NAME

ada.lslib − list the libraries in an Ada family

SYNOPSIS

ada.lslib [ -f | -b ] [ -I | -P | familyname ]

Remarks:

This command requires installation of optional Ada software (not included with the standard HP-UX operating system) before it can be used. 

DESCRIPTION

Ada.lslib lists the Ada libraries in the family specified. 

The user can request either a full or a brief listing of the libraries in the specified family.  The default is a brief listing. 

Only one of the options -f and -b, and one of the options -I, -P and familyname can be specified.  If no family is specified, the PUBLIC family is assumed. 

The following options are recognized:

-b Generate a brief listing. 

-f Generate a full listing. 

-I List libraries in the INSTALLATION family. 

-P List libraries in the PUBLIC family. 

Environment Variables

The environment variable ADA_PATH is associated with all components of the Ada compilation system.  It must be set properly and exported before any component of the Ada compilation system (including ada.lslib) can be used (see ada(1), Environment Variables). 

Locks

To ensure the integrity of their internal data structures, Ada libraries and families are locked for the duration of operations that are performed on them.  Normally Ada families are locked only briefly when libraries within them are manipulated.  However, sometimes multiple Ada libraries must be locked for longer periods during a single operation.  If more than one library must be locked for a single operation, at most one library is locked for updating and all other locked libraries are locked for read-only. 

An Ada family or library locked for updating cannot be accessed in any way by any part of the Ada compilation system except by the locking agent.  An Ada family or library locked for reading can be accessed by any part of the Ada compilation system for read-only purposes. 

If ada.lslib cannot obtain a lock after a suitable number of retries, it displays an informational message and terminates. 

Under some circumstances, an Ada family or Ada library might be locked, but the locking program(s) might have terminated (for example, due to system crash or network failure).  If you determine that the Ada family or Ada library is locked but should not be locked, you may remove the lock. 

Use ada.unlock(1) to unlock an Ada library and  ada.funlock(1) to unlock an Ada family.  However, unlocking should be done with care.  If an Ada family or Ada library is actually locked by a tool, unlocking it permits access by other tools that might find the contents invalid or might damage the Ada family or Ada library. 

DIAGNOSTICS

Ada.lslib returns exit status 0 if Ada libraries were successfully listed; otherwise, a diagnostic is issued and a non-zero exit status is returned.
