Guardian Procedure Calls Reference Manual

• Segment deallocation
When a segment is deallocated, the swap file end of file (EOF) is set to the larger of these
values:
◦ the EOF when the file was opened by SEGMENT_ALLOCATE_
◦ the end of the highest numbered page that is written to the swap file
• Shared segments
A shared segment remains in existence until it has been deallocated by all the processes that
allocated it.
Example
error := SEGMENT_DEALLOCATE_ ( segment^id, , error^detail );
