Using the Reference Table

• If an interface is listed as "changed" (C), a brief description of differences between SunOS release 4.x command and the Solaris 2.4 command is provided.
• If an interface is listed as "the same" (S), the Solaris 2.4 interface supports all features of the SunOS release 4.x interface. In some cases the interface has been enhanced, but can be considered a complete superset of the SunOS release 4.x interface.
• If an interface has an "alternative" (A), check the Notes section for its replacement.
• If an interface is listed as "not available" (N), check the Notes section for information about its replacement. Replacement commands, when available, are also shown in the SunOS release 5.4 column.

---

Note - The directory structure in the SunOS release 5.4 release is different than the SunOS release 4.x structure; thus some commands behave the same, but have a different path name. For example, the SunOS release 4.x

/usr/etc/newfs command now resides in /usr/sbin/newfs, but the interface has not changed. This command, and others like it, are considered the same (S) according to this table's guidelines.

---

Commands that exist in both /usr/bin and /usr/5bin have two table entries, the first documents the /usr/bin command, and the second entry documents the /usr/5bin command.

For complete information on all Solaris 2.4 interfaces, see man Pages(1): User Commands.

Examples

Table A-1 through Table A-4 show table entries and are followed by an interpretation.

Table A-1

SunOS Release 4.x Command	SunOS Release 5.4	Alternative Available and Notes	BSD
fasthalt(8)	A	The init 0 command provides similar capabilities.	S

The fasthalt command is not available in the SunOS release 5.4 base release. This command is available if you install the SunOS/BSD Compatibility package on your SunOS release 5.4 system. The init 0 command replaces fasthalt in SunOS release 5.4. If you use the compatibility package fasthalt command in scripts or applications, they will not work on other SVR4 systems. Compatibility package commands can be found in /usr/ucb on systems that have this package installed, and they are documented in section 1B of man Pages(1): User Commands, for example fasthalt(1B).

Table A-2

SunOS Release 4.x Command	SunOS Release 5.4	Alternative Available and Notes	BSD
cc(1V)	N	The C compiler is only available with the C language unbundled tools.	C

The C compiler is not available in the SunOS release 5.4. A C compiler is available with the SunOS/BSD Compatibility package, but it requires the unbundled C compiler and does not provide the same interface and output as the SunOS release 4.x compiler. See "Compiler Option Differences" on page 148 for details.

Table A-3

SunOS Release 4.x Command	SunOS Release 5.4..Alternative Available and Notes............BSD
date(1V) -- SysV	S....................................N
date(1V)	C......The format used when setting the date is slightly different N in SunOS release 5.4. See the date(1) man page for more information.
	SunOS release 4.x had two date commands: /usr/5bin/date (compared in the SysV entry) and /usr/bin/date (compared in the second entry). The /usr/5bin/date command is identical to the SunOS release 5.4 command. If you had /usr/5bin in your path before /usr/bin, you will not notice any difference in this command in the SunOS release 5.4. If you are accustomed to using SunOS release 4.x /usr/bin/date command, you should look at the SunOS release 5.4 date(1) man page before attempting to set the date on your system. Table A-4 Example 4
SunOS Release 4.x Command	SunOS Release 5.4..Alternative Available and Notes............BSD

The SunOS 4.2 rev command is not available in the SunOS release 5.4 or the BSD release. There is no replacement command available.

nice(1)	C	There are two versions of nice in SunOS release 4.x system software, one built into the csh and one installed under /usr/bin. The default process priority for the command built into csh is 4, and the default value for /usr/bin/nice is 10. The SunOS release 5.4 command defaults to 10. The SunOS release 4.x command that is built into the csh uses a slightly different syntax than the SunOS release 4.x command found in /usr/bin, in that the additional + option (nice +n) sets the nice value to n rather than incrementing it by n.
