Change Your Data To Suit Your Program

You may have some proven utilities developed in Solaris 8 that are based on pmap output and would love to port them to Solaris 10. Or you may just want to maintain a single version to handle both Solaris 8 and Solaris 10. However, the output from pmap is different from the two Solaris versions. So, shall we modify the scripts ?

Do you know that you can have another alternative. Yes, it is to change the output to suit your existing program. In this case, you do not have to go through all the testings to ensure the correctness of your scripts.

What you can do is to run a customised function (_pmap) to convert the pmap output for Solaris 10, else run the original pmap command for Solaris 8.

Here are the sample outputs and the pmap function (_pmap). The rest of your script can remain intact.
