VSID_STATUS_WAIT_FLAG
(VST_STATUS_WAIT_FLAG) Indicates whether the API software waits for
final status from VolServ (or times-out) for
Cancel commands. Valid options are
VSE_TRUE (API software waits for final status)
and VSE_FALSE (API software does not wait
for final status). Also determines whether the
API software operates in synchronous mode
(VSE_TRUE) or in asynchronous mode
(VSE_FALSE). The default
VSID_STATUS_WAIT_FLAG value is
VSE_TRUE.
VSID_TIMEOUT_VALUE (VST_TIME_OUT) The total wait time for a command is
(VSID_RETRY_LIMIT plus 1) multiplied by
VSID_TIMEOUT_VALUE. The default
time-out value is 120 seconds.
VSID_USER_FIELD (VST_USER_FIELD) The value to be put in USER_FIELD for
Cancel commands. USER_FIELD is a
16-character field provided for user
information. Information entered in this field is
echoed back to the user in every status
message returned for Cancel commands.
Neither the API software nor VolServ uses
USER_FIELD.
