Removes the specified identifier from the rights list of the process or the system. If the identifier is listed as a holder of any other identifier, the appropriate holder records are also deleted. Format SYS$REVOKID [pidadr] ,[prcnam] ,[id] ,[name] ,[prvatr] C Prototype int sys$revokid (unsigned int *pidadr, void *prcnam, struct _generic_64 *id, void *name, unsigned int *prvatr, unsigned int segment);
1 – Arguments
pidadr OpenVMS usage:process_id type: longword (unsigned) access: modify mechanism: by reference Process identification (PID) number of the process affected when $REVOKID completes execution. The pidadr argument is the address of a longword containing the PID of the process to be affected. You use -1 to indicate the system rights list. When pidadr is passed, it is also returned; therefore, you must pass it as a variable rather than a constant. prcnam OpenVMS usage:process_name type: character-coded text string access: read only mechanism: by descriptor-fixed-length string descriptor Process name on which $REVOKID operates. The prcnam argument is the address of a character string descriptor containing the process name. The maximum length of the name is 15 characters. Because the UIC group number is interpreted as part of the process name, you must use pidadr to specify the rights list of a process in a different group. id OpenVMS usage:rights_id type: quadword (unsigned) access: modify mechanism: by reference Identifier and attributes to be removed when $REVOKID completes execution. The id argument is the address of a quadword containing the binary identifier code to be removed in the first longword and the attributes in the second longword. Symbol values are offsets to the bits within the longword. You can also obtain the values as masks with the appropriate bit set using the prefix KGB$M rather than KGB$V. The following symbols for each bit position are defined in the system macro library ($KGBDEF): Bit Position Meaning When Set KGB$V_DYNAMIC Allows unprivileged holders of the identifier to remove it from or add it to the process rights database by using the DCL command SET RIGHTS_LIST. KGB$V_NOACCESS Makes any access rights of the identifier null and void. This attribute is intended as a modifier for a resource identifier or the Subsystem attribute. KGB$V_RESOURCE Allows holders of an identifier to charge disk space to the identifier. It is used only for file objects. KGB$V_SUBSYSTEM Allows holders of the identifier to create and maintain protected subsystems by assigning the Subsystem ACE to the application images in the subsystem. You must specify either id or name. Because the id argument is returned as well as passed if you specify name, you must pass it as a variable rather than a constant in this case. name OpenVMS usage:char_string type: character-coded text string access: read only mechanism: by descriptor-fixed-length string descriptor Name of the identifier removed when $REVOKID completes execution. The name argument is the address of a descriptor pointing to the name of the identifier. prvatr OpenVMS usage:mask_longword type: longword (unsigned) access: write only mechanism: by reference Attributes of the deleted identifier. The prvatr argument is the address of a longword used to store the attributes of the identifier.
