/usr/lib/libld.a sputl sgetl equivalent for 11.23?

[Denver Osborn]

On 10.20 we had used sputl and sgetl from /usr/lib/libld.a which was supported until 11.0.

Does anyone know the equivalent sgetl and sputl on hp-ux 11.23?

thanks,

They're listed as declared in the man page for -- I wouldn't think you'd need anything special to link things from there [and if I'm wrong, I'll bet Dennis will quickly correct me].

There isn't any. It appears that libdl was for Starbase Display List?, which was removed.

You'll have to replace it by memcpy and make sure your input value is a lvalue.

Please contact the Response Center to have them either implement it or remove all mention of it.

Since they don't have a separate man page, they aren't supported.

Unfortunately it appears they never removed those prototypes from unistd.h and unistd(5) when they got rid of Starbase.

I filed QXCR1000760210 to get them removed from and unistd(4).
