VMS uses very structured stuctures as arguments to many system calls.
The concepts manuals shoudl provide you with a goo ddescription of
DESCRIPTORS (to pass strings back and forth)
ITEM LISTS (to pass variable number of stuff as a single argument)

(there are a few others).

Also:

DIR SYS$EXAMPLES:*.C will get you quite a bit of help. You can also
browse down to subdirectories that include many more examples in C
(including the TCPIP subdirectory).
