 NAME       : HCPIMGBK
 DESCRIPTION: Image library/NLS Message Repository
              Block
 DSECT      : IMGBK
 FUNCTION   : This block is used for communications
              purposes when CP users request access
              to an Image library or NLS message
              repository file.
 LOCATED BY : (Images)  Pointer in RSPBK
              (NLS)     Pointer in LNGBK
 CREATED BY : (Images)  HCPSIL - when a printer is started
              (NLS)     HCPNLS - when the first user requests
              the language
 DELETED BY : (Images) HCPSIL - when a printer is drained
              (NLS)    HCPNLS - when the last user releases
              the language
 SERIALIZED : Individual IMGBKs are serialized by holding the
              symbolic lock on the filename of the item.
              All image, NLS, NSS and DCSS system data files are
              locked/unlocked with the same lockword (NSUSYMAN),
              using entry points HCPLOCPQ/HCPLOCPD.
              SNTBKs for image libraries and NLS files are kept
              on the same queue, anchored in HCPIMGLK.
              This queue is locked/unlocked via the macros
              HCPLKIMG/HCPULIMG.
 RELOCATION CONSIDERATIONS : None
 COMMENTS   : This is a variable length control block.
              It consists of the header information plus
              a variable number of virtual addresses.
