7.6.3.18 Programming to Use Signatures
Signatures help assure system integrity and security. The following resources
provide information on using signatures.
• Signature() instruction in Diagnostics
• RunSignature
(p. 548)
• ProgSignature (p. 548)
• OSSignature (p. 545)
• Security — Overview (p. 84)
Many signatures are recorded in the Status table, which is a type of data table.
Signatures recorded in the Status table can be copied to a variable using the
programming technique described in the Programming Access to Data Tables
(p.
167).
Once in variable form, signatures can be sampled as part of another data
table for archiving.
7.6.3.19 Functions (with a capital F)
