The Missing AIX Documentation Project
Welcome to
AIX - All Intricacies eXplained
List of AIX commands lacking documentation:
- mkinstallp (create installable packages)
- imfs (create FS entries in /etc/filesystems)
- getlvodm (get LVM information from LVCB and ODM)
- ldeletepv (delete phantom disks from ODM)
- lqueryvg (lists various VG information)
- realpath (translate path to absolute form)
- dmpdt_chrp (dump OpenFirmware device tree)
- /usr/lib/nls/lstz (list timezone information)
If you want this list to be expanded, send me (or any other moderator) a message or post here. If you want to write documentation for a command: just do so. We will link your thread gladly to the command here so that your work is easily found.
