Changes the access mode of the calling process to executive mode.
Format
SYS$CMEXEC routin ,[arglst]
C Prototype
int sys$cmexec (int (*routin)(__unknown_params), unsigned int
*arglst);
routin
OpenVMS usage:procedure
type: procedure value
access: call without stack unwinding
mechanism: by reference
Routine to be executed while the process is in executive mode.
The routin argument is the address of this routine.
arglst
OpenVMS usage:arg_list
type: longword (unsigned)
access: read only
mechanism: by reference
Argument list to be passed to the routine specified by the routin
argument. The arglst argument is the address of this argument
list.
If the arglst value is nonzero and is not accessible as an
address or if the routine is inaccessible, the service returns
SS$_ACCVIO.
Alpha and Integrity server systems require a pointer to a valid
argument list or a value of 0 in the arglst argument. This means
that the arglst argument must contain an accessible virtual
address for an argument list, the first longword of which must
be a valid list size.
