Intro -- introduction to ONC commands

Description

This section describes publicly accessible ONC utilities in alphabetical order.

Diagnostics

Upon termination, each command returns two bytes of status data: one supplied by the system giving the cause for termination and (in the case of ``normal'' termination) one supplied by the program (see wait(S-osr5) and ).exit(S-osr5) The former byte is 0 for normal termination. The latter is customarily 0 for successful execution; a nonzero value indicates troubles such as erroneous parameters, bad or inaccessible data, or some other inability to cope with the task at hand. This datum is called variously ``exit code,'' ``exit status,'' or ``return code;'' it is described only where special conventions are involved.
