Abstract
An Output Interface function for a Cooperative Service Interface which allows export of data from a Distributed System Services unit (DSS) to a Network Provider unit (NP) whereby lock pools are shared as well as buffer pools in each unit. Copying of exported data from said DSS to said NP is eliminated by use of an image buffer pool in said Network Provider (NP) (Which holds pointers to data in memory) and which can export the data to an external I/O port.
