Introduction
This document gives a description of Interface Modules as used by
application programs (tasks) running under ADAM with the parameter system
based on the SUBPAR library.
It describes Interface Modules and some related aspects of the parameter
system in fine detail and is intended as a reference document -
users requiring an introduction to the parameter system and Interface Modules
should read SG/4 first.
For the purpose of the examples it is assumed that a user interface
similar to ICL, the Interactive Command Language, is being used.
Note that the actual use of keywords, prompts, etc. is
determined by the user interface, which may or may not support the
various features.
Useful associated documents are:
- SG/4
- ADAM -- The Starlink Software Environment
- SUN/134
- ADAM -- How to Write Instrumentation Tasks
- SUN/92
- HDS -- Hierarchical Data System
- SG/5
- ICL -- The Interactive Command Language
- SUN/104
- MSG and ERR -- Message and Error Reporting
Systems
This document applies to Unix ADAM Version 2.0 (VMS ADAM Version 2.1) and
later.
