The binary scanner utility, binaryScan,
reports the compatibility level of application interfaces between
origin and destination operating systems based on the scanning of
executables. The generated reports help you scope your porting effort.
|
The summary report (either binaryscan_summary.txt or binaryscan_summary.html) lists the number of APIs analyzed by disposition codes. The possible disposition codes are:
- Fully supported
- Available in Migration Environment
- not documented on the source platform
- No information available
- Not found in database
- Non-critical change
- Critical change
- Not going forward
- Cluster or AdvFS-related
See the example reports for binaryscan_summary.txt or binaryscan_summary.html included here.
The detailed report (either binaryscan_detail.txt or binaryscan_detail.html) lists the APIs by disposition code. For each API, the report shows:
- Name of the file where the API was found
- API disposition code
- API name
- API library location
See the example reports for binaryscan_detail.txt or binaryscan_detail.html included here.
This utility is available as a graphical user interface (GUI) or command-line interface (CLI). To run the GUI, invoke binaryScan by entering the following line at the prompt, and then follow the onscreen instructions:
/opt/binaryscan/binaryscan -gui
To run the CLI and get the reports in HTML format, invoke binaryScan by entering the following line at the prompt:
/opt/binaryscan/binaryscan /opt/STK/bin/executable
To run the CLI and get the reports in text format, invoke binaryScan by entering the following line at the prompt:
/opt/binaryscan/binaryscan -o text /opt/STK/bin/executable
By default, binaryScan generates a summary report. To generate a detailed report, invoke binaryScan by entering the following line at the prompt:
/opt/binaryscan/binaryscan -t detail /opt/STK/bin/executable
