entry
OpenVMS usage:unspecified
type: unspecified
access: modify
mechanism: by reference, array reference
Entry to be inserted at the tail of the queue by LIB$INSQTIQ. The
entry argument contains the address of this signed octaword-
aligned array that must be at least 16 bytes long. Bytes
following the first 16 bytes can be used for any purpose by the
calling program.
header
OpenVMS usage:octaword_signed
type: octaword integer (signed)
access: modify
mechanism: by reference
Queue header specifying the queue into which the queue entry is
to be inserted. The header argument contains the address of this
signed aligned octaword integer. The header argument must be
initialized to zero before first use of the queue; zero means an
empty queue.
retry-count
OpenVMS usage:longword_unsigned
type: longword (unsigned)
access: read only
mechanism: by reference
The number of times the insertion is to be retried in case
of secondary-interlock failure of the queue instruction in a
processor-shared memory application. The retry-count argument is
the address of a longword that contains the retry count value.
The default value is 10.
