Pdomain(2)                Oct. 1, 1991                 Pdomain(2)



NAME
     Pdomain - get or set process execution domain

SYNOPSIS
     WORD Pdomain( WORD dom );

DESCRIPTION
     Pdomain gets or sets the process execution domain. This is a
     number which controls the behavior of a process. The default
     domain is 0, which is the TOS compatibility  domain  and  in
     which  all system calls behave exactly as they do under TOS.
     Domain 1 is the MiNT domain; in this domain, the behavior of
     the  Fread and Fwrite system calls when applied to terminals
     are controlled by the current  terminal  settings  as  esta-
     blished  by  the  Fcntl  system  call.  Moreover, file names
     returned from Fsfirst and Fsnext may be treated differently;
     MiNT  domain  processes are expected to be able to deal with
     file names that are not standard 8 character name + 3  char-
     acter extension, all upper case, DOS file names.

     If dom is greater than or equal to 0, the process domain  is
     set  to  its  value.  Note  that  only  domains  0 and 1 are
     currently defined, and  the  result  of  using  a  different
     (positive)  number for dom is unpredictable. If dom is nega-
     tive, no change is made to the process domain.

RETURNS
     The process domain at the time of  the  Pdomain  call  (i.e.
     before any change).
