name

    OpenVMS usage:char-string
    type:         character-coded text string
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by descriptor-fixed-length string descriptor
    Identifier name to be added to the rights database when $ADD_
    IDENT completes execution. The name argument is the address of
    a character-string descriptor pointing to the identifier name
    string.

    An identifier name consists of 1 to 31 alphanumeric characters,
    including dollar signs ($)  and underscores (_), and must contain
    at least one nonnumeric character. Any lowercase characters
    specified are automatically converted to uppercase.

 id

    OpenVMS usage:rights_id
    type:         longword (unsigned)
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by value
    Identifier to be created when $ADD_IDENT completes execution.
    The id argument is a longword containing the binary value of the
    identifier to be created.

    If the id argument is omitted, $ADD_IDENT selects a unique
    available value from the general identifier space and returns
    it in resid, if it is specified.

 attrib

    OpenVMS usage:mask_longword
    type:         longword (unsigned)
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by value
    Attributes placed in the identifier's record when $ADD_IDENT
    completes execution. The attrib argument is a longword containing
    a bit mask that specifies the attributes.

    Symbol values are offsets to the bits within the longword. You
    can also obtain the values as masks with the appropriate bit set
    using the prefix KGB$M rather than KGB$V. The symbols are defined
    in the system macro library ($KGBDEF). The symbolic name for each
    bit position is listed in the following table:

    Bit Position           Meaning When Set

    KGB$V_DYNAMIC          Allows holders of the identifier to remove
                           it from or add it to the process rights
                           database by using the DCL command SET
                           RIGHTS_LIST.
    KGB$V_HOLDER_HIDDEN    Prevents someone from getting a list of
                           users who hold an identifier, unless they
                           own the identifier themselves.
    KGB$V_NAME_HIDDEN      Allows holders of an identifier to have it
                           translated-either from binary to ASCII or
                           vice versa-but prevents unauthorized users
                           from translating the identifier.
    KGB$V_NOACCESS         Makes any access rights of the identifier
                           null and void. This attribute is intended
                           as a modifier for a resource identifier or
                           the Subsystem attribute.
    KGB$V_RESOURCE         Allows holders of an identifier to charge
                           disk space to the identifier. It is used
                           only for file objects.
    KGB$V_SUBSYSTEM        Allows holders of the identifier to
                           create and maintain protected subsystems
                           by assigning the Subsystem ACE to the
                           application images in the subsystem.

 resid

    OpenVMS usage:rights_id
    type:         longword (unsigned)
    access:       write only
    mechanism:    by reference
    Identifier value assigned by the system when $ADD_IDENT completes
    execution. The resid argument is the address of a longword in
    which the system-assigned identifier value is written.
