Chapter 1 Introduction
Any element of an HP 3000 computer system that your program can access
through MPE XL can be considered a resource. A resource can be an input
or output device, a file, a subroutine, a library procedure, or a private
data area.
A major function of MPE XL is to manage resources in such a way as to
make your programming efforts easier and more efficient. MPE XL also
provides you with system intrinsics to accomplish various tasks related
to managing the resources your program may access.
This manual describes two such resource management tasks available to you
through the operating system:
* Managing shared resources with Resource Identification Numbers
(RINs).
* Dynamic loading of executable library procedures.
All intrinsics discussed in this manual is described in greater detail in
the MPE XL Intrinsics Reference Manual (32650-90028). Commands discussed
in this manual are described in the MPE XL Commands Reference Manual
(32650-90003).
