queue-id OpenVMS usage identifier type longword (unsigned) access read only mechanism by reference The queue identifier. The queue-id argument is the address of an unsigned longword containing the identifier. work-item OpenVMS usage user_arg type longword (unsigned) access read only mechanism by value A value to be entered into the queue. The work-item argument is an unsigned longword containing this value. The content of work-item is completely arbitrary. You may want to place single longword values into work-item (for example, the number of a function or task to be performed). You can also use work-item to pass a pointer to a data block. (This data block must reside in memory created by PPL$CREATE_SHARED_MEMORY or allocated from a shared memory zone created by PPL$CREATE_VM_ZONE.) flags OpenVMS usage mask_longword type longword (unsigned) access read only mechanism by reference Specifies options for inserting a work item into a work queue. The optional flags argument is the address of a longword bit mask containing the flag. The valid value is as follows: PPL$M_ATHEAD Insert item as the first of those items with the same priority (in other words, at the head of the priority). By default, items are inserted after other items of the same priority. priority OpenVMS usage longword_signed type longword (signed) access read only mechanism by reference Specifies the priority of the item being inserted. The optional priority argument is an unsigned longword containing the priority value for the item to be inserted. If unspecified, the default value is zero. A high numerical value indicates a high priority.
