SVIDII(7V)

NAME
svidii - overview of the System V environment

SYNOPSIS
/usr/5bin/lint -n -lsvidii sys5_src.c

AVAILABILITY

This command is available with the System V software installation option. Refer to for information on how to install optional software.

DESCRIPTION

SVID II is a set of functions and header files. The SunOS Release 4.1 implementation of SVID II is a superset — it includes all of the functionality described in the SVID issue 2 documents as well as most of the SunOS functionality. See the sunos(7) man page for a description of SunOS functionality.

All man pages that are associated with SVID II are marked by a “V” after the section number. Not all “V” pages are SVID II, however. Some “V” pages may be part of other System V based environments such as X/Open.

If a user desires to work in a SVID II environment, the user should set the path variable to include /usr/xpg2bin and /usr/5bin before anything else. The typical path is:

    set path=( /usr/xpg2bin /usr/5bin /bin /usr/bin /usr/ucb )

As a portability aid, Sun is providing two lint libraries that consist exclusively of SVID II functions as defined in the SVID issue 2. Users may lint their code with the -n -lsvidii options to catch all features that are not found in SVID issue 2, all volumes. Using lint with the -n -lsvidii-3 options is just like -n -lsvidii except that it does not include volume 3 (which contains new directory reading routines and new signal functions that appeared in System V release 3.2).
