Arguments

 

protection-mask

   OpenVMS usage:protection
   type:         word (unsigned)
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by reference

   The address of a word that holds a 16-bit protection mask to be
   translated.
 

access-names

   OpenVMS usage:access_names
   type:         array [0..31] of quadword string descriptor
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by reference

   The address of the access name table for the associated object
   class. For example, it is the value returned in accnam by
   LIB$GET_ACCNAM. This parameter defaults to the access name table
   for the FILE object class.
 

ownership-names

   OpenVMS usage:char_string
   type:         array [0..3] of quadword string descriptor
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by reference

   The address of a vector of 4 quadword descriptors that points
   to the ownership name. The default value is the full ownership
   category names (System, Owner, Group, World).
 

ownership-separator

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

   The address of a descriptor that points to the ownership
   separator string. The separator string is inserted after the
   ownership name to introduce a nonempty set of access names. By
   default, the value is ": " (the colon and space characters).
 

list-separator

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

   The address of a descriptor that points to the list separator
   string. The list separator string is inserted between ownership-
   access type pairs. By default, the value is ", " (the comma and
   space characters).
 

protection-string

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

   The address of a character-string descriptor that receives the
   output of the routine call. The protection-string argument points
   to the formatted protection string at the end of a call. The
   protection string has the following components repeated for each
   of: System, Owner, Group, World:

   ownership-name[ownership-separator][access-types][list-separator]

   An example of a formatted protection string is

   System: RWED, Owner: RWED, Group: RW, World: R
 

protection-length

   OpenVMS usage:word_signed
   type:         word (signed)
   access:       write only
   mechanism:    by reference

   The address of a word that receives the length of the string
   returned in the protection-string argument.
