Arguments

 

entry

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

   Entry to be inserted by LIB$INSQHIQ. The entry argument contains
   the address of this signed octaword-aligned array that must be
   at least 16 bytes long. Bytes following the first 16 bytes can be
   used for any purpose by the calling program.
 

header

   OpenVMS usage:octaword_signed
   type:         octaword 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 octaword integer. The header argument must be initialized
   to zero before first use of the queue; zero means an empty queue.
 

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.
