HP C Online Help

Prerequisites for using HP C Online Help

Before you can begin using HP C Online Help, you should review the following display and browser information. Some reconfiguration of your environment variables may be required.

Accessing HP C Online Help

To access the HP C Online Help, you must be logged onto a system where the most recent version of the HP C compiler is installed. Typing the following at the command line invokes an HTML browser, which displays the main HTML index file for the HP C Online Help system:

/opt/ansic/bin/cc +help

The actual location of the HTML files is:

file:/${CROOTDIR}/html/guide/${LOCALE}/c_index.html.

If the environment variable CROOTDIR is not set, the path will be formed relative to the compiler’s root directory; this is usually /opt/ansic. The previous section contains instructions on how to set CROOTDIR.

	NOTE: If the browser path set by the BROWSER environment variable does not exist, or if the default browser paths /opt/ns-navgold/bin/netscape or /opt/ns-communicator/netscape do not exist, then you must set the BROWSER environment variable appropriately.
