BLIOVLCLR (Clipper Summer '87 )
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Function : Clear unused overlays from memory
Syntax : BLIOVLCLR()
Return : None
This function is only effective with the BLINKER OVERLAY DYNAMIC method
of overlay allocation (Clipper Summer '87 only). It performs no
function with the BLINKER OVERLAY FIXED method of overlay allocation.
This function is used to force the Blinker overlay manager to clear out
or discard all inactive overlay procedures from the overlay pool and
return the memory used by them to Clipper.
This may be used in the main module of an application to ensure that
Clipper has the maximum amount of dynamic memory available before
executing another overlay.
Once all inactive overlays are flushed, the overlay pool operating size
is reset to a maximum of the default size or the total size of the
active overlays. The default size when the application starts is the
most recent of the link time BLINKER OVERLAY OPSIZE <size> command or
the /OOnn parameter in the BLINKER environment variable.
Example :
* Clear all inactive overlays
*
