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$INSQTIQ. 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 the queue 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 a longword that contains the retry count value.
   The default value is 10.
