Allows a process to specify a set of event flags for which it
wants to wait.
Format
SYS$WFLOR efn ,mask
C Prototype
int sys$wflor (unsigned int efn, unsigned int mask);
efn
OpenVMS usage:ef_number
type: longword (unsigned)
access: read only
mechanism: by value
Number of any event flag within the event flag cluster to be
used. The efn argument is a longword containing this number;
however, $WFLOR uses only the low-order byte. Specifying the
number of an event flag within the cluster serves to identify the
event flag cluster.
There are two local event flag clusters: cluster 0 and cluster
1. Cluster 0 contains event flag numbers 0 to 31, and cluster 1
contains event flag numbers 32 to 63.
There are two common event flag clusters: cluster 2 and cluster
3. Cluster 2 contains event flag numbers 64 to 95, and cluster 3
contains event flag numbers 96 to 127.
mask
OpenVMS usage:mask_longword
type: longword (unsigned)
access: read only
mechanism: by value
Event flags for which the process is to wait. The mask argument
is a longword bit vector wherein a bit, when set, selects the
corresponding event flag for which to wait.
