LN$SDA,UTILITIES, a SDA extension to display logical names LN$SDA is a SDA extension (using the API first documented for VMS V7.2) which displays logical names. Logical names can be specified by name or by value and optionally using wildcards (normal VMS wildcards * and %). The logical name tables of the currently selected process in SDA and/or shared tables are searched. LN$SDA can be used to look at a crash dump or at a running system. INSTALLATION ------------ Either copy LN$SDA.EXE to SYS$SHARE or define a logical name LN$SDA as the current location. $ DEFINE LN$SDA DISK:[DIR.SUBDIR]LN$SDA.EXE TO USE ------ When analyzing a crash dump or the current running system using SDA enter the command LN (at the SDA> prompt) as follows LN name [table] Specify table to search a specific logical name table or use the qualifiers /SYSTEM to search LNM$SYSTEM only /GROUP to search LNM$GROUP only /PROCESS to search LNM$PROCESS only /ALL to search this process and all shared tables Only one of /SYSTEM, /GROUP, /JOB, /PROCESS and /ALL can be specified. If no table is specified default is to search the tables specified by the LNM$DCL_LOGICAL search list. Logical names containing lower case letters have to be specified in quotes e.g "DnsClerkCache". Use /CASE_BLIND for case blind matching of name /WILDCARD if name contains wildcards The qualifier /VALUE specifies that the name is the value of the logical name to search for. /WILDCARD and /CASE_BLIND can be used with /VALUE. The qualifiers /USER, /SUPERVISOR, /EXECUTIVE, and /KERNEL restrict the search to only logical names that match the mode specifed. The default is to match any mode. The /DUMP_CACHE to request that the process logical name table translation cache is displayed. The output is formatted assuming a 132 character line length. Due to the simplified table name resolution algorithm implemented if the specified table name resolves to more than 30 actual tables then only the the first 30 are searched. This should not be a problem usually. The usual value of LNM$DCL_LOGICAL resolves to six tables. AUTHOR ------ This program was written by Ian Miller. Bug reports and comments to miller@encompasserve.org CHANGES ------- V1.0 First public release. TO BUILD -------- A C compiler is required. I usually use DEC C V7.1 on OpenVMS Alpha V7.3-2 LN does build on OpenVMS Alpha V7.2 to V8.2 and OpenVMS I64 V8.2 to V8.2-1 @B_LN$SDA.COM COPYRIGHT NOTICE ---------------- This software is COPYRIGHT © 2006, Ian Miller.
