VMS Help DECTPU, TPU$PARSEINFO  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    The TPU$PARSEINFO routine parses a command and builds the item
    list for TPU$INITIALIZE.

    Format

      TPU$PARSEINFO  fileio ,call_user

1 - Returns

    OpenVMS usage:item_list
    type:         longword (unsigned)
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by reference

    The routine returns the address of an item list.

2 - Arguments

 fileio

    OpenVMS usage:vector_longword_unsigned
    type:         bound procedure value
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by descriptor
    File I/O routine. The fileio argument is the address for a
    descriptor of a file I/O routine.

 call_user

    OpenVMS usage:vector_longword_unsigned
    type:         bound procedure value
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by descriptor
    Call-user routine. The call_user argument is the address for a
    descriptor of a call-user routine.

3 - Description

    The TPU$PARSEINFO routine parses a command and builds the item
    list for TPU$INITIALIZE.

    This routine uses the command language (CLI) routines to
    parse the current command. It makes queries about the command
    parameters and qualifiers that DECTPU expects. The results of
    these queries are used to set up the proper information in an
    item list. The addresses of the user routines are used for those
    items in the list. The address of this list is the return value
    of the routine.

    If your application parses information that is not related to the
    operation of DECTPU, make sure the application obtains and uses
    all non-DECTPU parse information before the application calls the
    TPU$PARSEINFO interface. This is because TPU$PARSEINFO destroys
    all parse information obtained and stored before TPU$PARSEINFO
    was called.
