ds

data server

Syntax:

ds &

Options:

None.

Description:

The data server is used by processes that store data for use by other processes. Processes can store or retrieve data using a set of data server library calls. The HTTP server slinger makes use of the data server and the data server library.

Data is stored using variable names that represent buffers of data. All of the variables are global and can be accessed by any process (no attempt at access restriction is made), so only one instance of the variable (name) can exist in the data server.
