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).
