NAME

ada.unlock − unlock an Ada library

SYNOPSIS

ada.unlock libraryname

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.unlock removes all locks on an Ada library. 

It is intended that ada.unlock be used to remove inappropriate locks.  Such locks might be left by abnormally terminated components of the Ada compilation system or by system crashes. 

Unlocking an Ada library requires write permission in its parent family’s directory. 

Extreme care must be used when unlocking an Ada library.  If any component of the Ada compilation system is reading the Ada library, removing locks may cause that component to encounter internal inconsistencies and fail.  In addition, if any component of the Ada compilation system is updating the Ada library, removing locks may cause that component to corrupt the Ada library and fail. 

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.unlock) can be used (see ada(1), Environment Variables). 

DIAGNOSTICS

Ada.unlock returns exit status 0 if the Ada library was successfully unlocked.  Otherwise a diagnostic is issued and a non-zero exit status is returned. 

AUTHOR
