Finding the source code QNX 6.3.2  
Hi everybody,

I am new in QNX RTOS and i don't have any experience in RTOS before. 
I have set-up(via an iso-cd) qnx-6.3.2 on my PC x86. I have a question to make:

 I want to understand how a module works and cooperate with the microkernel to provide a service. So I want to find a 
module for instance ps(command). Where could I find the module and  its source-code ? Do I have to download the source-
code of qnx-6.3.2 ? 

thanks in advance

RE: Finding the source code QNX 6.3.2  
You'll want "pidin", which is roughly equivalent to "ps" under Linux.
(Either that, or you can use the Eclipse IDE, which also provides the
capability to see what processes are running.) 

However, you don't need those tools to develop your own module or
service.  Look in the documentation under Resource Manager (or resmgr).
A resource manager under QNX is the generic term for a server, service,
or device driver.

I think everything you'll need to read is on the web.

Start here:

Thanks a lot for your response it was very helpful, I 'll study the Resource Manager and IPC at first.
