VAX-C - calling SYS$GETSYI

[Stacy L Ramirez]

Lacking access to proper documentation, the intrepid porter of unix
programs to VMS systems asked with trepidation:

	How does one call SYS$GETSYI from a C program?  Apparently
	the #define's in <SYIDEF.H> contain the main arguments of
	this function, but are there other arguments too?  Must
	any file other than <SYIDEF.H> be included?  Have I got
	the whole idea of SYS$GETSYI wrong in the first place?

	Help.  Please!
