TNS/E systems) is used.
pe_memory_pages
Specifies the size of the data stack in 2 KB units. This field is used only for G-
series TNS or accelerated new process image files. If a value is specified for this
field for native object files, the specified value is checked for validity but other-
wise ignored.
pe_name_options
Specifies process naming as:
_TPC_GENERATE_NAME
The system generates the name.
_TPC_NAME_SUPPLIED
The process name is indicated by the pe_process_name field.
_TPC_NO_NAME
The new process is unnamed.
pe_OSS_options
Specifies OSS options. No special action on signals is the default and only
current OSS option.
pe_pfs_size Specifies the size of the PFS for the new process (this field is ignored).
pe_priority Specifies the priority of the new process.
pe_process_name
Points to the null-terminated Guardian process name if
_TPC_NAME_SUPPLIED is specified in the pe_name_options field. For
example, if the Guardian process name is $DELM, the name used is /G/delm.
pe_space_guarantee
Specifies the minimum available swap space to guarantee for the new process.
If the calling process specifies a value, the value must be less than or equal to a
multiple of the page size of the processor in which the new process will run.
Values less than a multiple of the page size are rounded up to the next multiple
of the page size. If the calling process does not specify a value or specifies a 0
(zero) value, the value specified in the native object file of the new process is
used. If no value is specified in the native object file, the default value of 0
(zero) is used, and enough swap space is guaranteed to launch the process.
If the new process requires a guarantee of available swap space and the system
cannot guarantee the required amount, the function call fails, and errno is set to
the value of [EAGAIN].
If a value is specified for this field for G-series TNS or accelerated object files,
the specified value is used for the main stack of the new process.
pe_swap_file_name
Points to a null-terminated string specifying the name of a file in the Guardian
file system to be used as the swap file for the stack segment. For example, if the
Guardian filename is $A.B.C, the name used is /G/a/b/c.
This file cannot have the same name as that of a file used in a preceding call to
the tdm_fork( ) function.
