Summary
The NEWPROCESS procedure is used to create a new process and, optionally, set a
number of process attributes. When a new process is created, its 4-word process ID is
returned to the caller.
You can use this procedure to create only Guardian processes, although you can call it
from a Guardian process or an OSS process. The program file must contain a
program for execution in the Guardian environment. The program file and any user
library file must reside in the Guardian name space.
DEFINEs for the process context of the creator can be propagated to a new process.
Further, any or all of the file names given in the
filenames parameter can be DEFINE
names.
Syntax for C Programmers
This procedure does not have a C syntax, because it is superseded and should not be
used for new development. This procedure is supported only for compatibility with
previous software.
Note. This procedure is supported for compatibility with previous software and should not be
used for new development.
