How to access manual pages in QNX RTP.

Hi

I am new to QNX RTP. I have five questions to ask.

(1) In QNX RTP what do I write to get details about a system command say
“ls” ?

(2) How can I compile and execute C source code ?

(3) How can I compile and execute C++ source code ?

(4) Where can I find description of my above three queries ?

(5) Is there a Users’ Manual for QNX RTP anywhere ?

Thanks.

type ‘use ls’ where ls is a binary in your path. We embed usage
info in the binaries. This avoids tracking and revising man pages.


(2) How can I compile and execute C source code ?

cc -c dog.c -o dog. Read up on basic Linux gcc,g++ stuff.

(3) How can I compile and execute C++ source code ?

again its the same as linux. Make is the standard utility of course.
you will find a tech note on our common makefile convensions but
these are optional.

(4) Where can I find description of my above three queries ?

go to the GNU web site for nuts and bolts on make and gcc/g++.

(5) Is there a Users’ Manual for QNX RTP anywhere ?

Help covers QNX specific topics, but will not teach you basic
UNIX/POSIX concepts.

Thanks.

Dear James

(1) ‘use ls’ works fine.

(2), (3) and (4) I will download the basic info from GNU website.

On QNX RTP ‘Help’ or ‘HELP’ or ‘help’ did not work. Where do
I use or invoke this "Help’, or ‘HELP’ or ‘help’ ?

I have used Linux Slackware in past. I also know of books on POSIX
covering various commands. I am interested to find deatils about QNX
RTP.

Thanks.

Dig through the “Welcome” thing on the shelf over on the right
side of the screen. Lots of technical info, not much for people
new to not-Mac and not-Win systems.
