37<H2>Description</H2>
38<P>Set the memory region that should not be cleared by calling <a href="../Init/OSInit.html"><code>OSInit</code></a> after <code><a href="OSExec.html">OSExecl</a></code>, <code><a href="OSExec.html">OSExecv</a></code>, or <A href="OSRestart.html"><CODE>OSRestart</CODE></A>. By default, <a href="../Init/OSInit.html"><code>OSInit</code></a> clears all the arena, but if you call this function, you can leave [<i><code>start</code></i>, <i><code>end</code></i>) uncleared. Be aware that this function only affects the <a href="../Init/OSInit.html"><code>OSInit</code></a> function after <code><a href="OSExec.html">OSExecl</a></code>, <code><a href="OSExec.html">OSExecv</a></code>, or <A href="OSRestart.html"><CODE>OSRestart</CODE></A>.</P>
39<P>[ (<SPAN class="argument">start</SPAN>, <SPAN class="argument">end</SPAN> must be included in the area [MAX(0x8070_0000, program size), 0x8120_0000]. (That is, <SPAN class="argument">start</SPAN> must be greater than or equal to either 0x8070_0000 or [0x8070_0000 + program size], and <SPAN class="argument">end</SPAN> must be less than or equal to 0x8120_0000. ) If both are specified to be <CODE>NULL</CODE>, the default action will be taken. In other words, the <A href="../Init/OSInit.html"><CODE>OSInit</CODE></A> function will clear all arenas.</P>
