PROCESS_SPAWN_ Procedure

If you specify the default value 0D, the process uses the same user library file (if

any) as it did the last time it was run (or with no file if that was how it was run) or

with the library file currently executing. Write permission to the program file is not

required. Refer to the

Binder Manual for more information about TNS user

libraries. Refer to the

nld and noft Manual for more information about native user

libraries and shared run-time libraries. Refer to the

ld and rld Reference

Manualmanual for more information about dynamic-link libraries (including native

user libraries used with PIC programs).

If an external reference cannot be resolved, it is modified to invoke the debugger

when referenced. PROCESS_SPAWN_ then returns a warning 14 in the

Z^TPCERROR field of the

process-results parameter and issues a warning

message to the home terminal the first time the program is run. (The warning 14

and the terminal message are issued again the first time the program is run

following a system load).

Z^SwapFileName

is not used, but you can provide it for informational purposes. If supplied, the

swap file must be on the same system as the process being created. If the

supplied name is in local form, the system where the process is created is

assumed. Processes swap to a file that is managed by the Kernel-Managed Swap

Facility. For more information on this facility, refer to the

Kernel-Managed Swap

Facility (KMSF) Manual. To reserve swap space for the process, specify the

Z^SPACEGUARANTEE field. Alternatively, use the

nld utility to set TNS/R native

process attributes or the

eld utility to set TNS/E native process attributes.

For TNS processes on RVUs preceding the D42 RVU, this parameter is the

address of the null-terminated OSS pathname of the Guardian swap file to be used

for the user data stack segment of the process. The swap file must be an

unstructured file. If the pathname is relative, it is resolved using the OSS current

working directory.

The default value is 0D.

See ”Considerations for Resolving File Names” and “DEFINE Considerations” for

more information about the swap files.

Z^ExtSwapFileName

for TNS processes, if set to the default value, 0D, the Kernel-Managed Swap

Facility (KMSF) allocates swap space for the default extended data segment of the

process. For more information on this facility, refer to the

Kernel-Managed Swap

Facility (KMSF) Manual.

for TNS processes, this parameter is the address of a null-terminated OSS

pathname of the Guardian swap file to be used for the default extended data

segment of the process. The swap file must be an unstructured file. If the

pathname is relative, it is resolved using the OSS current working directory.
