NEWPROCESSNOWAIT Procedure
(Superseded by PROCESS_LAUNCH_ Procedure )
Managed Swap Facility (KMSF) Manual. To reserve swap space for the
process, create the process using the PROCESS_LAUNCH_ procedure and
specify the Z^SPACE^GUARANTEE field of the
param-list parameter.
Alternatively, use the
nld utility to set TNS/R native process attributes or the
eld utilitiy to set TNS/E native process attributes.
For TNS processes on RVUs preceding the D42 RVU, this field is the internal-
format file name of a file to be used as a swap file for the data stack. 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.
filenames[36:37] = tag
is a 2-word value used to identify the completion message from the call to
NEWPROCESSNOWAIT. See “Message.”
priority input
INT:value
is a value passed out of
priority that has three parts:
<0> is the debug bit. If priority.<0> = 1, then a code breakpoint is set
on the first executable instruction of the program’s MAIN procedure.
<1> indicates the interpretation of the additional fields of the filenames
parameter. If
priority.<1> = 1, the additional fields in
filenames are used. If priority.<1> = 0, these extra fields are
ignored.
<2:7> should be 0.
<8:15> is the execution priority assigned to the new process {1:199}. If
priority.<8:15> = 0, then the priority of the caller of procedure
NEWPROCESSNOWAIT is used. If a value greater than 199 is
specified, then 199 is used.
If
priority is omitted, the caller’s priority is used.
memory-pages input
INT:value
For TNS processes, specifies the minimum number of 2048-byte memory pages
allocated to the new process for user data. The actual amount of memory
allocated is processor-dependent. If
memory-pages is omitted or is less than the
value assigned when the program is compiled (or created with Binder), then the
compilation value is used. In any case, the maximum number of pages permitted
is 64.
For native processes, this parameter is ignored. To override default values, call
the PROCESS_LAUNCH_ procedure to create a new process and specify the
