C/C++ System Programming API for AIX
Hi,
I'm trying to locate the API information that is used for system programming on IBM's AIX operating system and other programming resources for AIX (language C/C++), I've had a look around the IBM website/Internet but I don't seem to be able to find anything that is up to date. This information is needed as I have to write some custom system software. I may also need to write some hardware diagnostic software and I don't seem to be able to find information about the P-Series hardware either.
Can anyone help ?
Is this information available for free or is it only available as a paid service from IBM ?
Apologies if these questions have been asked before, I couldn't find any similar in the forum.
Many thanks in advance.
Regards
Warlockuk

- provide truth value about processor type
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The following commands return a true value (exit code 0) if the a processor type matches the command name. Otherwise a false value (exit
code nonzero) is returned. These commands are commonly used within makefiles and shell procedures to improve portability of applications
(see make(1)).

EXAMPLES
Given a shell script that must behave differently when run on an HP 9000 Series 700 or 800 system, select the correct code segment to be
executed:
WARNINGS
always returns true on both Series 800 and Series 700 systems. Therefore, when using this command in scripts to determine hardware type,
always use both and in the appropriate sequence to ensure correct results (see
machid(1) will no longer provide support for future machines beyond the Series 800 and Series 700 systems. Decisions should be based on
the hardware and software configuration information returned by getconf(1).
