Parameter Data Scoping Items

<access>:

The key word access designates that all parameter object specification items up to the next parameter data scoping item are in the same protection or scoping class. access can take the values:

global

all thorns have access to global parameters

restricted

other thorns can have access to these parameters if they specifically request it in their own param.ccl

private

only your thorn has access to private parameters

shares

in this case an implementation name must follow the colon. It declares that all the parameters in the following scoping block are restricted variables from the specified implementation. (Note: only one implementation can be specified on this line.)
