Arguments

 

nodename

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

   Node name to be expanded. The nodename argument contains the
   address of a descriptor pointing to this node-name string.

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

fullname

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

   Expanded node name. The fullname argument contains the address
   of a descriptor pointing to the expanded node-name string.
   LIB$EXPAND_NODENAME writes the expanded node-name string into
   the buffer pointed to by the fullname descriptor.

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

   The length field of the fullname descriptor is not updated unless
   fullname is a dynamic descriptor with a length less than the
   resulting expanded full name. Refer to the OpenVMS RTL String
   Manipulation (STR$) Manual for dynamic string descriptor usage.

   The fullname argument contains an unusable result when
   LIB$EXPAND_NODENAME returns in error.
 

resultant-length

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

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

   The resultant-length argument contains an unusable result when
   LIB$EXPAND_NODENAME returns in error.
