Returns information about the local system or about other
    systems in an OpenVMS Cluster system. The $GETSYI service
    completes asynchronously; for synchronous completion, use the
    Get Systemwide Information and Wait ($GETSYIW) service.
    For additional information about system service completion, see
    the Synchronize ($SYNCH) service.
    On Alpha and Integrity server systems, this service accepts 64-
    bit addresses.
