NAME

blkqread − reads multiple entries from the queue

SPECIFICATION

C
long blkqread(data, n)
short *data
short n;

FORTRAN
integer*4 function blkqre(data, n)
integer*2 data(*)
integer*4 n

Pascal
function blkqread(var data: Short; n: longint): longint;

DESCRIPTION

blkqread reads multiple entries from the input queue.  This is useful when you run programs remotely.  Call blkqread with an array. The length of this array must also be expressed in short integers.  blkqread returns the number of short integers in the array data (i.e., twice the number of event queue entries).
