API compatibility

Binary compatibility for SCO OpenServer

When compiling applications with the UnixWare and OpenServer Development Kit on UnixWare 7 for use on SCO OpenServer:

  1. don't use libc functions that don't exist on SCO OpenServer (these are listed in the table below); otherwise, you can use any of the functions that are part of the documented libc interface (documented on the Section 2 manual pages, Section 3C manual pages, and Section 3S manual pages)

  2. load the BCM for SCO OpenServer on the target system before attempting to run your application

The following functions defined in the UnixWare 7 implementation of libc do not exist in the SCO OpenServer implementation and should not be used in an application written for SCO OpenServer:
