Removes all scheduled wakeup requests for a process from the
timer queue, including those made by the caller or by other
processes. The Schedule Wakeup ($SCHDWK) service makes scheduled
wakeup requests.
Format
SYS$CANWAK [pidadr] ,[prcnam]
C Prototype
int sys$canwak (unsigned int *pidadr, void *prcnam);
pidadr
OpenVMS usage:process_id
type: longword (unsigned)
access: modify
mechanism: by reference
Process identification (PID) of the process for which wakeups are
to be canceled. The pidadr argument is the address of a longword
specifying the PID. The pidadr argument can refer to a process
running on the local node or a process running on another node in
the OpenVMS Cluster system.
prcnam
OpenVMS usage:process_name
type: character-coded text string
access: read only
mechanism: by descriptor-fixed-length string descriptor
Name of the process for which wakeups are to be canceled. The
prcnam argument is the address of a character string descriptor
pointing to the process name string.
A process running on the local node can be identified with a 1-
to 15-character string. To identify a process on a specific node
in a cluster, specify the full process name, which includes the
node name as well as the process name. The full process name can
contain up to 23 characters.
The operating system interprets the UIC group number of the
calling process as part of the process name; the names of
processes are unique to UIC groups. Because of this, you can
use the prcnam argument only on behalf of processes in the same
group as the calling process.
