The Question is:
Is there a way to view the arguments passed into a program using the c-style
argv?
for instance:
mcr []my_program arg1 arg2 arg3
then using sda or sho proc beable to view these arguments?
I have hunted far and wide, including dumping the pcb and phd of the process in
sda with no luck.
Thanks, Jim
The Answer is :
There is no documented way to do this, short of using a debugger
bootstrap or other such technique to intercept the image startup.
Of course if the program is yours, this modification is trivial,
and involves calling available RTL routines such as lib$get_foreign
or by using the va count and other related variable-argument C calls.
MCR is a command used to activate the Monitor Console Routine (MCR),
the RSX command interpreter. The OpenVMS Wizard would encourage
using the foreign command mechanism (DCL symbols, and particularly
ones with a leading dollar sign), or the automatic foreign command
mechanism (DCL$PATH) not a documented command. Not MCR.
