PM_$INTRO                         Domain/OS                          PM_$INTRO


NAME
     intro - the Domain/OS Process Manager

SYNOPSIS (C)
     #include <apollo/base.h>
     #include <apollo/pm.h>

SYNOPSIS (Pascal)
     %include '/sys/ins/base.ins.pas';
     %include '/sys/ins/pm.ins.pas';

SYNOPSIS (FORTRAN)
     %include '/sys/ins/base.ins.ftn'
     %include '/sys/ins/pm.ins.ftn'

DESCRIPTION
     The pm_$ calls supply information from the environment of the calling
     process.

     Pm_$get_home_txt reports the home directory of the calling process, and
     pm_$get_sid_txt reports the Subject Identifier (SID) of the calling pro-
     cess.

   Variable
     pm_$errout
          A per-process external variable whose value is the stream ID of the
          standard error output.  Domain/OS supports two different object for-
          mats:  the old object format (obj) and the new Common Object File
          Format (COFF) which use different standard stream IDs.  Pm_$errout
          allows dynamically loaded code to use one model or the other depend-
          ing on the object format.

   Data Type
     pm_$sidtext_t
          An array for passing SIDs as strings.
