Generating a memory-mapped Library

To generate a memory-mapped library from a standard library, enter the following command:

Operating system	Syntax
UNIX Windows	prolib standard-library-name -makeshared mapped-library-name

standard-library-name

Specifies the name of the standard library from which to generate the memory-mapped library. The library name must have a .pl extension. You can add libraries to the PROPATH environment variable by specifying the file’s absolute or relative pathname.

Note: Save the standard library. It is the source of modification for the memory-mapped library. Each time you modify the standard library you must regenerate the memory-mapped library.

mapped-library-name

Specifies the name of the memory-mapped library you are generating. The library name must have a .pl extension.

Note: You cannot modify a memory-mapped library directly. To modify a memory-mapped library, you must modify its source standard library and regenerate the memory-mapped library.

PROLIB generates a memory-mapped library with the standard library’s code page. All text segments in all r-code procedures retain their respective code pages.

For information about code page compatibility, see the "Code page compatibility" section.
