Who Should Read This Manual

This manual is for programmers who want to customize applications in order to implement Messaging Server and Calendar Server.

What You Need to Know

This book assumes that you are a programmer with a knowledge of C/C++ and Java Messaging Service, and that you have a general understanding of the following:

How This Manual is Organized

This manual contains the following chapters and appendix:

Document Conventions

Monospaced Font

Monospaced font is used for any text that appears on the computer screen or text that you should type. It is also used for filenames, distinguished names, functions, and examples.

Bold Monospaced Font

Bold monospaced font is used to represent text within a code example that you should type. For example, you might see something like this:

./installer

In this example, ./installer is what you would type at the command line.

Italicized Font

Italicized font is used to represent text that you enter using information that is unique to your installation (for example, variables). It is used for server paths and names.

For example, throughout this document you will see path references of the form:

msg_svr_base/...

The Messaging Server Base (msg_svr_base) represents the directory path in which you install the server. The default value of the msg_svr_base is /opt/SUNWmsgsr.

The Calendar Server Base (cal_svr_base) represents the directory path in which you install the server. The default value of the cal_svr_base is /opt/SUNWics5.

Square or Straight Brackets

Square (or straight) brackets [] are used to enclose optional parameters.

Command Line Prompts

Command line prompts (for example, % for a C-Shell, or $ for a Korn or Bourne shell) are not displayed in the examples. Depending on which operating system you are using, you will see a variety of different command line prompts. However, you should enter the command as it appears in the document unless specifically noted otherwise.

Platform-specific Syntax

All paths specified in this manual are in UNIX format. If you are using Windows 2000-based Communications Services, you should assume the Windows 2000 equivalent file paths whenever UNIX file paths are shown in this book.
