VAXTPU GET_INFO(BUFFER) — VMS 5.2

 GET_INFO(BUFFER)


    For an overview of the GET_INFO built-in, see the HELP topic GET_INFO.

    VAXTPU orders buffers according to the order in which they are created;
    the first ones created are the first in the list.

    The following strings can be used for parameter2 when parameter1 is the
    keyword BUFFER or BUFFERS:
