 9 
10 
11 Function:  interfaces with the installation subroutine that frees names
12 on one directory entry so that those names can be used on a replacement
13 entry.  It is part of the Multics Installation System (MIS), which is
14 used to install modifications in the Multics Online Libraries.

17 Syntax:  lfree_name PATHNAME
18          lfn PATHNAME
19 
20 
21 Arguments:
22 PATHNAME
23    is the relative or absolute pathname that identifies the entry whose
24    name is to be freed.  Only the final entryname of the pathname is
25    freed.  All other names on the entry remain intact.  The star
26    convention can not be used.
27 
28 
29 :Entry:  restore:  1983-03-11 lfree_name$restore
30 
31 
32 Function:  This entry point unfrees (or restores) a freed entryname by
33 reversing the algorithm described above.
34 
35 
36 Syntax:  lfree_name$restore PATHNAME
37          lfn$restore PATHNAME
38 
39 
40 Arguments:
41 PATHNAME
42    is the relative or absolute pathname that identifies the restored
43    entryname.  A freed name is constructed from this entryname, the
44    directory entry having the freed name is found, and its name is
45    restored to entryname.
46 
47 
48 Notes:  This entry point calls an installation subroutine that is part
49 of the MIS to free entry names.  This installation subroutine, in turn,
50 calls the installation_tools_ gate into ring 1 to allow the names on
51 ring 1 library segments to be freed.  However, access to
52 installation_tools_ is no longer required in order to use this tool.
