What is libc version 8.0.2i, the UnixWare7 Definitive Runtime C Library?


Problems Fixed
--------------

   libc, version 8.0.2f, shipped with the original UnixWare 7 Definitive 2018
   release.  libc, version 8.0.2i, includes all the fixes in libc versions
   8.0.2g and 8.0.2h as well as an additional fix.

   Fixed in libc, version 8.0.2g:

   1.  Revisions to header files and libraries to correct some of the stdio
       helper functions.  These functions were provided in prior releases to
       aid in open source porting.  These functions were modified:
          __freadable()
          __fwritable()
          __fbufsiz() should have been __fbufsize()

       This fix is provided partially by this libc package and partially by
       PTF 9150 (version F or later).

       UW7-173

   Fixed in libc, version 8.0.2h:

   2.  Corrected LD_PRELOAD so, when used, loads the libraries set by
       LD_PRELOAD prior to any other libraries, including libc.so.1.

       UW7-183

   Fixed in libc, version 8.0.2i:

   3.  The getprogname and setprogname functions are now in libc.
       Also cleaned up a typdef redeclaration error.

       This fix is provided partially by this libc package and partially by
       PTF 9150 (version H or later).

Installation Instructions
-------------------------

Either use patchck to install this package or follow the following procedure:

  1. Download the libc.8.0.2i.image file to the /tmp directory on your machine.

  2. As root, add the package to your system using these commands:

     $ su -
     Password: <type your root password>
     # pkgadd -d /tmp/libc.8.0.2i.image all

     Alternatively, this package may be installed in quiet mode, that is,
     without displaying the release notes and asking for confirmation.
     To do this, use these commands:

     $ su -
     Password: <type your root password>
     # pkgadd -qd /tmp/libc.8.0.2i.image all

  3. It is not necessary to reboot the system after installing this
     package.  Any currently running application using the previous
     C runtime will continue to do so until the application terminates
     or the system is rebooted.


Software Notes and Recommendations
----------------------------------

  1.  libc, version 8.0.2i, should only be installed on:

      UnixWare 7 Definitive 2018 (D2M1)

  2.  The libc package, once installed, cannot be back revved to an
      earlier version.

  3.  To use a Xinuos development system with this version of libc, you also
      need to install an updated PTF 9150 (version H or later).

      Your applications will work correctly with just the new libc or just
      PTF9150h (or later).  However, the development systems will be out
      of sync.
