  - WPA Control Interface Reference
    This document provides a reference for the Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) control interface, which provides a C API for the WPA/IEEE 802.11i protocols in Wi-Fi client stations. Application developers who want to control WPA operations and get associated status and event data should read this reference.
QNX Hypervisor
The QNX Hypervisor allows you to run multiple OSs on a target system so you can separate critical and non-critical functions, support a wide variety of applications, and reduce hardware costs.
QNX Software in the Cloud
QNX Software in the Cloud enables developers to use the QNX software in Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure (Azure).

seedres

Seed system resources on x86 platforms

Syntax:

seedres

Runs on:

QNX Neutrino

Targets:

x86_64

Options:

None.

Description:

The seedres utility reads the PnP BIOS and assigns resources, such as I/O ports and IRQs, to procnto's resource database. You need it if you want drivers to assign nonconflicting resources.

Note:

This utility is for x86 platforms; on other platforms, the startup code seeds the system resources.

For more information about the resource database, see rsrcdbmr_attach() in the QNX Neutrino C Library Reference.
