TS/MP 2.5 Pathsend and Server Programming Manual

error := FILENAME_COMPARE_ (filename1:length
!i:i
, filename2:length ) ;
!i:i
!o:i In procedure calls, the !o:i notation follows an output buffer
parameter that has a corresponding input parameter
specifying the maximum length of the output buffer in bytes.
For example:
error := FILE_GETINFO_ ( filenum
!i
, [ filename:maxlen ]
) ; !o:i

either vertically, with aligned brackets on each side of the

LDEV ldev [ CU %ccu | CU %...] UP [
(cpu,chan,%ctlr,%unit) ]
