Arguments

 

entry

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

   Entry to be inserted at the tail of the queue by LIB$INSQTI.
   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 the queue 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 and I64 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 a longword which contains the retry count value.
   The default value is 10.
