Preface

Manual Objectives
The RSX-11M/RSX-11S Information Directory and Master Index introduces the R5X-11M and
R5X-115 documentation sets. It includes an overview of all the R5X-11M and R5X-115 manuals
and a Master Index that will be useful for referring to topics throughout the documentation.
The descriptions of the manuals are intentionally brief; refer to the prefaces of the individual
manuals for additional information. Read the Information Directory before you read other
manuals in either documentation set or use the operating systems.

Intended Audience
The RSX-11M/RSX-11S Information Directory and Master Index is intended for all users of the
R5X-11M and R5X-115 operating systems. No previous knowledge of these operating systems
is required.

Structure of This Manual
The first chapter of this manual briefly describes the manuals in each documentation set. It
identifies the kinds of users that are likely to be interested in particular manuals, and suggests a
sequence for reading them. The second chapter of this manual is a Master Index which includes
index entries for all the manuals in the documentation set.

Associated Manuals
The next manual you should read in this documentation set is the RSX-11M/RSX-11S Release
Notes, which will give you important information on the R5X-11M/R5X-115 software and
documentation.

Chapter 1
Overview of the RSX-11 M and RSX-11 S
Documentation Sets
1. 1 Getting Started
Your kit contains an RSX-llM/RSX-llS baseline system that is ready to run on your PDP-11
processor. You will use this baseline system to generate an RSX-llM or RSX-llS operating
system, tailored to your own particular hardware and software requirements.
Before beginning system generation, you should become familiar with your hardware
configuration and with this documentation set. You should also read the RSX-11M/RSX-11S
Release Notes and either the RSX-11M System Generation and Installation Guide or the RSX-11S
System Generation and Installation Guide, as appropriate. You will then be prepared to choose
among the options offered during system generation.
Figure 1-1 outlines a suggested sequence for reading the manuals in your documentation
set. The sequence begins with introductory and more general manuals and then proceeds to
advanced manuals that assume a greater understanding of the system.

1.2 How the RSX-11 M Manuals Are Organized
The RSX-llM manuals are organized into seven volumes:
•

Introduction

•

Operation

•

Utilities

•

Program Development

•

1/0 Development

•

System Management and Maintenance

•

PDP-11 Record Management Services

Each volume consists of one or more three-ring binders, and each binder contains one or more
manuals. Refer to Table 1-1 for a complete list of the manuals.
The EDT Editor Reference Card and the PDP-11 Programming Card are packaged separately; the
RSX-11M Mini-Reference is also separate, packaged in its own small binder.

1.4. 7. 1 RSX-11 M/M-PLUS RMS-11: An Introduction
This manual introduces the major concepts of RMS-11: record formats, file organizations, and
record access modes. It introduces the RMS-11 operations and utility programs, and defines
the key terms necessary to understand RMS-11 capabilities and functions.
The manual is intended for all users of RMS-11, including both MACR0-11 and high-level
language programmers. Nonprogramming users, programming users who are new to RSX-1 lM
/M-PLUS, and RSX-1 lM/M-PLUS programmers who are new to RMS-11 should find this
document especially useful.
The manual does not provide reference or usage information. You should read this manual
before reading the other RMS-11 documents.

1.4. 7 .2 RSX-11 M/M-PLUS RMS-11 User's Gulde
This manual is a guide to using RMS-11 in file and task design for application programs written
in either MACR0-11 or high-level languages. It is intended for application programmers who
want to achieve optimal performance either with a newly written application or with an existing
application that no longer performs satisfactorily.
The manual first presents general design considerations to help users select the appropriate file
organization for their applications. Then the details of file structure, design, and processing are
discussed for each of the three RMS-11 file organizations: sequential, relative, and indexed.
Finally, the manual describes techniques that can be used to optimize application program
performance, regardless of file organization.
Note that only MACR0-11 programmers can use the full set of RMS-11 capabilities.
Subsets of those capabilities are, however, available to high-level language programmers.
Programmers who are writing applications in high-level languages should consult their language
documentation for details on RMS-11 support.

1.4. 7 .3 RSX-11 M/M-PLUS RMS-11 Utllltles
This reference manual describes the utility programs supported by RMS-11. It is intended for
users such as high-level language programmers and nonprogramming users (system managers
and operators, for example), who either do not require or do not have access to the full set of
RMS-11 capabilities.
The RMS-11 utility programs are as follows:
•

RMS-11 File Design Utility (RMSDES)-An interactive utility for designing and creating
sequential, relative, and indexed files.

•

RMS-11 Indexed File Load Utility (RMSIFL)-Reads records from an RMS-11 file of any
kind of organization and loads them into an indexed file, optimizing all indexes, both
primary and alternates (if any).

•

RMS-11 File Conversion Utility (RMSCNV)-Reads records from an RMS-11 file of any
organization and loads them into another RMS-11 file of any organization. Note that
RMSCNV, unlike RMSIFL, optimizes only the primary index when it loads an indexed file.

Overview of the RSX-11M and RSX-11S Documentation Sets 1-11

The manual presents such programming considerations as how to use RMS-11 macros and
symbols in a MACR0-11 program, how to use the directory and file operations to process
directories and files, and how to use the stream operations and record or block operations to
process records or blocks. Detailed reference information is provided on each RMS-11 operation
macro, including the control blocks it uses, the options that can be specified in each control
block field, and the values returned in control block fields. A summary of each control block,
field, value, and mask is also provided.

programming concepts discussed in the RSX-11M/M-PLUS Guide to Program Development.

