vms_xabitmdef module

(PYVMS LOGO) Python on OpenVMS

(go to: table of contents, index, prev: vms_xabfhcdef, next: vms_xabkeydef)

The 'vms_xabitmdef' module contains item codes, bitmasks and constants that are defined in '$XABITMDEF' - the ITeM list XAB (eXtended Attribute Block). The data definition can be used together with a 'vmsobj_xabitm' object.

The structure is called a XABITM, however the facility name for bitmasks and constants is 'XAB' - e. g. 'XAB_M_CAP_FILALL'. This module contains 64-bit bitmasks. See GENMAN, 'Programming', 'special OpenVMS datatypes' for details.

Access to details of the item codes is possible from the 'pyvms' module.
