Arguments

 

entry

   OpenVMS usage:unspecified
   type:         unspecified
   access:       modify
   mechanism:    by reference, array reference

   Entry to be inserted by LIB$INSQHI. The entry argument contains
   the address of this signed quadword-aligned array that must be at
   least 8 bytes long. Bytes following the first 8 bytes can be used
   for any purpose by the calling program.

   For Alpha and I64 systems, the entry argument must contain a 32-
   bit sign-extended address. An illegal operand exception occurs
   for any other form of address.
 

header

   OpenVMS usage:quadword_signed
   type:         quadword integer (signed)
   access:       modify
   mechanism:    by reference

   Queue header specifying the queue into which entry is to be
   inserted. The header argument contains the address of this signed
   aligned quadword integer. The header argument must be initialized
   to zero before first use of the queue; zero means an empty queue.

   For Alpha systems, the header argument must contain a 32-bit
   sign-extended address. An illegal operand exception occurs for
   any other form of address.
 

retry-count

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

   The number of times the insertion is to be retried in case
   of secondary-interlock failure of the queue instruction in a
   processor-shared memory application. The retry-count argument is
   the address of an unsigned longword that contains the retry count
   value. A value of 1 causes no retries. The default value is 10.
