VMS Help System Services, $ADD HOLDER  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    Adds a specified holder record to a target identifier.

    Format

      SYS$ADD_HOLDER  id ,holder ,[attrib]

    C Prototype

      int sys$add_holder  (unsigned int id, struct _generic_64

                          *holder, unsigned int attrib);

1 - Arguments

 id

    OpenVMS usage:rights_id
    type:         longword (unsigned)
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by value
    Target identifier granted to the specified holder when $ADD_
    HOLDER completes execution. The id argument is a longword
    containing the binary value of the target identifier.

 holder

    OpenVMS usage:rights_holder
    type:         quadword (unsigned)
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by reference
    Holder identifier that is granted access to the target identifier
    when $ADD_HOLDER completes execution. The holder argument is the
    address of a quadword data structure that consists of a longword
    containing the holder's UIC identifier followed by a longword
    containing a value of 0.

 attrib

    OpenVMS usage:mask_longword
    type:         longword (unsigned)
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by value
    Attributes to be placed in the holder record when $ADD_HOLDER
    completes execution. The attrib argument is a longword containing
    a bit mask specifying the attributes. A holder is granted a
    specified attribute only if the target identifier has the
    attribute.

    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.
