  2. ;      MODULE NAME:   EMM19_B.ASM                                             ;
  3. ;                                                                             ;
  4. ;    FUNCTION NAME:   set_handle_attrib                                       ;
  5. ;                                                                             ;
  6. ;      DESCRIPTION:   This function can be used to modify the attribute which ;
  7. ;                     a handle has associated with it.  The attributes which  ;
  8. ;                     a handle may have are volatile or non-volatile.         ;
  9. ;                                                                             ;
  10. ;                     If the handle's attribute has been set to non-volatile, ;
  11. ;                     the handle, its name (if it is assigned one), and the   ;
  12. ;                     contents of the pages allocated to the handle are all   ;
  13. ;                     maintained after a warm boot.  However, this function   ;
  14. ;                     may be disabled with a user option, or may not be       ;
  15. ;                     supported by the memory board or system hardware.       ;
  16. ;                                                                             ;
  17. ;                     A volatile handle attribute instructs the memory        ;
  18. ;                     manager to deallocate both the handle and the pages     ;
  19. ;                     allocated to it after a warm boot.  If all handles      ;
  20. ;                     have the volatile attribute (the default attribute)     ;
  21. ;                     at warm boot, the handle directory will be empty and    ;
  22. ;                     all of expanded memory will be initialized to zero      ;
  23. ;                     immediately after a warm boot.                          ;
  24. ;                                                                             ;
  25. ;           PASSED:   attrib:                                                 ;
  26. ;                        is an open EMM handle's new attribute.  A value of   ;
  27. ;                        zero indicates that the handle should be made        ;
  28. ;                        volatile.  A value of one indicates that the handle  ;
  29. ;                        should be made non-volatile.                         ;

  31. ;                     handle:                                                 ;
  32. ;                        is an open EMM handle.                               ;

  34. ;         RETURNED:   status:                                                 ;
  35. ;                        is the status EMM returns from the call.  All other  ;
  36. ;                        returned results are valid only if the status        ;
  37. ;                        returned is zero.  Otherwise they are undefined.     ;
