AST completion routine to VMS I/O system services. This routine is for OpenVMS systems only.
1 – C Binding
#include <tis.h> int tis_io_complete (void);
2 – Description
When you are performing thread-synchronous "wait-form" system service calls on OpenVMS such as $QIOW, $ENQW, $GETJPIW, and so on, you should use this routine and tis_sync() with the asynchronous form of the service (in other words, without the "W"), and specify the address of tis_io_complete() as the completion AST routine (the AST argument if any is ignored). That must also specify an IOSB (or equivalent, such as an LKSB) and if possible a unique event flag (see lib$get_ef). Once the library code is ready to wait for the I/O, it simply calls tis_ sync() (just as if it were calling $SYNC).
3 – Return Values
None.
4 – Associated Routines
