Definition of a Unixlink

The keyword for a link definition on Unix systems is Unixlink. A global ID of a unixlink should begin with gid_Unixlink . Unixlinks have to be assigned to modules in the definition block of the module. A typical definition of a procedure in the scp projects looks like:

#ifdef UNX
Unixlink gid_Unixlink_Zip
BIN_FILE_BODY;
Styles = ();
Dir = gid_Dir_Program;
Name = „ziplink“;
Target = „/usr/bin/zip“;
End
#endif

#ifdef UNX
Unixlink gid_Unixlink_Unzip
BIN_FILE_BODY;
Styles = ();
Dir = gid_Dir_Program;
Name = „unziplink“;
Target = „/usr/bin/unzip“;
End
#endif

Assignment at a Module:

Unixlinks = (gid_Unixlink_Zip, gid_Unixlink_Unzip);

The definition of a Unixlink is simple. The link has a name, some privileges (555 in the case of BIN_FILE_BODY), a directory, in which the link is created, and a target. In the first example above, a link named „ziplink“ is created in the program directory in the Office installation, that points to the file „/usr/bin/zip“.
