[FreeVMS] ioc$search

[Guido]

Hi all,

The ioc$search function from iosubpagd.c should implement what is 
described in paragraphs 21.4.1 bullet 4 and 21.5.2.1 bullet 8, 9 & 10 
from the VMS I&DS 5.2, right?

It seems to try to extract the node name from the device name by 
searching for a '$', but the appropriate delimiter is '::'. If the node 
name delimiter is not found this will result in a null pointer.

I do not understand the do-while loop searching the I/O database. I 
think the idea is that if a node name was found, it should match in the 
I/O database and that the device name and number must always match. But 
I believe the code does not quite do that.

I intend to correct this piece of code, but I would like some 
confirmation that my analysis is correct.

Regards,
Guido
