Resource Management Programmer's Guide

Managing Shared Resources with RINs 

Chapter 2 describes how you can use RINs to manage a specific resource
shared by a set of jobs or processes, so that no two jobs or processes
can use the resource at the same time.  This chapter discusses the
following system commands and intrinsics:

 *  :GETRIN command

 *  :FREERIN command

 *  LOCKGLORIN intrinsic

 *  UNLOCKGLORIN intrinsic

 *  GETLOCRIN intrinsic

 *  LOCKLOCRIN intrinsic

 *  UNLOCKLOCRIN intrinsic

 *  LOCRINOWNER intrinsic

 *  FREELOCRIN intrinsic

Appendix A contains a program illustrating the use of the LOCKGLORIN and
UNLOCKGLORIN intrinsics to guarantee exclusive access to selected records
in a data file.
