2483.0. "documents for mcc_lib_detach and so on ?" by TAEC::WEBER () Wed Mar 04 1992 13:20

    
    Where are documented the routines
    mcc_lib_detach, mcc_lib_spawn and mcc_lib_xxx in general ?
    These are indicted in the MM progrmaming guide, chapter 17.3
    of November, 1991 ?
    They are not described in SRMs docs.
    Thanks to answer
    Florence

2483.1	New SRM not yet available	TOOK::MINTZ	Erik Mintz, DECmcc Development, dtn 226-5033	`Wed Mar 04 1992 13:40`	9
	There are a number of changes that will be documented in the V1.2 SRM, which is not yet available. However, I'm not sure that these particular routines were intended for general use, and their inclusion in the manual may have been an oversight. -- Erik
2483.2	These routines are useful for portable MM's	NANOVX::ROBERTS	Keith Roberts - DECmcc Toolkit Team	`Wed Mar 04 1992 14:32`	7
	Yes .. the MMP manual certainly says to use these routines. By using them you can write your MM once for both VMS and Ultrix, as the Kernel will do the right thing for you (Operating System dependent). I believe these routines must be documented for v1.2 ... /keith
2483.3	Not planned for SRM	TOOK::MINTZ	Erik Mintz, DECmcc Development, dtn 226-5033	`Thu Mar 05 1992 09:35`	7
	The current plan does not include documenting these routines for the V1.2 SRM, (which means they should be removed from the toolkit documentation). DECthreads (CMA) already provides wrapper routines for these functions, and DECmcc does not plan to provide another layer for what are basic system routines (rather than management specific routines).

Erik, If there are common DECthread routines (which work for both VMS and ULTRIX) then by all means these are the routines which we should recommend MM developers to use...and the Toolkit documentation will be updated to reflect this. But - what are these routines? and are the identical in form & function for both Operating Systems? /keith

	No they are not identical but it is not MCC's job to maintain a library of portable OS interface routines. This would be an unbelievable time sink. The less we make MCC into an operating system the more time we can spend on enterprise management better.
