resolve_links Command

Purpose

Enables and disables cross-book links to HTML library books that were not installed on the system.

Syntax

resolve_links [ -e ] [ -v ] [ locale ... ]

Description

The resolve_links command disables and enables HTML links in the AIX documentation to documents in other books.

The AIX documentation library allows administrators to install only some of the books in the library. Many of the books in the library have cross-book HTML links that take you to other books in the library. By default, if a cross-book link points to a book that is not installed or mounted from a documentation CD, the get a File Not Found error message if you click on the link. Use the resolve_links command to disable cross-book links to missing books. When a link is disabled, the text label for the link still appears, but it is not underlined, and does not act as a link.

By default, the resolve_links command modifies all documents that are installed in the a_doc_lib directory using the AIX installation procedures. This directory is found under the /usr/share/man/info/locale directories (where locale is replaced by the names of all of the locales for which you have installed documentation). Optionally, you may include one or more locale names with the command so that only documents under the path(s) with the specified locale(s) are modified.
