man and system calls

[Andrew Black (delete obvious bit)]

Hi
I am having trouble finding various system calls in man
man shmget
Manual entry for shmget not found or not installed.

Do I need to install the manual pages for this, or is MANPAGE not correct

Should have added it is AIX 5.3

Works fine here (AIX 5.2): So prob. you need to install the man
page.....

=> # man shmget

Technical Reference: Base Operating System and Extensions, Volume

shmget Subroutine

Purpose

Gets shared memory segments.

Library

Standard C Library (libc.a)

Syntax

#include <sys/shm.h>

int shmget (Key, Size, SharedMemoryFlag)

key_t Key;

size_t Size

int SharedMemoryFlag;

Description

The shmget subroutine returns the shared memory identifier associated
with the
specified Key parameter.

The following limits apply to shared memory:

o Maximum shared-memory segment size is:
- 256M bytes before AIX 4.3.1
- 2G bytes for AIX 4.3.1 through AIX 5.1
etc. etc.

I've just looked through all 8 of my 5.3 CDs and I don't see filesets for
anything other than commands. I also checked installp/ppc/.toc on disk 1.
Am I missing something? My CD set is from 02/2005. I'm hoping not to
have to go through all the nonsense with letting installp read the CD
directly, because it's a real pain to move the CD-ROM around between the
LPARs.

Hopefully not - i started with AIX 5.3 base incl. 03 - according to the

? Why not copy ( with gencopy or smitty ) all CD into a large FS on a
LPAR and share it via nfs ? After an initial AIX installation ( 1 lpar
) i never use the cd-rom for other lpars.

Oh, I've already got a NIM environment; the problem is that I cannot be
assured everything is there because I did not create it and this
particular files seem to be missing. Okay, I just put CD1 into a drive on
one of my pSeries just to make sure I wasn't missing something and it's
not there.

Also, my commands package is infocenter.aix.EN_US.commands, not
infocenter.man.EN_US.commands.

(Similarly, matching on 'infocenter' only finds the ones mentioned above.)

Naturally, SUMA is useless too, regardless of whether I use 'man' or 'aix':

$ sudo suma -x -a RqType=Fileset -a PreCoreqs=n -a Ifreqs=n -a RqName=infocenter.man.EN_US.files -a Action=Preview -a Repeats=n

Once the infocenter filesets are installed, man will work for commands,
but not for libs. You can rectify this by going to
/usr/man/info/EN_US/a_doc_lib
and doing an ls -l. You'll find that cmds is there and points into
/opt/ibm_help/... What you have to do is add a similar link for
libs. Then man shmget will work for you.

And no, MANPATH doesn't seem to work.
