--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This interface is supported for multi-tasking
environments, where more than one process (or task)
may be executing in the system. Usually the
operating system will supply the handler for this
service; this way, the operating system can keep
track of which processes are using each device on
the system.
The operating system will use this service to
initiate the use of a device by a process.
