/sys$common/syshlp/helplib.hlb DECTPU, TPU$CLEANUP, Description *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX) |
The cleanup routine is the final routine called in each interaction with DECTPU. It tells DECTPU to clean up its internal data structures and prepare for additional invocations. You can control what is reset by this routine by setting or clearing the flags described previously. When you finish with DECTPU, call this routine to free the memory and restore the characteristics of the terminal to their original settings. If you intend to exit after calling TPU$CLEANUP, do not delete the data structures; the operating system does this automatically. Allowing the operating system to delete the structures improves the performance of your program. Notes 1. When you use the simplified interface, DECTPU automatically sets the following flags: o TPU$V_RESET_TERMINAL o TPU$V_DELETE_BUFFERS o TPU$V_DELETE_JOURNAL o TPU$V_DELETE_WINDOWS o TPU$V_DELETE_EXITH o TPU$V_EXECUTE_PROC o TPU$V_EXECUTE_FILE o TPU$V_PRUNE_CACHE o TPU$V_KILL_PROCESSES 2. If this routine does not return a success status, no other calls to the editor should be made.
