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.

BUGS

-1 cannot be used as a user value.
