The Solaris Application Scanner (ABIScan) is a utility that can quickly detect if an application refers to a removed interface or library from Solaris 2.4 up to and including Solaris 10. The Solaris Application Scanner database contains information on both public and private interfaces that have been removed from Solaris. The private interfaces are included in case an application has been using the private interfaces and has “just happened to work” until the private interface is removed. Because public interfaces are only rarely removed from Solaris, the vast majority of the Solaris Application Scanner database consists of removed private interfaces.
