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).
