This manual describes the Tru64 UNIX Mobile IPv6 kit, Mobile IPv6 itself, and how to install and configure Mobile IPv6 on your system.
This manual assumes that the operating system and the appropriate networking
subsets are installed.

Icons on Tru64 UNIX Printed Manuals
The printed version of the Tru64 UNIX documentation uses letter icons on the spines of the manuals to help specific audiences quickly find the manuals that meet their needs. (You can order the printed documentation from Compaq.) The following list describes this convention:
G | Manuals for general users |
S | Manuals for system and network administrators |
P | Manuals for programmers |
R | Manuals for reference page users |
Some manuals in the documentation help meet the needs of several audiences. For example, the information in some system manuals is also used by programmers. Keep this in mind when searching for information on specific topics.
The
Documentation Overview
provides
information on all of the manuals in the Tru64 UNIX documentation set.
