On Alpha and Integrity server systems, releases a user capability, indicating to other processes that the resource is now available. This service accepts 64-bit addresses. Format SYS$FREE_USER_CAPABILITY cap_num [,prev_num] [,flags] C Prototype int sys$free_user_capability (int *cap_num, struct _generic_64 *prev_mask, struct _generic_64 *flags);
1 – Arguments
cap_num OpenVMS usage:longword type: longword (unsigned) access: read only mechanism: by 32- or 64-bit reference Capability number to be released by the calling Kernel thread. This number can range from 1 to 16. The cap_num argument is the 32- or 64-bit address of the longword containing the user capability number. prev_mask OpenVMS usage:mask_quadword type: quadword (unsigned) access: write only mechanism: by 32- or 64-bit reference The previous user capability reservation mask before execution of this service call. The prev_mask argument is the 32- or 64-bit address of a quadword into which the service writes a quadword bit mask specifying the previously reserved user capabilities. flags OpenVMS usage:mask_quadword type: quadword (unsigned) access: read only mechanism: by 32- or 64-bit reference Options selected for the user capability reservation. The flags argument is a quadword bit vector wherein a bit corresponds to an option. Each option (bit) has a symbolic name, which the $CAPDEF macro defines. The flags argument is constructed by performing a logical OR operation using the symbolic names of each desired option. At this time, all bits are Reserved to VSI and must be 0.
