MPE/iX Intrinsics Reference Manual (32650-90875)

Chapter 3 33
Intrinsic Tasks
3 Intrinsic Tasks
This chapter is a quick reference for locating intrinsics that perform designated tasks.
Table 3-1. through Table 3-18. describe the general task, a subtask to the general task, and
the intrinsic associated with it. The general task is, in most cases, the title of a
programmer's guide and the subtasks correlate to chapters within that programmer's
guide. For information about the intrinsic specifically, refer to the later chapters of this
manual. For information about the use of an intrinsic, refer to the specified programmer's
guide.
The tasks covered are:
• Accessing Files (Table 3-1. on page 33).
• Accessing Command Interpreter Features (Table 3-1. on page 33).
• Managing Processes (Table 3-3. on page 35).
