blkqread(3G)                                                      blkqread(3G)



NAME
     blkqread - reads multiple entries from the queue

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

PARAMETERS
     data   expects a pointer to the buffer that is to receive the queue
            information.

     n      expects the number of elements in the buffer.

FUNCTION RETURN VALUE
     The returned value of the function is the number of 16 bit words of data
     actually read into the data buffer.  Note that this number will be twice
     the number of complete queue entries read, because each queue entry
     consists of two 16 bit words.

DESCRIPTION
     blkqread reads multiple entries from the input queue and stores them in
     the array pointed to by data.  This function fills the data buffer with
     paired values (a device number and the value of that device).

SEE ALSO
     qread

NOTE
     This routine is available only in immediate mode.
