Accessing HP C Online Help

To access the online help, on a system where the HP C compiler is installed, enter the following:

/opt/ansic/bin/cc +help

This command will launch a web browser, displaying the index file for the HP C online help system. The actual file location of the html help is file:/${CROOTDIR}/html/guide/${LOCALE}/c_index.html.

If the environment variable CROOTDIR is not set, path will be formed relative to the compiler's root directory; this is usually /opt/ansic/. See the previous section “Before you begin” for more information on setting the CROOTDIR environment variable.

	NOTE: If the browser path set by the BROWSER environment variable does not exist, or if the default browser paths /opt/ns-navgold/bin/netscape or /opt/ns-communicator/netscape do not exist, a message will be displayed telling you that the BROWSER environment variable must be set properly.
