Arguments

 

code

   OpenVMS usage:longword_signed
   type:         longword integer (signed)
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by reference

   The address of a signed longword integer that contains a code to
   specify the statistic to be returned. The code specification must
   be an integer from 1 to 5.

   The following values are allowed for code:

   Value Statistic Returned

   1     Elapsed real time (quadword, in system time format)
   2     Elapsed CPU time (longword, in 10 millisecond increments)
   3     Count of buffered I/O operations (longword)
   4     Count of direct I/O operations (longword)
   5     Count of page faults (longword)
 

value-argument

   OpenVMS usage:user_arg
   type:         unspecified
   access:       write only
   mechanism:    by reference

   The statistic returned by LIB$STAT_TIMER. The value-argument
   argument contains the address of a longword or quadword that
   is this statistic. All statistics are longword integers except
   elapsed real time, which is a quadword.

   See the VSI OpenVMS System Services Reference Manual for more
   details on the system time format.
 

handle-address

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

   Pointer to a block of storage. The optional handle-address
   argument contains the address of an unsigned longword that is
   this pointer.

   If handle-address is specified, LIB$STAT_TIMER assumes that
   LIB$INIT_TIMER has been called with the same value of handle-
   address. Handle-address is an optional argument. If it is not
   specified, LIB$STAT_TIMER uses internal storage.
