About: Unit Control Block

An Entity of Type: building, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In IBM mainframe operating systems from the OS/360 and successors line, a Unit Control Block (UCB) is a memory structure, or a control block, that describes any single input/output peripheral device (unit), or an exposure (alias), to the operating system. Certain data within the UCB also instructs the Input/Output Supervisor (IOS) to use certain closed subroutines in addition to normal IOS processing for additional physical device control. Some other operating systems have similar structures.
