Generate a memory-mapped library

This is the syntax for the PROLIB command to generate a memory-mapped library from a standard library:

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 a library to the PROPATH environment variable by specifying the file's absolute pathname or its pathname relative to the current working directory.

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 members retain their respective code pages.
