Reserved prefixes

Most of the routines in the CERN library begin with one or two letters (three in the case of HPLOT) that identify the package. Collaborations wishing to avoid clashes may register two character prefixes with the CERN Program Library office.

N.B. the letter Z should be avoided as second character as this is used by ZEBRA routines.

The following convention is used.

Examples of Transarc naming conventions

The Andrew Distributed File System, commonly known as afs, supports a special directory name known as @sys. If this is specified in a file or directory name, it will be automatically translated as shown in the table below. N.B. this table is not a complete list of all supported system types. The same convention is followed on the asis01 ftp server at CERN.

If you have afs installed on your system, you may obtain the correct value of @sys as shown below:

Obtaining the value of @sys

zfatal:/home/cp/jamie/cernlib/doc (21) fs sysname
Current sysname is 'rs_aix32'

The CERN automatic installation system

A system has been developed at CERN for the automatic installation of CERNLIB sofware. This system currently runs on Unix systems only. It consists of the following components.

libserv

Script that permits a developer or installer to request the installation of a new source file, the compilation of a program or both. For example libserv put fatmen.car will install the file fatmen.car in the NEW area on asis01 and on the NEWPAMS disk on CERNVM (a copy is also made in CMZ format).

nfscp

This script is invoked when a client issues a libserv put command and copies the requested file to the target directories.

nfsmake

This script is invoked when a client requests that a program is compiled, e.g. by libserv compile kernlib.

asisserv

This is a slave script to nfsmake that is invoked on the target machines.
