Example Code

1. Introduction

This is the catalogue of example code for the Memory Pool System product.

The example code shows you how to write code that uses the MPS. (In other words, how to use facilities in "mps.h").

The simplest example — "hello-world" — gets you started using the MPS to allocate some memory to store and print the text "hello, world".

This document is not confidential. The readership of this document is developers of client code that uses the MPS interface.
