RTC_PATCH_AREA(1)RTC_PATCH_AREA(1)NAMErtc_patch_area - patch area utility for Runtime Checking
SYNOPSISrtc_patch_area [ -so sharedlibname ] [ -o objectname ] [ -size size ] [
-cc compiler ]
DESCRIPTIONrtc_patch_area is used with the Runtime Checking (RTC) feature of
dbx(1). It is a shell script which creates object files or shared
library files that can be linked into your program to add patch area
space for programs with large text, data, or bss images.
The object file or shared library created contains one RTC patch area
of the specified size or the default size of 8,000,000. The name of
the resulting object file or shared library is written to the standard
output. One of the -o or -so options must be used.
OPTIONS-so sharedlibname
Specify the name of the shared library to be created, which is
written to the standard output.
-o objectname
Specify the name of the object file to be created, which is then
written to the standard output. If the -so option was used and
-o was not used the default is a name in /tmp based on the LOG‐
NAME environment variable.
-size size
Create a patch area of size bytes with the default and reason‐
able maximum being 8000000.
-cc compiler
Use compiler instead of cc or acc to build the object file.
EXAMPLES
Generate a standard 8Mb patch area object file:
rtc_patch_area-o patch.o
Generate an object file containing a 100,000 byte patch:
rtc_patch_area-size 100000 -o patch.o
Generate a 1Mb patch area shared library:
rtc_patch_area-so rtc1M.so -size 1000000
