Arguments

 

pidadr

   OpenVMS usage:process_id
   type:         longword (unsigned)
   access:       modify
   mechanism:    by reference
   Process identification (PID) of the process to be forced to exit.
   The pidadr argument is the address of a longword containing the
   PID.

   The pidadr argument can refer to a process running on the local
   node or a process running on another node in the OpenVMS Cluster
   system.

   The pidadr argument is optional but must be specified if the
   process that is to be forced to exit is not in the same UIC group
   as the calling process.
 

prcnam

   OpenVMS usage:process_name
   type:         character-coded text string
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by descriptor-fixed-length string descriptor
   Process name of the process that is to be forced to exit. The
   prcnam argument is the address of a character string descriptor
   pointing to the process name string. A process running on the
   local node can be identified with a 1- to 15-character string.
   To identify a process on a particular node in a cluster, specify
   the full process name, which includes the node name as well as
   the process name. The full process name can contain up to 23
   characters.

   The prcnam argument can be used only on behalf of processes in
   the same UIC group as the calling process. To force processes in
   other groups to exit, you must specify the pidadr argument. This
   restriction exists because the operating system interprets the
   UIC group number of the calling process as part of the specified
   process name; the names of processes are unique to UIC groups.
 

code

   OpenVMS usage:cond_value
   type:         longword (unsigned)
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by value
   Completion code value to be used as the exit parameter. The
   code argument is a longword containing this value. If you do
   not specify the code argument, the value 0 is passed as the
   completion code.
