#swlist -l product what KernDevKit HP-UX Kernel Developer Kit?

[John Liu]

Dear HP-UX gurus:

Can I ask you a question?

I issued the following command as superuser

#swlist -l product

I got one entry as
.....
KernDevKit B.11.00 HP-UX Kernel Developer Kit
.....

What is it? How can I use it?

Thanks

John

Well, for starters, the command:

swlist -l file KernDevKit

will list all the files in this "kit". It is only a few include files. I am not sure what the intent of this kit is. But you can write c programs that use nlist(3) to obtain addresses from /stand/vmunix and then you can open(2) /dev/kmem and read stuff. I suppose that there are a few more bits of info that you can grab with this kit.

I hope that someone in the know posts a more definitive answer on the purpose of this kit. I have wondered about it for years.
