Contains files used by the Host Connection Program (HCON).
The /usr/lib/hcon directory contains files used by the Host Connection Program (HCON). It contains color and keyboard definition files, terminal definition files, HCON API subdirectories, AUTOLOG example scripts, configuration data base files, and the command to start the HCON subsystem.
The following files contain data used to define and customize the HCON color and keyboard definition tables:
| File | Contents |
|---|---|
| e789_ctbl | Default binary color-definition table |
| e789_ktbl | Default binary keyboard-definition table |
The color and keyboard definition tables in the /usr/lib/hcon directory specify defaults for use by HCON emulator sessions. The hconutil command allows users to customize color and keyboard command allows users to customize color and keyboard definition tables.
The HCON installation process creates a terminfo subdirectory in the /usr/lib/hcon directory. The /usr/lib/hcon/terminfo directory contains terminal definition files that are specific to HCON. When HCON is installed, the terminfo directory contains the following files:
The terminfo binary files for HCON terminal definitions are in subdirectories of the /usr/lib/hcon/terminfo directory. Each subdirectory is named with the first letter of the terminal name. When HCON is installed, the terminfo directory contains the following subdirectories:
In addition to those delivered with HCON, the /usr/lib/hcon/terminfo subdirectory can contain customized terminal definitions.
The HCON installation process creates two subdirectories in the /usr/lib/hcon directory that contain files used by the HCON API:
The /usr/lib/hcon directory contains several example files for the AUTOLOG facility. These files are:
The following files contain HCON configuration information. This information is used by HCON programs, by the Object Data Manager (ODM), and by the HCON configuration commands, which are called by the System Management Interface Tool (SMIT).
| File | Contents |
|---|---|
| sysdflts | HCON database system defaults |
| sysdflts.vc | HCON database system defaults |
| users | HCON users database |
The sthcondmn command is used to start the hcondmn subsystem after HCON has been installed.
This directory is part of the Host Connection Program (HCON).
| /usr/lib/hcon/terminfo directory | Contains terminal definitions. |
The hconutil command creates customized color and keyboard definition tables.
