NAME

ada.unlock − unlock an Ada library

SYNOPSIS

ada.unlock libraryname

DESCRIPTION

Ada.unlock removes all locks on an Ada library. 

It is intended that ada.unlock be used to remove inappropriate locks.  Such locks might be left by abnormally terminated components of the Ada compilation system or by system crashes. 

Extreme care must be used when unlocking an Ada library.  If any component of the Ada compilation system is reading the Ada library, removing locks may cause that component to encounter internal inconsistencies and fail.  In addition, if any component of the Ada compilation system is updating the Ada library, removing locks may cause that component to corrupt the Ada library and fail. 

Environment Variables

There are two environment variables (ADA_PATH and ADA_PREDEF_LIB) associated with all components of the the Ada compilation system.  Both must be set properly and exported, before any component of the Ada compilation system (including ada.unlock) can be used (see ada(1), Environment Variables). 

DIAGNOSTICS

Ada.unlock returns exit status 0 if the Ada library was successfully unlocked, otherwise a diagnostic is issued and a non-zero exit status is returned. 

AUTHOR

Ada.unlock was developed by HP and Alsys.
