OpenVMS Systems
OpenVMS systems require an ordered pair as the flags_value argument: root_number and
boot_flags.
root_number Directory number of the system disk on which OpenVMS files are
located. For example:
root_number Root Directory
0 (default) [SYS0.SYSEXE]
1 [SYS1.SYSEXE]
2 [SYS2.SYSEXE]
3 [SYS3.SYSEXE]
boot_flags The hexadecimal value of the bit number or numbers set. To specify
multiple boot flags, add the flag values (logical OR). For example, the
flag value 10080 executes both the 80 and 10000 flag settings. See Table
3-5.