Overview of the RSX-11M and RSX-115 Documentation Sets 1-17

1.8.3.6 RSX-11 M/M-PLUS and Micro/RSX Executive Reference Manual
This manual describes the ~xecutive services available for user tasks and the Executive (system)
directives you need to obtain them. You must know how to develop user programs in MACR011 or in another high-level language such as FORTRAN to be able to use the Executive services.

1.8.4 Volume 4: 1/0 Development
This volume consists of manuals that describe the writing and function of I/O drivers on an
RSX-llM system.

1.8.4. 1 RSX-11 M Gulde to Writing an 1/0 Driver
This guide is an aid in writing an I/O driver to service a peripheral device for which DIGITAL
does not supply a driver. It includes information on incorporating a user-written driver in a
system, and on debugging a driver with the Executive Debugging Tool (XDT). A summary of
Executive routines that a driver can call is provided.
Before you read this manual, you should fully understand the operation of the device for which
you require a driver. You must also be familiar with your PDP-11 processor, its peripheral
devices, and the software supplied with the RSX-llM system.

1.8.4.2 RSX-11 M/M-PLUS and Micro/RSX 1/0 Operations Reference Manual
This manual provides reference material on RSX-llM File Control Services (FCS). RSX-llS
uses a subset of FCS and its macro calls. It explains how to use FCS to create, use, and delete
files under program control. You should be familiar with MACR0-11 or FORTRAN program
development procedures before using FCS.
The manual also describes the following:
•

The Get Command Line subroutine (GCML)-Provides a device-independent interface for
user programs retrieving command lines from either a terminal or a disk file.

•

The Command String Interpreter (CSI)-Parses command lines containing file specifications
and switches.

•

The Table-Driven Parser (TPARS)-Parses command lines at two levels: a syntactical level
and a semantic level. It is generated by parse tables created by the user.

Descriptions of ANSI magnetic tape support, unlabeled tape support, and the MAG SET
command are included.

1.8.4.3 RSX-11 M/M-PLUS 1/0 Drivers Reference Manual
This manual describes the functions of all DIGITAL-supplied I/O drivers. It provides the data
needed by the experienced programmer who wants the advantages in space and time of directly
interfacing with I/O drivers.
This manual describes the Files-11 Ancillary Control Processor (Fl lACP) and the Magnetic

Tape Ancillary Control Processor (MTAACP) and documents the queue I/O requests performed
by these processors.

1.8.5 Volume 5: System Management and Maintenance
This volume consists of a set of manuals that describes how to operate your system correctly
and effectively. The manuals describe system management programs and the RSX-llM/MPLUS Error Logging system, and explain how to use diagnostic software and how to retrieve
information to determine the causes of system crashes.

1-18 Overview of the RSX-11M and RSX-115 Documentation Sets

1.8.5. 1 RSX-11 M/M-PLUS System Management Gulde
This manual documents the following programs that the system manager can use to test,

monitor, maintain, and customize an RSX-1 lM/M-PLUS operating system:
•

The Account File Maintenance Program (ACNT)-Creates and maintains accounts on
multiuser protection systems.

•

The Console Logger (CODRV and COT)-Handles 1/0 to the console output device and
records system messages at a terminal and/or in a log file.

•

The 1/0 Exerciser (IOX)-Detects and diagnoses 1/0 problems on tape and disk units.

•

The Bad Block Replacement Control Task (RCT)-Performs bad block handling and recovery
on Mass Storage Control Protocol (MSCP) devices.

•

The Resource Monitoring Display (RMD)-Displays information about the tasks currently
active on the system and the system's available resources.

•

The system shutdown task (SHUTUP)-Shuts down the system in an orderly fashion.

•

The Virtual Monitor Console Routine (VMR)-A subset of MCR commands that you can
use to alter a system image file.

•

The Shuffler (SHF)-Compresses space in system-controlled partitions when a memory
allocation failure occurs.

1.8.5.2 RSX-1 lM/M-PLUS and Micro/RSX Crash Dump Analyzer Reference Manual
This manual explains how to use the Crash Dump Analyzer (CDA) to determine the causes
of system crashes. It contains operating instructions, descriptions of CDA switches and error
messages, examples of CDA output listings, and an explanation of how to interpret the output
listings. The manual also includes system symbolic and data structure macro definitions.

THE RSX-11 M/RSX-11 S Master Index
2. 1 Introduction to the Master Index
The Master Index is a large and comprehensive index to the entire documentation set.
The indexes of the individual manuals have been compiled into the Master Index without
abridgement.
The Master Index will be valuable to new users who are not sure which manual contains the
information they need. It will continue to be valuable as an index to topics that are discussed
(or might logically be discussed) in more than one manual.

2. 1. 1 Format of the Master Index
Each entry in the Master Index is followed by the title of the manual it is referencing. For
example, the complete title RSX-11M/M-PLUS MCR Operations Manual is abbreviated to "MCR".
The titles of all the manuals are in italics. See Table 2-1 for a list of the abbreviated titles.

2. 1.2 Manuals Included In the Master Index
The following table lists all the manuals included in the Master Index and their abbreviated
titles. Note that the indexes for the EDT Editor Manual and the RSX-11M/RSX-11S Release Notes
are not included in the Master Index. Please refer to the individual indexes of these manuals
for the information you need.
