Arguments

 

search-string

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

   String for which LIB$LOOKUP_KEY will search in the keyword
   table. The search-string argument is the address of a descriptor
   pointing to this string.
 

key-table-array

   OpenVMS usage:unspecified
   type:         unspecified
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by reference, array reference

   Keyword table. The key-table-array argument contains the address
   of an array that is this keyword table.
 

key-value

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

   Associated value of the keyword found by LIB$LOOKUP_KEY. The key-
   value argument contains the address of an unsigned longword into
   which LIB$LOOKUP_KEY writes the associated value of the matched
   keyword.
 

keyword-string

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

   Full keyword string matched. The keyword-string argument contains
   the address of a character-string descriptor. LIB$LOOKUP_
   KEY writes the complete text of the matched keyword into the
   character string.
 

resultant-length

   OpenVMS usage:word_unsigned
   type:         word (unsigned)
   access:       write only
   mechanism:    by reference

   Number of characters copied into the character-string pointed to
   by keyword-string, not counting padding in the case of a fixed-
   length string. The resultant-length argument is the address of an
   unsigned word integer that contains the number of characters in
   the matched keyword that were copied into the character-string.
