Summary
The INITIALIZER procedure is used to read the startup message and, optionally, to
request receipt of assign and param messages sent by the starting process (which is
often a TACL process). The INITIALIZER procedure optionally initializes file control
blocks (FCBs) with the information read from the startup and assign messages.
Syntax for C Programmers
•
Do not call INITIALIZER from a Guardian or OSS C program. You can instead
obtain the startup information from the C run-time. Refer to the
C/C++
Programmer’s Guide for information on how to obtain the startup information from
a Guardian C program.

0 This is a primary process (of a potential process pair).
-1 This is a backup process, CHECKMONITOR returned (indicating that the
primary failed before establishing a takeover point), and bit 12 of
flags is 1.
