If you are marketing, installing, operating, or using the diverse OpenEdition
for VM/ESA function, this book is of value to you.
OpenEdition for VM/ESA is the VM/ESA implementation of IEEE POSIX standards
for system interfaces and threads. Included in these services is a
POSIX-compliant file system known as the Byte File System (BFS). BFS, a
companion to the CMS Shared File System (SFS), provides a byte-stream view of
files as opposed to the existing record-oriented view. The BFS allows data
to be organized and used in a UNIX style and format.
OpenEdition Shell and Utilities provides the POSIX.2 command interpreter and
command set. The shell is a command processor that is used to run commands,
utilities, request services from the system, execute shell scripts, and run
POSIX C applications interactively in the foreground or background.
Basic knowledge of VM and the UNIX world is needed. |
