The eleventh edition of the MPE/iX Commands Reference
Manual is one volume with command descriptions alphabetically
from A through X. This manual is written for all users of the HP
3000 MPE/iX Computers. MPE/iX, Multiprogramming Executive with Integrated
POSIX, is the latest in a series of forward-compatible operating
systems for the HP 3000 line of computers.
In HP documentation and in talking with HP 3000 users, you
will encounter references to MPE XL, the direct predecessor of MPE/iX.
MPE/iX is a superset of MPE XL. All programs written for MPE XL
will run without change unde MPE/iX. You can continue to use MPE XL
system documentation, although it may not refer to features added to the
operating system to support POSIX (for example, hierarchical directories).
Finally, you may encounter references to MPE V, which is the
operating system for HP 3000s, not based on the PA-RISC architecture.
MPE V software can be run on the PA-RISC (Series 900) HP 3000s in
what is known as compatibility mode.
The MPE/iX Commands Reference Manual is organized into eight chapters.
A description of each chapter follows:
Chapters 2 thru 8 of this manual, explains the purpose, syntax,
parameters, and operation (including examples) for each MPE/iX command.
If you know which command to use for the task you wish to perform,
turn directly to that command definition. For your convenience,
commands are organized alphabetically. If you don't know which command
to use, Chapter 1, which contains a listing of commands by task,
is a good place to start. After reading the brief description, turn
to the appropriate command definition.
- Chapter 1

commands and their functions, categorized by the task they
perform. - Chapters 2-8
Command Definitions provides documentation on each MPE/iX
command alphabetically for your ease of use.
