<operating system> (RMS) Procedures in the VMS operating
system that programs call to process files and records
within files. RMS allows programs to issue GET and PUT
requests at the record level (record I/O) as well as read and
write blocks (block I/O). VMS RMS is an integral part of
the system software; its procedures run in executive mode.
