ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for reusing directory search handles in a manner that minimizes the possibility that a handle allocated for a directory search request that is not yet complete will be reused. This method is implemented by assigning a block of system memory at the time of system initialization for the creation of a set of directory search and information retrieval handle structures. Handle structures within the set are allocated as they are needed. When all have been allocated, they are reused, one at a time in a least-recently-used fashion which gives preference to handle structures which have the lowest probability of being associated with an incomplete search request.
