inadr
OpenVMS usage:address_range
type: longword (unsigned)
access: read only
mechanism: by reference
Starting and ending virtual addresses of the range of pages to be
purged. The inadr argument is the address of a 2-longword array
containing, in order, the starting and ending process virtual
addresses. The addresses are adjusted up or down to fall on CPU-
specific page boundaries. Only the virtual page number portion of
each virtual address is used; the low-order byte-within-page bits
are ignored.
