INSTALL Call

 

A special call is provided to enable an MFS to perform any special processing that might be required to initialize itself. This is the INSTALL call.

...

All MFSs should thus execute the following logic upon encountering an MFS call:

...

Code Block
INSTALL:
(MFS-specific initialization logic here)
STATUS = 1
RETURN

...

The FLUSH call is a direct call to each filing system currently installed (see INSTALL, above), rather than a call to a specific file. An MFS should therefore not attempt to pass a FLUSH call through to the next filing system.  The BFS argument that normally contains a full list of filing systems will contain only the name of the MFS being called. Attempts to pass the call through to the next BFS will result in load errors.

...

Even if the MFS does not use the FLUSH call, it should include this logic:

...

Code Block
FLUSH:
STATUS = 1
RETURN

...
