02/20/85  meter_gate_


The meter_gate_ subroutine is an entry point (used by the meter_gate
metering command) that returns data about specific gate entries to the
caller.


Entry points in meter_gate:
   (List is generated by the help command)


:Entry: meter_gate_: 02/20/85  meter_gate_


Function:
returns data about specific gate entries to the caller.


Syntax:
declare meter_gate_ entry (char(*), ptr fixed bin(35));
call meter_gate_ (gate_name, array_ptr, code);


Arguments:
gate_name
   is the name of the gate whose entries are to be metered.  (Input)
array_ptr
   is a pointer to an array described in "Notes" below.  (Input)
code
   is a standard status code.  (Output)


Structure:
The second argument to meter_gate_ is a pointer to an array of entry
names to be metered.  This array has the following format:
   dcl 1 arg_array         aligned based (array_ptr),
         2 num_ents        fixed bin,
         2 info            (0 refer (arg_array.num_ents)),
           3 name          char(32),
           3 calls         fixed bin,
           3 page_waits    fixed bin,
           3 time fixed    bin(71);


   Structure elements:
   num_ents
      is the number of entries in the array info.
   name
      is the entryname.
   calls
      is the number of calls to that entry.
   page_waits
      is the number of page waits by that entry.
   time
      is the CPU time in (microseconds) used by that entry.

Historical Background

This edition of the Multics software materials and documentation is provided and donated
to Massachusetts Institute of Technology by Group BULL including BULL HN Information Systems Inc. 
as a contribution to computer science knowledge.  
This donation is made also to give evidence of the common contributions of Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
Bell Laboratories, General Electric, Honeywell Information Systems Inc., Honeywell BULL Inc., Groupe BULL
and BULL HN Information Systems Inc. to the development of this operating system. 
Multics development was initiated by Massachusetts Institute of Technology Project MAC (1963-1970),
renamed the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence in the mid 1970s, under the leadership
of Professor Fernando Jose Corbato. Users consider that Multics provided the best software architecture 
for managing computer hardware properly and for executing programs. Many subsequent operating systems 
incorporated Multics principles.
Multics was distributed in 1975 to 2000 by Group Bull in Europe , and in the U.S. by Bull HN Information Systems Inc., 
as successor in interest by change in name only to Honeywell Bull Inc. and Honeywell Information Systems Inc. .
