 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$INSQTI.
    The entry argument contains the address of this signed quadword-
    aligned array that must be at least 8 bytes long. Bytes following
    the first 8 bytes can be used for any purpose by the calling
    program.

    For Alpha and I64 systems, the entry argument must contain a 32-
    bit sign-extended address. An illegal operand exception occurs
    for any other form of address.

 header

    OpenVMS usage:quadword_signed
    type:         quadword 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 quadword integer. The header argument must be
    initialized to zero before first use of the queue; zero means an
    empty queue.

    For Alpha and I64 systems, the header argument must contain a
    32-bit sign-extended address. An illegal operand exception occurs
    for any other form of address.

 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 which contains the retry count value.
    The default value is 10.
