VMS Help  —  System Services, $REGISTRY (Alpha and Integrity servers)
    On Alpha and Integrity server systems, interface to the OpenVMS
    Registry database server.

    The $REGISTRY service allows you to query, update, and set keys,
    subkeys, and values in the OpenVMS Registry database.

    The $REGISTRY service supports both asynchronous and synchronous
    operations. For asynchronous completion, use the Registry
    ($REGISTRY) system service.

    For synchronous completion, use the Registry and Wait
    ($REGISTRYW) system service. The $REGISTRYW system service is
    identical to the $REGISTRY system service, except that $REGISTRYW
    returns to the caller after the system completes the requested
    operation. For additional information about system service
    completion, see the Synchronize ($SYNCH) system service.

    This system service is 64-bit compatible.
