NAME | DESCRIPTION | INTERFACES |
This section outlines the formats of various files. The C structure declarations for the file formats are given where applicable. Usually, the headers containing these structure declarations can be found in the directories /usr/include or /usr/include/sys. For inclusion in C language programs, however, the syntax #include <filename.h> or #include <sys/filename.h> should be used.
Because the operating system now allows the existence of multiple file system types, there are several instances of multiple manual pages with the same name. These pages all display the name of the FSType to which they pertain, in the form name_ fstype at the top of the page. For example, fs_ufs(4).
Descriptions of shared objects may include a definition of the global symbols that define the shared objects' public interface, for example SUNW_1.1. Other interfaces may exist within the shared object, for example SUNW_private.1.1. The public interface provides a stable, committed set of symbols for application development. The private interfaces are for internal use only, and may change at any time.
For many shared objects, an archive library is provided for backward compatibility. Use of these libraries may restrict an applications ability to migrate between different Solaris releases. As dynamic linking is the preferred compilation method on Solaris, the use of these libraries is discouraged.
