int sys$crmpsc_file_64 (struct _generic_64 *region_id_64, unsigned __int64 file_offset_64, unsigned __int64 length_64, unsigned short int chan, unsigned int acmode, unsigned int flags, void *(*(return_va_64)), unsigned __int64 *return_length_64,...);
region_id_64
OpenVMS usage: region identifier type: quadword (unsigned) access: read only mechanism: by 32- or 64-bit reference
The region ID associated with the region to map the private disk file section. The file VADEF.H in SYS$STARLET_C.TLB and the $VADEF macro in STARLET.MLB define a symbolic name for each of the three default regions in P0, P1, and P2 space.The following region IDs are defined:
Symbol Region VA$C_P0 Program region VA$C_P1 Control region VA$C_P2 64-bit program region Other region IDs, as returned by the $CREATE_REGION_64 service, can be specified.
file_offset_64
OpenVMS usage: byte offset type: quadword (unsigned) access: read only mechanism: by value
Byte offset into the file that marks the beginning of the section. The file_offset_64 argument is a quadword containing this number. If you specify the file_offset_64 argument as 0, the section is created beginning with the first byte in the file.The file_offset_64 argument must be a multiple of virtual disk blocks.
length_64
OpenVMS usage: byte count type: quadword (unsigned) access: read only mechanism: value
Length, in bytes, of the private disk file section to be created and mapped to. The length specified must be 0 or a multiple of virtual disk blocks. If the length specified is 0 or extends beyond end-of-file (EOF), the disk file is mapped up to and including the virtual block number that contains EOF.chan
OpenVMS usage: longword type: longword (unsigned) access: read only mechanism: by value
Number of the channel on which the file has been accessed. The chan argument is a longword containing this number. The access mode at which the channel was opened must be equal to or less privileged than the access mode of the caller.Use the OpenVMS Record Management Services (RMS) macro $OPEN to access a file; the file options parameter in the file access block must indicate a user file open (UFO) keyword.
acmode
OpenVMS usage: access_mode type: longword (unsigned) access: read only mechanism: by value
Access mode that is to be the owner of the pages created during the mapping. The acmode argument is a longword containing the access mode.The $PSLDEF macro in STARLET.MLB and the file PSLDEF.H in SYS$STARLET_C.TLB define the following symbols and their values for the four access modes:
Value Symbolic Name Access Mode 0 PSL$C_KERNEL Kernel 1 PSL$C_EXEC Executive 2 PSL$C_SUPER Supervisor 3 PSL$C_USER User The most privileged access mode used is the access mode of the caller. The calling process can delete pages only if those pages are owned by an access mode equal to or less privileged than the access mode of the calling process.
flags
OpenVMS usage: mask_longword type: longword (unsigned) access: read only mechanism: by value
Flag mask specifying the characteristics of the private section to be created. The flags argument is a longword bit vector in which each bit corresponds to a flag. The $SECDEF macro and the SECDEF.H file define a symbolic name for each flag. You construct the flags argument by performing a logical OR operation on the symbol names for all desired flags.The following table describes each flag that is valid for the $CRMPSC_FILE_64 service:
Flag Description SEC$M_CRF Pages are copy-on-reference. SEC$M_DZRO Pages are demand-zero pages. By default, they are not zeroed when copied. Note that SEC$M_DZRO and SEC$M_CRF cannot both be set and that SEC$M_DZRO set and SEC$M_WRT clear is an invalid combination.
SEC$M_EXPREG Pages are mapped into the first available space at the current end of the specified region. SEC$M_NO_OVERMAP Pages cannot overmap existing address space. By default, pages can overmap existing address space. SEC$M_WRT Pages form a read/write section. By default, pages form a read-only section. All other bits in the flags argument are reserved for future use by HP and should be specified as 0. The condition value SS$_IVSECFLG is returned if any undefined bits are set or if an illegal combination of flags is set.
return_va_64
OpenVMS usage: address type: quadword address access: write only mechanism: by 32- or 64-bit reference
The lowest process virtual address into which the private disk file section was mapped. The return_va_64 argument is the 32- or 64-bit virtual address of a naturally aligned quadword into which the service returns the virtual address.return_length_64
OpenVMS usage: byte count type: quadword (unsigned) access: write only mechanism: by 32- or 64-bit reference
The 32- or 64-bit virtual address of a naturally aligned quadword into which the service returns the length of the usable virtual address range mapped in bytes. This length might differ from the total amount mapped. If the section being mapped does not completely fill the last page used to map the section, the return_va_64 and return_length_64 arguments indicate the highest address that actually maps the section.
fault_cluster
OpenVMS usage: byte count type: longword (unsigned) access: read only mechanism: by value
Page fault cluster in byte units indicating how many pages are to be brought into memory when a page fault occurs for a single page. The fault cluster specified will be rounded up to a multiple of CPU-specific pages.If this argument is specified as 0, the process default page fault cluster will be used. If this argument is specified as more than the maximum allowed for the system, no condition value will be returned. The systemwide maximum will be used.
start_va_64
OpenVMS usage: address type: quadword address access: read only mechanism: by value
The starting virtual address to map the private disk file section. The specified virtual address must be a CPU-specific page aligned address. If the flag SEC$M_EXPREG is specified, the start_va_64 argument must not be specified or must be specified as 0. If SEC$M_EXPREG is set and the start_va_64 argument is nonzero, the condition value SS$_IVSECFLG is returned.
