number-of-bytes OpenVMS usage:longword_signed type: longword integer (signed) access: read only mechanism: by reference Number of contiguous bytes that LIB$GET_VM allocates. The number- of-bytes argument is the address of a longword integer containing the number of bytes. LIB$GET_VM allocates enough memory to satisfy the request. Your program should not reference an address before the first byte address allocated (base-address) or beyond the last byte allocated (base-address + number-of-bytes-1) since that space may be assigned to another routine. The value of number-of-bytes must be greater than zero. base-address OpenVMS usage:address type: longword (unsigned) access: write only mechanism: by reference First virtual address of the contiguous block of bytes allocated by LIB$GET_VM. The base-address argument is the address of an unsigned longword containing this base address. zone-id OpenVMS usage:identifier type: longword (unsigned) access: read only mechanism: by reference The zone-id argument is the address of a longword that contains a zone identifier created by a previous call to LIB$CREATE_VM_ZONE or LIB$CREATE_USER_VM_ZONE. This argument is optional. If zone-id is omitted or if the longword contains the value 0, the 32-bit default zone is used.
