critical impact:

quotactl - incompatible order of parameters (CrCh134)

Problem description

The order of parameters in the invocation of quotactl are different on HP-UX and Tru64 UNIX.

On Tru64 UNIX, the function prototype for the quotactl function is as follows:

int quotactl(char *path, int cmd, int uid, char *addr);

On HP-UX, the function prototype for the quotactl function is as follows:

int quotactl(int cmd, const char *path, uid_t uid, void *addr);

Old behavior

The following is an example of Tru64 UNIX code fragment that uses quotactl:

#include <sys/quota.h>
.
.
.
char *path = "/xxx/yyy/";
int cmd;
int uid = 200;
char *addr = "filename";

cmd = QCMD(Q_QUOTAOFF, USRQUOTA);
quotactl(path, cmd, uid, addr);
.
.
.
