages that can be installed on SCO OpenServer 5 systems. The UDK also includes the udkman binary which can be used to access all UDK and HDK manual pages, with ordering preference given to the SVR5 manual pages.

For example, if both hdkman and udkman are installed, the hdkman cmn_err command gives the cmn_err(D3oddi) manual page (the SCO OpenServer 5 version) whereas the udkman cmn_err command gives the cmn_err(D3) manual page (the SVR5 version). You can specify the section with either command, so, for example, the hdkman D3 cmn_err command gives the cmn_err(D3) manual page and the udkman D3oddi cmn_err command gives the cmn_err(D3oddi) manual page.

The HDKdoc package that includes the non-manual page HDK documentation cannot be installed on SCO OpenServer 5 systems for local browsing. SCO OpenServer 5 users can access this documentation in any of the following ways:

• The most current documentation, including the HDK, can be viewed from the site.Product Documentationweb

• The HDK CD-ROM includes the full SVR5 documentation set in a format that can be read directly from the mounted HDK CD-ROM using the file: mode of any frames-aware browser on SCO OpenServer 5 or other systems.

• You may install the HDK documentation on any SVR5 system and access it from an SCO OpenServer 5 system using a frames-aware browser such as Netscape.