The Create and Map Private Disk File Section service allows a process to create a map to a private disk file section. Creating a private disk file section involves mapping all or part of a disk file as a section. The section is mapped from a low address to a high address whether the section is mapped in a region that grows from low to high addresses or from high to low addresses.The flag SEC$M_WRT applies only to the way in which the newly created section is mapped. For a file to be made writable, the channel used to open the file must allow write access to the file.
If the condition value SS$_ACCVIO is returned by this service, a value cannot be returned in the memory locations pointed to by the return_va_64 and return_length_64 arguments.
If a condition value other than SS$_ACCVIO is returned, the returned address and returned length indicate the pages that were successfully mapped before the error occurred. If no pages were mapped, the return_va_64 argument will contain the value --1, and a value cannot be returned in the memory location pointed to by the return_length_64 argument.
None
The working set quota (WSQUOTA) of the process must be sufficient to accommodate the increased length of the process page table required by the increase in virtual address space.
The process must have sufficient byte count quota to satisfy the request.
If the section pages are copy-on-reference, the process must have sufficient paging file quota (PGFLQUOTA).

gs_name_64
OpenVMS usage: section_name type: character-coded text string access: read only mechanism: by 32- or 64-bit descriptor--fixed-length string descriptor
Name of the global section. The gs_name_64 argument is the 32- or 64-bit virtual address of a naturally aligned 32- or 64-bit string descriptor pointing to this name string.ident_64
OpenVMS usage: section_id type: quadword (unsigned) access: read only mechanism: by 32- or 64-bit reference
Identification value specifying the version number of a global section. The ident_64 argument is a quadword containing three fields. The ident_64 argument is the 32- or 64-bit virtual address of a naturally aligned quadword that contains the identification value.The first longword specifies the matching criteria in its low-order 2 bits. The valid values, symbolic names by which they can be specified, and their meanings are as follows:
Value Symbolic Name Match Criteria 0 SEC$K_MATALL Match all versions of the section. 1 SEC$K_MATEQU Match only if major and minor identifications match. 2 SEC$K_MATLEQ Match if the major identifications are equal and the minor identification of the mapper is less than or equal to the minor identification of the global section. When a section is mapped at creation time, the match control field is ignored. If you specify the ident_64 argument as 0, the version number and match control fields default to 0.
The version number is in the second longword. The version number contains two fields: a minor identification in the low-order 24 bits and a major identification in the high-order 8 bits. You can assign values for these fields by installation convention to differentiate versions of global sections. If no version number is specified when a section is created, processes that specify a version number when mapping cannot access the global section.
prot
OpenVMS usage: file_protection type: longword (unsigned) access: read only mechanism: by value
Protection to be applied to the global demand-zero section. The mask contains four 4-bit fields. Bits are read from right to left in each field. The following diagram depicts the mask:
Cleared bits indicate that read, write, execute, and delete access, in that order, are granted to the particular category of user. Only read, write, and execute access are meaningful for section protection. Delete access bits are ignored. Read access also grants execute access for those situations where execute access applies. If zero is specified, read access and write access are granted to all users.
| OpenVMS usage: | byte count |
| type: | quadword (unsigned) |
| access: | read only |
| mechanism: | by value |
Creating a memory-resident global section with shared page table does not imply that the global section must have an even multiple of CPU-specific page table pages. The global section might not fully use the last page table page. |

| type: | quadword (unsigned) |
| access: | read only |
| mechanism: | by 32- or 64-bit reference |
The file VADEF.H in SYS$STARLET_C.TLB and the $VADEF macro in STARLET.MLB define a symbolic name for each of the three default regions in P0, P1, and P2 space.
The following region IDs are defined:
| Symbol | Region |
|---|---|
| VA$C_P0 | Program region |
| VA$C_P1 | Control region |
| VA$C_P2 | 64-bit program region |
Other region IDs, as returned by the $CREATE_REGION_64 service, can be specified.
| OpenVMS usage: | byte offset |
| type: | quadword (unsigned) |
| access: | read only |
| mechanism: | by value |
If a shared page table region is specified by the region_id_64 argument, section_offset_64 must be an even multiple of the larger of the number of bytes that can be mapped by a CPU-specific page. For Integrity server systems, the alignment of section offsets must also be an integer multiple of the page size used to map VA space at this offset.
HP recommends that you avoid any partial mapping of memory-resident sections when you use shared page tables on Integrity server systems. If you cannot avoid this, set bit 4 in the system parameter MMG_CTLFLAGS to limit the effective page size to the number of bytes that can be mapped by a page.
| OpenVMS usage: | access_mode |
| type: | longword (unsigned) |
| access: | read only |
| mechanism: | by value |
If the memory-resident global section is created with shared page tables, this is the access mode that is stored in the owner, read, and write fields of the corresponding shared page table entries (PTEs).
The $PSLDEF macro in STARLET.MLB and the file PSLDEF.H in SYS$STARLET_C.TLB define the following symbols and their values for the four access modes:
| Value | Symbolic Name | Access Mode |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | PSL$C_KERNEL | Kernel |
| 1 | PSL$C_EXEC | Executive |
| 2 | PSL$C_SUPER | Supervisor |
| 3 | PSL$C_USER | User |
The most privileged access mode used is the access mode of the caller. The calling process can delete pages only if those pages are owned by an access mode equal to or less privileged than the access mode of the calling process.
Address space cannot be created within a region that has a create mode associated with it that is more privileged than the caller's mode. The condition value SS$_IVACMODE is returned if the caller is less privileged than the create mode for the region.
