Arguments

 

primary-nodename

   OpenVMS usage:char_string
   type:         character string
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by descriptor

   Primary node name. The primary-nodename argument contains the
   address of a descriptor pointing to this node-name string. The
   primary node name should not contain unnecessary quotation marks
   (that is, quotation marks (" ") that are not part of a simple
   name within the node name).

   The error LIB$_INVARG is returned if primary-nodename points to
   a null string. The error LIB$_INVSTRDES is returned if primary-
   nodename is an invalid descriptor.
 

nodespec

   OpenVMS usage:char_string
   type:         character string
   access:       write only
   mechanism:    by descriptor

   Node-name specification. The nodespec argument contains the
   address of a descriptor pointing to this output node-name
   specification string. LIB$BUILD_NODESPEC writes the output node-
   name specification into the buffer pointed to by the nodespec
   descriptor.

   The error LIB$_INVSTRDES is returned if nodespec is an invalid
   descriptor.

   The length field of the nodespec descriptor is not updated unless
   nodespec is a dynamic descriptor with a length less than the
   resultant node-name specification. Refer to the OpenVMS RTL
   String Manipulation (STR$) Manual for dynamic string descriptor
   usage.

   The nodespec argument contains an unusable result when LIB$BUILD_
   NODESPEC returns in error.
 

acs

   OpenVMS usage:char_string
   type:         character string
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by descriptor

   Access control string. The acs argument contains the address of
   a descriptor pointing to this access control string. The access
   control string must be a quoted string.

   The error LIB$_INVSTRDES is returned if acs is an invalid
   descriptor.
 

secondary-nodename

   OpenVMS usage:char_string
   type:         character string
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by descriptor

   Secondary node name. The secondary-nodename argument contains
   the address of a descriptor pointing to this secondary node-name
   string.

   The error LIB$_INVSTRDES is returned if secondary-nodename is an
   invalid descriptor.
 

nodespec-length

   OpenVMS usage:unsigned_word
   type:         word (unsigned)
   access:       write only
   mechanism:    by reference

   Length of the output node-name specification. The nodespec-length
   argument is the address of an unsigned word that contains this
   length in bytes.

   The nodespec-length argument contains an unusable result when
   LIB$BUILD_NODESPEC returns in error.
