QNX Momentics IDE User's Guide
This User's Guide describes version 8.0 of the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that's part of the QNX Tool Suite.
QNX Software Development Platform
QNX SDP is a cross-compiling and debugging environment, including an IDE and command-line tools, for building binary images and programs for target boards running the QNX OS 8.0.
- Quickstart Guide
- System Architecture
  The System Architecture guide accompanies the QNX OS and is intended for both application developers and end-users.
- OS Components & Operations
- Graphics
- Programming
- System Security Guide
  The QNX System Security Guide is intended for both system integrators who are responsible for the security of a QNX OS system and developers who want to create a QNX OS resource manager free from vulnerabilities.

  - QNX Helpers Developer's Guide
    These libraries provide QNX helpers, including helpers that assist with logging, string conversion, and number and type sizes.
    - attr.h
      QNX helpers - Attribute helpers.
    - endian.h
      QNX helpers - Endianness-related helpers.
    - error.h
      QNX helpers - Helpers related to the errno variable.
    - io.h
      QNX helpers - IO helpers.
    - log.h
      QNX helpers related to logging.
      - Setting up QNX helpers logging
        QNX helpers logging provides default settings and configuration that initialize slog2.
      - Controlling QNX helpers logging
        Logging using QNX helpers is controlled by a configuration string that specifies a combination of the destination flags, the verbosity of a context, and the message-specific flags.
      - Macros
        These macros are the preferred method for making log calls. They are simplified versions of the QNX helpers logging functions.
      - Macro variables
        These macro definitions are used with QNX helpers logging macros and functions.
        Set of log destinations or no log destinations
        Identifiers that represent either a set of log destinations or no destinations.
        Blocked destinations
        Log flags that represent a log message destination that is blocked.
        Flags for converting destinations
        The size of the shift for converting from *_DEST_* defines and masks to *_NO_DEST_* ones, and vice versa.
        Log message output
        Optional flags used in a qh_log_*() call that modify the log message output.
        Log to stderr based on log level
        These convenience flags combine a log level and the stderr destination.
        Log to stderr or stdout based on log level
        These convenience flags combine a log level and the stdout and stderr destinations.
        Message destinations
        Log flags that specify log message destinations.
        Message with severity
        Convenience logging macros that implicitly specify the logging severity that is normally specified when calling the qh_log() or qh_log_noloc() macros.
        QH_LOG_USER_CONTEXT_VAR
        A variable that holds the name of the user QNX helpers logging context.
        Severity level masks
        A set of masks that represent the different sections of the severity level.
        User-reserved area
        A mask and shift size that represent the area of the flags that is reserved for users.
        Verbosity levels
        Identifiers that represent the verbosity levels when logging messages.
