STAMPLINKS(1M)     RISC/os Reference Manual      STAMPLINKS(1M)



NAME
     stamp_links - setup compiler/include/library links for a
          given version stamp

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/stamplinks [ -f ] stamp

DESCRIPTION
     stamplinks sets up symbolic links in /bin, /lib, /usr/bin,
     /usr/lib, /usr/new, /usr/new/lib, and /usr, so that any com-
     mand, directory, or data file whose name ends with stamp is
     pointed to by a symbolic link without the stamp.  This is
     usually used to change over to a different version of the
     compiler system, but may have other applications as well.

     The directory /usr/include is treated specially: all files
     found in the stamped include directory are copied into
     /usr/include.

     The stamp argument must be of the form digit.digit unless
     the -f option is given, in which case no checking is done
     with respect to the stamp contents.

     For example, if you are using compiler version 1.0, have
     recieved and installed version 1.1, and wish to make the
     default version 1.1, you would execute the command:

          stamp_links 1.1

SEE ALSO
     ln(1)

ERRORS
     Between compiler versions 1.1 and 1.11, there were some
     organizational changes, so that you can upgrade from an
     older compiler system to 1.11, but going the other way can
     not be done automatically.
