libIO.so (for Itanium®-based
systems) or libIO.sl (for PA-RISC systems) is a shared library, which provides
APIs for accessing the HP-UX I/O subsystem information. The libIO(3X) manpage
documents the APIs. The header file /usr/include/sys/libIO.h has the data structures needed for compiling the programs
using libIO.

Impact |
 |
The library will enable you to use the APIs to get HP-UX I/O
subsystem information. The library will reduce the dependency on
other HP-UX commands for I/O information.
Compatibility |
 |
Many APIs in libIO are release-specific. These APIs may be removed or have
their meanings changed in future releases of HP-UX. Currently, the libIO APIs are not thread-safe. For more information, see the libIO(3X) manpage.
Performance |
 |
There are no known performance issues.
Documentation |
 |
