Preface

Manual Objectives
The RSX-11M-PLUS Information Directory and Master Index introduces the RSX-11M-PLUS
documentation set. It describes all the RSX-11M-PLUS manuals and contains a Master Index

that is useful for referring to topics described in manuals in the documentation set. The
descriptions of the manuals are intentionally brief; refer to the prefaces of individual manuals
for additional information. Read the Information Directory before you read other manuals in
the documentation set or use the system.

Intended Audience

The RSX-11M-PLUS Information Directory and Master Index is intended for all users of the
RSX-11M-PLUS operating system. No previous knowledge of the system is required.

Structure of This Manual
The first chapter of this manual briefly describes the manuals in the documentation set. It
identifies the type of users that are likely to be interested in particular manuals, and suggests a
sequence for reading them. The second chapter of this manual contains 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-PLUS Release Notes,
which will give you important information on the RSX-1 1M-PLUS software and documentation.

Chapter 1

Overview of the RSX-11M-PLUS Documentation Set
1.1 Getting Started
Your kit contains an RSX-11M-PLUS baseline system that is ready to run on your PDP-11
processor. You will use this baseline system to generate an RSX-11M-PLUS system, tailored
to your own particular hardware and software requirements.

Before beginning system generation, you should become familiar with your RSX-11M-PLUS
hardware configuration and with this documentation set, and you should thoroughly read the
RSX-11M-PLUS Release Notes and the RSX-11M-PLUS System Generation and Installation Guide.
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 proceeds to advanced
manuals that assume a greater understanding of the system.

1.2 How the Manuals are Organized
The RSX-11M-PLUS 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-PLUS Mini-Reference is also separate, coming with its own small binder.

1.4.6.1 RSX-11M/M-PLUS System Management Guide
This manual documents the following programs that the system manager can use to test,

monitor, maintain, and customize an RSX-11M-PLUS operating system:

Account File Maintenance Program (ACNT)—Creates and maintains accounts on multiuser

protection systems.

Console Logger (CODRV and COT)—Handles I1/O to the console output device and records

system messages at a terminal and/or in a log file.

1/0 Exerciser (IOX)—Detects and diagnoses I/O problems on tape and disk units.

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

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

System Shutdown Task (SHUTUP)—Shuts down the system in an orderly fashion.

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

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

System Configuration Services (CON and HRC)—Reconfigure an RSX-11M-PLUS system
in order to bypass faulty hardware elements and isolate the system from their effects.

The manual includes information on pool monitoring support and the PMT program; how to
set up and run the Queue Manager; how to extend and alter DCL; how to write command

line interpreters (CLIs); Resource Accounting; queue optimization; shadow recording; and disk

data caching. The Serial Despooler and RSX-11M-PLUS system conventions are described in
separate appendixes.

1.4.6.2 RSX-11M/M-PLUS Error Logging Manual
This manual explains the RSX-11M/M-PLUS Error Logging system, a combination of tasks that
collect and report information about hardware-related events on an RSX-11M-PLUS system.

The Error Logging system allows you to generate event reports in brief or full format, including
information on the state of the system or hardware when the event occurred.

The manual includes chapters on the following:
®

The Error Log Task (ERRLOG) and the Error Log Interface (EL)—ERRLOG obtains error
information from the Executive and drivers and writes the information into the error log
file. ELI sends user commands to ERRLOG.

The Report Generator (RPT)—Generates Error Log Reports from the error log file.

The Control File Language compiler (CFL)—Updates and modifies DIGITAL-supplied control
file modules, or adds error logging support for non-DIGITAL devices.

1.4.6.3 RSX-11M/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.

1.4.7 Volume 7: PDP-11 Record Management Services
This volume is composed of a set of manuals that describes the PDP-11 Record Management
Services (RMS-11). For information on where the RMS-11 files and utilities can be found on

the RSX-11M-PLUS distribution kit, see the RSX-11M-PLUS System Generation and Installation
Guide.

1.4.7.1 RSX-11M/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 MACRO-11 and highlevel language programmers. Nonprogramming users, programming users who are new to
RSX-11M/M-PLUS, and RSX-11M/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 manuals.

1.4.7.2 RSX-11M/M-PLUS RMS-11 User’'s Guide
This manual is a guide to using RMS-11 in file and task design for application programs written
in either MACRO-11 or high-level languages. It is intended for application programmers who
want to achieve optimal performance either with a new application they are writing 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 MACRO-11 programmers can use the full set of RMS-11 capabilities. Subsets
of those capabilities are 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-11M/M-PLUS RMS-11 Utilities

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 the following;:

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
RMSCNYV, unlike RMSIFL, optimizes only the primary index when it loads an indexed file.

Overview of the RSX-11M-PLUS Documentation Set

1-11

RMS-11 File Display Utility (RMSDSP)—Produces a concise description of any RMS-11
file, including backup files.

RMS-11 File Back-Up Utility (RMSBCK)—Transfers the contents of an RMS-11 file to
another file, on another device, to preserve it in case the original file is lost or damaged.

RMS-11 File Restoration Utility (RMSRST)—Restores files that were backed up by RMSBCK,
so that they can be accessed by user programs.

The manual also documents RMSDEF, which has been superseded by RMSDES.

1.4.7.4 RSX-11M/M-PLUS RMS-11 Macro Programmer’s Guide
This document is a reference manual describing the macros and symbols that make up the
interface between a MACRO-11 program and the RMS-11 operation routines. It is intended

for both MACRO-11 programmers and high-level language programmers who want to use the
full set of RMS-11 capabilities in a MACRO-11 subprogram.
|
The manual presents such programming considerations as how to use RMS-11 macros and
a MACRO-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, 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,

symbols in

and mask is also provided.

In addition, the manual describes the RMS-11 completion codes, fatal error codes, and assemblytime messages.

1.4.8 RSX-11M-PLUS Mini-Reference
This small manual is a convenient reference for all system users.

It includes sections on the
Monitor Console Routine (MCR), the DIGITAL Command Language (DCL), the Task Builder
(TKB), the RSX-11M/M-PLUS utilities, the On-Line Debugging Tool (ODT), the Error Logging

system, the Batch Processor, the Queue Manager (QMG), the I/O error codes, the directive error
codes, the Executive directive summary, the RMS-11 utilities, and the RMS-11 error codes. The
manual also includes Radix-50 conversion tables and the ASCII character set.

1.4.9 EDT Editor Reference Card

2.1 Introduction to the Master Index

The Master Index is a 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 is valuable to new users who are not sure which manual contains the
information they need. It is valuable to all users 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 manuals are in italics. See the next section for a list of the abbreviated titles.

2.1.2 Manuals Included in the Master Index
Table 2-1 contains a list of all the manuals included in the Master Index. The Abbreviated
Title column lists the shortened titles of manuals appearing in the Master Index, whereas the

Complete Title column lists the full titles of manuals. Note that indexes for the EDT Editor
