NAME
     Pusrval - get or set process specific information

SYNOPSIS
     LONG Pusrval(LONG val);

DESCRIPTION
     Pusrval may be used to  set  or  retrieve  the  old  process
     specific  user  value. This is a long word which is attached
     to the process, and is inherited by child processes. The use
     and meaning of the value is entirely up to applications; the
     kernel only records it.

     If val is -1 no change is made to the user value;  otherwise
     it is set to val.

RETURNS
     The old process specific user value.

SEE ALSO
BUGS
     -1 cannot be used as a user value.
