Table A-1 through Table A-4 show sample table entries and are followed by an interpretation
Table A-1 Table Entry Example 1
SunOS release 4 Command |
SunOS release 5.7 Status |
Alternative Available and Notes |
BSD |
---|---|---|---|
fasthalt (8) |
A |
The init 0 command provides similar capabilities |
S |
The fasthalt command is not available in the Solaris 7 base release. This command is available if you install the SunOS/BSD Compatibility package on your system. The init 0 command replaces fasthalt. If you use the compatibility package fasthalt command in scripts or applications, they will not work on other SVR4 systems. Compatibility package commands can be found in /usr/ucb on systems that have this package installed, and they are documented in section 1B of man Pages(1): User Commands; for example, fasthalt (1B).
Table A-2 Table Entry Example 2
SunOS release 4 Command |
SunOS release 5.7 Status |
Alternative Available and Notes |
BSD |
---|---|---|---|
cc (1V) |
N |
The C compiler is only available with the C language unbundled tools. |
C |
The C compiler is not available in the SunOS release 5.7 software. A C compiler is available with the SunOS/BSD Compatibility package, but it requires the unbundled C compiler and does not provide the same interface and output as the SunOS release 4 compiler.
Table A-3 Table Entry Example 3
SunOS release 4 Command |
SunOS release 5.7 Status |
Alternative Available and Notes |
BSD |
---|---|---|---|
date (1V) -- SysV |
S |
|
N |
date (1V) |
C |
The format used when setting the date is slightly different in SunOS release 5.7. See the date(1) man page for more information. |
N |
The SunOS release 4 software had two date commands: /usr/5bin/date (compared in the SysV entry) and /usr/bin/date (compared in the second entry). The /usr/5bin/date command is identical to the SunOS release 5.7 command. If you had /usr/5bin in your path before /usr/bin, you will not notice any difference in this command in the SunOS release 5.7 software. If you are accustomed to using the SunOS release 4 /usr/bin/date command, you should look at the SunOS release 5.7 date (1) man page before attempting to set the date on your system.
