NAME

intro − introduction to glossary section

DESCRIPTION

This section contains a glossary of common HP-UX terms.  References to other HP-UX documentation are included as appropriate.  References to entities such as wait(2), sh(1), or fopen(3S) refer to entries in the other sections of this manual. References to items in italics but having no parenthetical suffixes refer to other entries in this glossary. Any italicized manual names refer to separate manuals that are either included with your system or available separately.

The definitions specifically reflect the HP-UX operating system, although some terms and definitions are also derived from those in the emerging IEEE POSIX standards and the X/Open Portability Guide.  Differences in wording exist to more specifically reflect characteristics of the HP-UX system.
