Arguments

 

aclstr

   OpenVMS usage:char_string
   type:         character-coded text string
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by descriptor-fixed-length string descriptor
   Formatted ACE that is parsed when $PARSE_ACL completes execution.
   The aclstr argument is the address of a string descriptor
   pointing to the text string to be parsed.
 

aclent

   OpenVMS usage:char_string
   type:         character-coded text string
   access:       write only
   mechanism:    by descriptor-fixed-length string descriptor
   Description of the ACE that is parsed when $PARSE_ACL completes
   execution. The aclent argument is the address of a descriptor
   pointing to the buffer in which the ACE is written. The first
   byte of the buffer contains the length of the ACE; the second
   byte contains a value that identifies the type of ACE, which in
   turn defines the format of the ACE.

   For information about the ACE types and their associated formats,
   see $FORMAT_ACL system service documentation.
 

errpos

   OpenVMS usage:word_unsigned
   type:         word (unsigned)
   access:       write only
   mechanism:    by reference
   Number of characters from aclstr processed by $PARSE_ACL. The
   errpos argument is the address of a word that receives the number
   of characters actually processed by the service. If the service
   fails, this count points to the failing point in the string.
 

accnam

   OpenVMS usage:access_bit_names
   type:         longword (unsigned)
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by reference
   Names of the bits in the access mask when $PARSE_ACL is
   executing. The accnam argument is the address of an array of
   32 quadword descriptors that define the names of the bits in the
   access mask. Each element points to the name of a bit. The first
   element names bit 0, the second element names bit 1, and so on.

   You can call LIB$GET_ACCNAM to retrieve the access name table
   for the class of object whose ACL is to be formatted. If you omit
   accnam, the following names are used:

   Bit    Name

   Bit 0  READ
   Bit 1  WRITE
   Bit 2  EXECUTE
   Bit 3  DELETE
   Bit 4  CONTROL
   Bit 5  BIT_5
   Bit 6  BIT_6
   .
   .
   .
   Bit    BIT_31
   31
 

nullarg

   OpenVMS usage:null_arg
   type:         longword (unsigned)
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by value
   Placeholding argument Reserved to VSI.
