To use the LibC SDK, you need the following:
A NetWare server running NetWare 5.1 SP8 or later, NetWare 6.0 SP5, or NetWare 6.5 SP2. We recommend that you always run the NetWare server with the latest available support pack.
A development workstation with the Libraries for C SDK installed and a network connection to a NetWare server. You will be copying files from the workstation to the server, and you can perform some remote debugging tasks from the workstation.
This manual assumes that you are familiar with the following:
C programming, and optionally C++ programming. All of the functions in LibC are C functions, which can be used in a C++ application.
Although the manual has reference pages for the standard ANSI and POSIX* functions, they are included to indicate that LibC supports the function rather than as a complete reference on how to use these functions. For such details, see a C programming manual.
The LibC manual should contain complete information on all implemented functions that are unique to LibC. If information is missing, please post a message to the newsgroup.
Multiprocessor, multi-threaded applications. LibC contains all the necessary functions (such as thread and synchronization) to create a multi-threaded application that runs on a multiprocessor machine. The LibC manual does not describe how to design such an application. Consult a thread manual for such details.
NetWare OS. This manual assumes that you have installed a NetWare server and are familiar with the NetWare management utilities. See the NetWare manual set for details:
