NetIPC 3000/XL Programmer's Reference Manual (5958-8600)

Appendix A 175
IPC Interpreter (IPCINT)
Syntax of IPCINT
Pseudovariables
Three pseudovariables are used by IPCINT to store the most recently
assigned socket descriptors as follows:
Pseudovariable socket descriptor
-------------- -----------------
C call
D destination
V virtual circuit
The pseudovariable names can be overridden by the user.
Prompts for Parameters
When you enter the IPCINT abbreviation for the selected intrinsic,
IPCINT prompts you for the required parameter values which you then
enter from the keyboard. Default values are provided for most input
parameters. The parameter names correspond approximately to those
used in the reference portion of this manual. IPCINT prompts for X.25
opt array parameters without your having to use the INITOPT or
ADDOPT intrinsics. You are also prompted for X.25
flags parameter bit
settings. Prompts requiring a Y/N (yes/no) answer default to N (no).
Output parameters are displayed on the screen following execution of
the called intrinsic.
Call User Data Field
The call user data field can be entered as a concatenated ASCII string
enclosed in single quotes. Hexadecimal digits can be included in an
ASCII string by preceding the digits with an h. For example,
h45'hello'h10 can be entered which represents a string of hexadecimal
45, the word “hello” followed by hexadecimal 10.
