NAME
     ipc_$create - create an IPC socket

SYNOPSIS (C)
     #include <apollo/base.h>
     #include <apollo/ipc.h>

     void ipc_$create(
          char *path_name,
          unsigned short &path_length,
          status_$t *status)

SYNOPSIS (Pascal)
     %include '/sys/ins/base.ins.pas';
     %include '/sys/ins/ipc.ins.pas';

     procedure ipc_$create(
          in path_name: univ name_$long_pname_t;
          in path_length: pinteger;
          out status: status_$t);

SYNOPSIS (FORTRAN)
     %include '/sys/ins/base.ins.ftn'
     %include '/sys/ins/ipc.ins.ftn'

           integer*2 path_length
           integer*4 status
           character path_name*1023

           call ipc_$create(path_name, path_length, status)

DESCRIPTION
     Ipc_$create creates an IPC socket at path_name.

     path_name
          The pathname where the socket should be created.

     path_length
          The number of bytes in path_name.

     status
          The completion status.

NOTES
     Ipc_$create actually just reserves an existing system socket and catalogs
     it in the file system so other processes can obtain its handle.

SEE ALSO
     ipc_$close, ipc_$delete, ipc_$open.
