VMS Help RTL Routines, LIB$, LIB$GET_VM_PAGE  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    The Get Virtual Memory Page routine allocates a specified number
    of contiguous pages on VAX systems or pagelets on Alpha systems
    of memory in the program region and returns the virtual address
    of the first allocated page on VAX or pagelet on Alpha.

    Format

      LIB$GET_VM_PAGE  number-of-pages ,base-address

1 - Returns

    Number of pages on VAX systems or pagelets on Alpha systems. The
    number-of-pages argument is the address of a longword integer
    that specifies the number of contiguous pages on VAX systems or
    pagelets on Alpha systems to be allocated. The value of number-
    of-pages must be greater than 0.

 base-address

    OpenVMS usage:address

    newly allocated block of pages on VAX systems or pagelets on
    Alpha systems.
