Folder Name	Description
doc	Contains the document with API details.
noarch	Contains novell-xplatlib-headers-1.4.3-0.42.3.noarch.rpm file. When this rpm file is installed on the Linux machine, the header files are created in the /opt/novell/include/xplat directory.
samples\OES2018	Contains samples for new APIs added as part of OES 2018.
samples\OES2015	Contains samples for new APIs added as part of OES 2015.
samples\Pre_OES2015	Contains samples for older (earlier than OES 2015) APIs.
x86_64	Contains 64-bit .rpm files. The 64-bit rpm files are as follows: novell-xplatlib-1.4.3-0.42.8.x86_64.rpm novell-xtier-base-3.5.3-0.85.3.x86_64.rpm novell-xtier-core-3.5.3-0.85.3.x86_64.rpm novell-xtier-xplat-3.5.3-0.85.3.x86_64.rpm novell-xplatlib-devel-1.4.3-0.42.8.x86_64.rpm When 64-bit xplat rpm file is installed on the Linux machine, the libraries are created in the /opt/novell/lib64 directory. Similarly, when 64-bit xtier rpm files are installed on the Linux machine, the libraries are created in the /opt/novell/xtier/lib64 directory. Note: x86 or 32-bit binaries are no longer supported with OES 2018

3.0 Installation Instructions

The NDK version of XPlat and XTier libraries are for OES 2018 server. The sample code for NDK is present in the OES_Cross-Platform_Libraries(XPLAT)_for_Linux_FEB-2018_OES_2018\samples\OES2018\[api_name] directory. The [api_name] represents the individual directories present in OES_Cross-Platform_Libraries(XPLAT)_for_Linux_FEB-2018_OES_2018\samples\OES2018 directory. For example: NWScanForDeletedFilesExt2, NWRecoverDeletedFileExt2 and so on.

3.1 Building the Sample Code

The following instructions explain how to build the sample code using gcc compiler:

Execute the make file present in [api_name] directory.

The Release directory is created in the OES_Cross-Platform_Libraries(XPLAT)_for_Linux_FEB-2018_OES_2018\samples\OES2018\[api_name] directory. This directory includes all the output binaries.
