NAME
    y2kt - Year 2000 tools for VLT-SW
     
SYNOPSIS

    y2000 <dirname>...
    y2000_usage <dirname>...
    compat JAN2000 <filename>...
 
DESCRIPTION

    ABI for Sun
      Sun's ABI (application binary interface) tool offers automated
      identification of a program's executables and associated shared objects
      that may have date handling errors related to the Year 2000 compliance.
      ABI has 2 utilities:
        y2000
          makes a report of the binaries that have dependencies on a group of
          time related functions.
        y2000_usage
          makes a report of the binaries that have dependencies on a group of
          time related functions with dangerous arguments or format srings.

    compat
      The generic compat utility is used for the Year 2000 issue through the
      configuration file compat.JAN2000.config, searching a group of time
      related functions and data types in the sources files specified.
      
INSTALLATION

    ABI for Sun
      From the shell command line, type:
        sh y2000_install.sh
      in the directory where the file y2000_install.sh is (y2kt/src).
      Accept the default answers and the disclaimer in the installation
      procedure.

FILES

ENVIRONMENT

    ABI for Sun
      The bin directory of the y2000 package (default /var/tmp/Y2000/bin)

      The file compat.JAN2000.config must be present in one of these
      directories:
        [pwd]

        [pwd]/config
        $INTROOT/config
        $VLTROOT/config

EXAMPLES

    ABI for Sun

      y2000_usage my_module/bin
    compat
      compat JAN2000 my_module/src/*
      find ~/VLTSW -path '*/src/*' -exec compat JAN2000 {} \; > compatresult

BUGS   

    compat
      One of the time related functions included in the compat.JAN2000.config
      file is named "time", producing a high rate of false alarm during the
      search of a source file, since the string "time" is plentiful.
