Developing Applications Using the MPE/iX Shell and Utilities

Application development using libraries provided with the MPE/iX Developer's Kit must be accomplished through the MPE/iX Shell and Utilities, a command interpreter that provides a set of commands and utilities useful for application development. The MPE/iX Shell is based on the Korn Shell, a command interpretor available on many computer systems.

To invoke the MPE/iX Shell from the MPE/iX Command Interpretor (CI), enter either of the following at the CI prompt:

  :RUN SH.HPBIN.SYS;INFO="-L"

  :SH.HPBIN.SYS -L

	NOTE: The L must be entered in uppercase.

For more information about the MPE/iX Shell and Utilities, refer to the following manuals:

Compiling and linking an application that requires libraries available through the MPE/iX Developer's Kit must be accomplished through the c89 command available in the MPE/iX Shell. For detailed information about using the c89 command, refer to the MPE/iX Shell and Utilities Reference Manual, Volumes 1 and 2 (36431-60001).
