  to the Resource Manager by describing the data structures, routines, and resources it uses. Each routine description also follows a standard format, which presents the routine declaration followed by a description of every parameter of the routine.

  result codes.
• "Summary of the Resource Manager." This section provides the Pascal and
  C interfaces for the constants, data structures, routines, and result codes associated with the Resource Manager. It also includes relevant assembly- language interface information.
