Loadfiles A - HP eld Manual

Glossary
the processor generates a fault to allow software to find and load the missing entry
from a memory-management structure.
TNS/E object file format. This object file format is an amalgam of Intel IA-64 code
architecture and the HP NonStop operating system extensions.
TNS/E object files are categorized into three types of files: linkfiles, loadfiles, and
import libraries. The following are key differences between TNS/R and TNS/E
platforms:

User library. A loadable library; primarily a legacy feature for NonStop systems. For PIC
programs, a user library is a DLL treated as if it were the first library in the
program's libList and therefore is searched first for symbols required by the
program. However, a user library does not appear in the program's libList; instead,
its name is recorded in the program's loadfile as the libname attribute. A program
can be associated with at most one user library; the association can be specified
using the linker at link time or in a later change command, or at run time using the
process creation interfaces. (The /LIB.../ option to the RUN command in TACL
uses these interfaces.)
VHPT. Virtual Hash Page Table: an Itanium® architecture feature that can supply missing
TLB entries without generating faults.
VPROC. The version procedure number used to identify which version of the product you
are using.
Zimpimp file.
The internal name of the imp-imp file. Also called the "import library that
represents the implicit DLL's", it is the file that tells which symbols are available in the
set of implicit DLL's, which collectively correspond to what was previously called the
system library. See also
