Arguments

 

function-code

   OpenVMS usage:longword_signed
   type:         longword (signed)
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by reference

   Function code specifying the function that LIB$GETQUI is to
   perform. The function-code argument is the address of a signed
   longword containing the function code.

   LIB$GETQUI accepts all $GETQUI function codes. These names begin
   with QUI$_ and are defined in symbol libraries in module $QUIDEF
   supplied by VSI.
 

item-code

   OpenVMS usage:longword_signed
   type:         longword (signed)
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by reference

   Item identifier code specifying the item of information you are
   requesting. The item-code argument is the address of a signed
   longword containing the item code. You may request only one item
   in each call to LIB$GETQUI.

   LIB$GETQUI accepts all $GETQUI item codes. These names begin
   with QUI$_ and are defined in symbol libraries in module $QUIDEF
   supplied by VSI.
 

search-number

   OpenVMS usage:longword_signed
   type:         longword integer (signed)
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by reference

   Numeric value used to process your request. The search-number
   argument is the address of a signed longword integer containing
   the number needed to process your request. The search-number
   argument corresponds directly to QUI$_SEARCH_NUMBER as described
   by the $GETQUI system service.
 

search-name

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

   Character string used to process your request. The search-name
   argument is the address of a string descriptor that provides the
   name needed to process your request. The search-name argument
   corresponds directly to QUI$_SEARCH_NAME as described by the
   $GETQUI system service.
 

search-flags

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

   Optional bit mask indicating request to be performed. The search-
   flags argument is the address of an unsigned longword integer
   containing the bit mask. The search-flags argument directly
   corresponds to $QUI_SEARCH_FLAGS as described by the $GETQUI
   system service.
 

resultant-value

   OpenVMS usage:varying_arg
   type:         unspecified
   access:       write only
   mechanism:    by reference

   Numeric value of the information you requested. The resultant-
   value argument is the address of a longword, quadword or
   octaword into which LIB$GETQUI writes the numeric value of this
   information.

   If the item you requested returns only a string value, this
   argument is ignored.
 

resultant-string

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

   String representation of the information you requested. The
   resultant-string argument is the address of the descriptor
   for a character string into which LIB$GETQUI writes the string
   representation.

   If you do not include resultant-string, but the item you request
   has only a string representation, the error status LIB$_INVARG is
   returned.
 

resultant-length

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

   Number of significant characters written to resultant-string by
   LIB$GETQUI. The resultant-length argument is the address of a
   signed word integer into which LIB$GETQUI writes the number of
   characters.
