Notation Conventions

This manual uses the following notation conventions.

  • Italics introduces or defines new terms. For example:

The master disk is the name of the member disk from which the module was booted.

  • Boldface emphasizes words in text. For example:

Every module must have a copy of the module_start_up.cm file.

  • Monospace represents text that would appear on your terminal's screen (such as commands, subroutines, code fragments, and names of files and directories). For example:
change_current_dir (master_disk)>system>doc
  • Monospace italic represents terms that are to be replaced by literal values. In the following example, the user must replace the monospace-italic term with a literal value.
list_users -module module_name
  • Monospace bold represents user input in examples and figures that contain both user input and system output (which appears in monospace). For example:
display_access_list system_default

%dev#m1>system>acl>system_default

w  *.*

Key Mappings for VOS Functions

VOS provides several command-line and display-form functions. Each function is mapped to a particular key or combination of keys on the terminal keyboard. To perform a function, you press the appropriate key(s) from the command-line or display form. For an explanation of the command-line and display-form functions, see the manual Introduction to VOS .

The keys that perform specific VOS functions vary depending on the terminal. For example, on a V103 ASCII terminal, you press the and keys simultaneously to perform the INTERRUPT function; on a V105 PC/+ 106 terminal, you press the key on the numeric keypad to perform the INTERRUPT function.

Note: Certain applications may define these keys differently. Refer to the documentation for the application for the specific key mappings.

The following table lists several VOS functions and the keys to which they are mapped on commonly used Stratus terminals and on an IBM PC® or compatible PC that is running the Stratus PC/Connect-2 software. (If your PC is running another type of software to connect to a Stratus host computer, the key mappings may be different.) For information about the key mappings for a terminal that is not listed in this table, refer to the documentation for that terminal.

Online Documentation

Stratus provides the following types of online documentation.

  • The directory >system>doc provides supplemental online documentation. It contains the latest information available, including updates and corrections to Stratus manuals and a glossary of terms.
  • Stratus offers some of its manuals online, via StrataDOC, an online-documentation product that consists of online manuals and StrataDOC Viewer, delivered on a CD-ROM (note that you must order StrataDOC separately). StrataDOC Viewer allows you to access online manuals from an IBM PC or compatible PC, a Sun® or Hewlett-Packard™ workstation, or an Apple® Macintosh® computer. StrataDOC provides such features as hypertext links and, on the workstations and PCs, text search and retrieval across the manual collection. The online and printed versions of a manual are identical.

If you have StrataDOC, you can view this manual online.

For a complete list of the manuals that are available online as well as more information about StrataDOC, contact your Stratus account representative.
