TOPS-10 Monitor Tables

This document, revised in April 1986 for TOPS-10 V7.03, provides a detailed technical reference for the data structures and tables managed by the TOPS-10 monitor and ANF-10 network software. It is intended for system analysts and programmers involved in the maintenance and development of the operating system.

The content covers: - Monitor Tables: Descriptions, definitions, and usage of various control blocks, including the Access Table (ACC), Device Data Block (DDB), CPU Data Block (CDB), and Connection Block (CB). - ANF-10 Tables: Specialized network structures documented in Appendix A. - Conventions: Standardized formats for describing assembly code structures, including field breakdowns and usage notes.

Key structures detailed include disk cache management, line data blocks for terminals, and interrupt service routine tables. Users are cautioned that these tables are specific to KL processor-based systems and should be used in conjunction with monitor source code listings.
