Does anyone know where VMS process startup is documented?
In particular, I would like to find out what parameters are
passed to a new process when it starts up.  I have looked at
some fiche for the C run-time and it looks like there are 6 or
7 interesting parameters, but I have not been able to find any
documentation on these.

I believe that one of these parameters is a descriptor for the
open executable file (or a descriptor for the name of the file).
