Summary of Change

What’s New for Customers Migrating from HP-UX 11i v1 September 2005?

HP-UX Color-Curses libraries and commands were declared deprecated in HP-UX 10.30 and are not available in HP-UX 11i v3 PA-RISC.

Following are the libraries, commands and header files obsoleted in HP-UX 11i v3 PA-RISC version:

  • /usr/lib/libcur_colr.a

  • /usr/lib/libcur_colr.sl

  • /usr/bin/captoinfo_colr

  • /usr/bin/infocmp_colr

  • /usr/bin/tput_colr

  • /usr/bin/tic_colr

  • /usr/include/curses_colr/curses.h

  • /usr/include/curses_colr/term.h

What’s New for Customers Migrating from HP-UX 11i v2 June 2006?

HP-UX Color-Curses libraries and commands were declared deprecated in HP-UX 10.30 and are not available in HP-UX 11i v3 PA-RISC.

Following are the libraries, commands and header files obsoleted in HP-UX 11i v3 PA-RISC version:

  • /usr/lib/libcur_colr.a

  • /usr/lib/libcur_colr.sl

  • /usr/bin/captoinfo_colr

  • /usr/bin/infocmp_colr

  • /usr/bin/tput_colr

  • /usr/bin/tic_colr

  • /usr/include/curses_colr/curses.h

  • /usr/include/curses_colr/term.h

The above files are available in HP-UX 11i v2 PA-RISC version but not in HP-UX 11i v2 Itanium®-based version.

Impact

As HP-UX 11i v3 does not have these libraries and commands. Any makefiles or executables referring to these libraries or scripts making use of these commands may not work.

Alternative: X/Open libcurses. For more information about libcurses and X/Open libcurses, see the white paper “Migrating HP Curses Applications to Xcurses” at http://devresource.hp.com/drc/STK/docs/refs/xcurses.jsp. Also see the following “Documentation” section.

Compatibility

On HP-UX 11i v3 PA-RISC machine makefiles or scripts referring to the obsoleted commands will fail. Applications linking to the obsoleted libraries may not work. Similar APIs are available in the X/Open libcurses library.

On HP-UX 11i v3 Itanium®-based machines there is no change as these deliverables are already obsoleted in HP-UX 11i v2 release.

Performance

There are no known performance issues.
