Starting a MEDIASRV Process Using the
PROCESS_CREATE_ Procedure
swap-file:len
is an optional string containing the name of the swap file for the MEDIASRV
process data area. The length of the string follows the colon.
ext-swap-file:len
is an optional string containing the name of the swap file for the MEDIASRV
process extended data segments. The length of the string follows the colon.
priority
specifies the priority of the process.
cpu
specifies the processor in which the primary process runs.
error-detail
contains additional error information relevant to some errors returned by the
procedure.
name-option
is set to 1 to indicate that the process is named and that the name follows in
process-name.
process-name:len
is a string containing the name assigned to the MEDIASRV process. The length of
the string follows the colon. This parameter can be used in the subsequent call to
the FILE_OPEN_.
hometerm:len
is a string containing the name of the home terminal for the MEDIASRV process.
The length of the string follows the colon.
create-options
can be set to determine whether the MEDIASRV process is created at a high PIN
or a low PIN. For details and important considerations, see the description of the
PROCESS_CREATE_ procedure in the Guardian Procedure Calls Reference
Manual. The MEDIASRV program distributed by HP has the HIGHPIN object-file
attribute set to OFF, so processes derived from it run at a low PIN regardless of the
value you specify for the create-options parameter. For information on setting
the HIGHPIN MEDIASRV object-file attribute, see Creating a High-PIN MEDIASRV
Process on page 2-7.
