Syntax of IPCINT 

The following paragraphs describe the syntax of IPCINT commands.  This
includes:

 *  Abbreviations for the intrinsics.

 *  Pseudovariables for socket descriptors.

 *  Prompts for parameters.

 *  Call user data field.

Abbreviated Intrinsic Names 

The IPCINT program uses abbreviations for NetIPC intrinsics.  Table A-1
shows the supported IPC intrinsics and the IPCINT abbreviations.

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.
