rminit(9r)
NAME
  rminit - General: Initializes a resource map

SYNOPSIS
  void rminit(
	  struct map *map_struct,
	  long size,
	  long addr,
	  char *name,
	  int mapsize );

ARGUMENTS
  map_struct
      Specifies a pointer to a map structure to be initialized by a call to
      rminit.

  size
      Specifies the size elements used to initialize the resource map.

  addr
      Specifies the address that identifies the start of the free elements.

  name
      Specifies the name for the resource map. The rminit routine uses this
      name in warning messages when the map overflows.

  mapsize
      Specifies the maximum number of fragments.

DESCRIPTION
  The rminit routine initializes the specified resource map to have mapsize -
  2 segments. The routine also identifies this resource map with the string
  passed to the name argument. It prints this name if the slots become so
  fragmented that space is lost.

  The resource map itself is initialized with size elements free, starting at
  the address specified in addr.

NOTES
  The caller is responsible for providing any locking necessary for the map
  structure that the system passes to the rminit routine.

RETURN VALUES
  None
