Host Initialize Resource

This Host Interface tool creates and initializes an instance of a resource pool. On some systems you can use the same device name for all sessions.  However, on other systems a given device name cannot be used concurrently; some of these systems allow an arbitrary device name, but some systems have a fixed pool of device names from which to select.

A resource pool is simply a list of strings. Once you initialize the pool with the resource list, they can pass the resource pool name to the HostConnectEX tool, and it will assign an unused resource from the pool. If no resources are available in the pool, the request will fail after the specifiable number of reties.  When the connection is disconnected, the resource is released back to the pool.
