 result-string

    OpenVMS usage: char_string
    type:          character string
    access:        write only
    mechanism:     by descriptor
    Return value for the built-in procedure FILE_SEARCH. Your program
    should fill in this descriptor with a dynamic string allocated
    by the string routines such as the Run-Time Library routine
    LIB$SGET1_DD. TPU frees this string when necessary.

    The TPU$M_REPARSE bit is set in the flags longword if the result-
    string has a length of zero. The bit is intended to reset the
    file search when wildcard searches are performed.

 flags

    OpenVMS usage: longword_unsigned
    type:          longword (unsigned)
    access:        read only
    mechanism:     by reference
    The following table shows the flags used for specifying the file
    components:

    Flag(1)           Function

    TPU$M_NODE        Requests for the node component of the file
                      specification.
    TPU$M_DEV         Requests for the device component of the file
                      specification.
    TPU$M_DIR         Requests for the directory component of the
                      file specification.
    TPU$M_NAME        Requests for the name component of the file
                      specification.
    TPU$M_TYPE        Requests for the type component of the file
                      specification.
    TPU$M_VER         Requests for the version component of the file
                      specification.
    TPU$M_REPARSE     Reparses the file specification before
                      processing. This is intended as a way to
                      restart the file search. This flag will
                      automatically be set by TPU if on a previous
                      call to the FILE_SEARCH user routine the
                      result-string has a zero length or the routine
                      returns a odd (noneven) status.
    TPU$M_HEAD        Requests for the NODE, DEVICE, and DIRECTORY
                      components of the file specification.
    TPU$M_TAIL        Requests for the NAME, TYPE, and VERSION
                      component of the file specification.

    (1) TPU$M... indicates a mask. There is a corresponding value for
    each mask in the form TPU$V...

 filespec

    OpenVMS usage: char_string
    type:          character string
    access:        read only
    mechanism:     by descriptor
    The object file specification.

 default-spec

    OpenVMS usage: char_string

    The default-spec argument contains the default file
    specification.

    The value 0 is passed if there is no default-spec.

    access:        read only
    mechanism:     by descriptor
    The related-spec argument contains the related file
    specification.
