 9 Arguments:
10 name
11    is the name of a tuning parameter whose value is to be changed.  It
12    can be either the long or short name of the parameter.
13 value
14    is the representation of the value the tuning parameter is to be set
15    to. It may be an integer, a decimal number of seconds, either of
16    "on" or "off", a decimal number, or a full-word octal value.  The
17    data type of the value depends on the individual tuning parameter
18    being set.

21 Control arguments:
22 -silent
23    causes the message normally printed on the operators console to
24    announce the change to only be logged.  This control argument can
25    only be used in the Initializer process.
26

28 Access required: This procedure requires access to metering_gate_ and
29 hphcs_, or to metering_gate_ and initializer_gate_ if -silent was
30 specified.
31 
32 
33 Notes: This procedure always prints the requested change and asks
34 for verification. This can be suppressed by using the answer command.
35 If the new value supplied is unacceptable to the hardcore for some
36 reason, an error message containing the explanation is printed.
