Arguments

 

seconds

   OpenVMS usage:floating_point
   type:         F_floating
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by reference

   The number of seconds to wait. The seconds argument contains the
   address of an F-floating number that is this number.

   The value is rounded to the nearest hundredth-second before use.
   Seconds must be between 0.0 and 100,000.0.
 

flags

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

   Control flags. The flags argument is the address of a longword
   integer that contains the control flags. The following flag is
   defined:

   Bit    Value          Description

   0      LIB$K_NOWAKE   LIB$WAIT will not wake in the case of an
                         interrupt.

   This is an optional argument. If omitted, the default is 0, and
   LIB$WAIT will wake in the case of an interrupt.
 

float-type

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

   Float type. The float-type argument is the address of a longword
   integer that determines the floating-point type of the seconds
   argument. Use one of the following symbols:

   Symbol         Value   Floating-Point Type

   LIB$K_VAX_F    0       F_floating
   LIB$K_VAX_D    1       D_floating
   LIB$K_VAX_G    2       G_floating
   LIB$K_VAX_H    3       H_floating
   LIB$K_IEEE_S   4       IEEE_S_floating
   LIB$K_IEEE_T   5       IEEE_T_floating

   This is an optional argument. If omitted, the default is F_
   floating. F_floating is the required float-type when LIB$WAIT
   is called from a module written in a language that prototypes
   functions.
