1 – Arguments
barrier-id OpenVMS usage identifier type longword (unsigned) access read only mechanism by reference Identifier of the barrier. The barrier-id argument is the address of the barrier identifier. Barrier-id is returned by PPL$CREATE_BARRIER. quorum OpenVMS usage word_signed type word (signed) access read only mechanism by reference The number of participants required to terminate an active wait for this barrier. The quorum argument is the address of a signed word containing the quorum number. For example, a quorum value of 3 indicates that the first two callers of PPL$WAIT_ AT_BARRIER specifying this barrier-id are blocked until a third participant calls PPL$WAIT_AT_BARRIER. At that point, all three are released for further processing. If you specify zero for quorum, the quorum is set to the number of processes currently in the application. The value of quorum must be positive or zero.
