VMS Help System Services, $CANWAK, Arguments *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX) |
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.
