Arguments

 

nodename1

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

   First node name to be compared. The nodename1 argument contains
   the address of a descriptor pointing to this node-name string.

   The error LIB$_INVARG is returned if nodename1 contains an
   invalid node name, points to a null string, or contains more
   than 1024 characters. The error LIB$_INVSTRDES is returned if
   nodename1 is an invalid descriptor.
 

nodename2

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

   Second node name to be compared. The nodename2 argument contains
   the address of a descriptor pointing to this node-name string.

   The error LIB$_INVARG is returned if nodename2 contains an
   invalid node name, points to a null string, or contains more
   than 1024 characters. The error LIB$_INVSTRDES is returned if
   nodename2 is an invalid descriptor.
 

comparison-result

   OpenVMS usage:longword_unsigned
   type:         longword (unsigned)
   access:       write only
   mechanism:    by reference

   Result of the comparison. The comparison-result argument is the
   address of an unsigned longword that contains the comparison
   result. If the two node names are equal, 0 is returned. If they
   are not equal, 1 is returned.

   Comparison-result contains an unusable result when LIB$COMPARE_
   NODENAME returns in error.
