logical-name
OpenVMS usage:char_string
type: character string
access: read only
mechanism: by descriptor
Logical name for which LIB$GET_LOGICAL searches. The logical-name
argument is the address of a descriptor pointing to the logical
name string.
resultant-string
OpenVMS usage:char_string
type: character string
access: write only
mechanism: by descriptor
Logical name equivalent returned. The resultant-string argument
is the address of a descriptor pointing to a character string
into which LIB$GET_LOGICAL writes the equivalence name of the
logical.
resultant-length
OpenVMS usage:word_unsigned
type: word (unsigned)
access: write only
mechanism: by reference
Length of the equivalence name string returned by LIB$GET_
LOGICAL. The resultant-length argument is the address of an
unsigned word integer into which LIB$GET_LOGICAL writes the
length.
table-name
OpenVMS usage:char_string
type: character string
access: read only
mechanism: by descriptor
Name of the table in which to search for the logical name. The
table-name argument contains the address of a descriptor pointing
to a character string which contains the table name. If no table
is specified, LNM$FILE_DEV is used.
max-index
OpenVMS usage:longword_signed
type: longword (signed)
access: write only
mechanism: by reference
Largest equivalence name index. Each equivalence name for the
logical name has an index associated with it. The max-index
argument is the address of a signed longword integer into which
LIB$GET_LOGICAL write the value. If no equivalence names (and,
therefore, no index values) exist, LIB$GET_LOGICAL returns a
value of -1.
index
OpenVMS usage:longword_unsigned
type: longword (unsigned)
access: read only
mechanism: by reference
Equivalence name index value. LIB$GET_LOGICAL will return the
equivalence name string that has the specified index value. The
index argument is the address of an unsigned longword integer
specifying the index value.
acmode
OpenVMS usage:access_mode
type: byte (unsigned)
access: read only
mechanism: by reference
Access mode to be used in the translation. The acmode argument
is the address of a byte specifying the access mode. The $PSLDEF
macro defines symbolic names for the four access modes.
When you specify the acmode argument, all names at access modes
which are less privileged than the specified access mode are
ignored.
If you do not specify acmode, the translation is performed
without regard to access mode; however, the translation process
proceeds from the outermost to the innermost access modes. Thus,
if two logical names with the same name, but at different access
modes, exist in the same table, the name with the outermost
access mode is translated.
flags
OpenVMS usage:mask_longword
type: longword (unsigned)
access: read only
mechanism: by reference
Flags controlling the search for the logical name. The flags
argument is the address of a longword integer that contains the
control flags. The $LNMDEF macro defines these flags. Currently
only bit 0 of this argument is used.
Bit Value Description
0 LNM$M_CASE_ If set, LIB$GET_LOGICAL does not distinguish
BLIND between uppercase and lowercase letters in
the logical name to be translated.
This is an optional argument. If omitted the default is 0.
