Ingres Compatibility Library
The Ingres Compatibility Library (CL) is a collection of API's which attempt to abstract the operating system and the build tools from the core of the Ingres Product Family functionality. These API's live in either the CL or the General Library (GL).
The Ingres CL is a fundamental component of all of the Ingres Family of Products (RDBMS, OpenROAD, Ingres Connectivity).
The Ingres CL is undergoing a move to the Community Wiki with each facility available as its own wiki page as well as an update to reflect the current reality as the Specification is a little outdated.
Please note that this is a work in Progress as it the facilities are being documented bit by bit. The initial facility documentation will be the out-dated version as the baseline with a refresh of the content underway.
Unix man pages
ingcl.zip contains a dated version of the module definitions, but provides some useful insight into the division of functionality.
Usage
You can use the Unix man(1) command to view these documents. Follow these 3 steps:
- Unpack the archive in a new directory to avoid possible overwriting of other man pages (the archive includes a 'man' sub-directory) e.g. /home/ingres
- Add the directory to your MANPATH
- sh: export MANPATH=/home/ingres/man:$MANPATH
- csh: setenv MANPATH /home/ingres/man:$MANPATH
- ...there is no step 3
You should now be able to issue view the documents with the man command, e.g.:
man compat
