Pdomain()                                                            GEMDOS

Syntax

WORD Pdomain( domain )
WORD domain;

Function      Pdomain() determines/modifies the calling processes'
              execution domain.

Opcode        281 (0x119)

Availability  This function is available under all MiNT versions
              integrated with MultiTOS.

Parameters    domain contains the domain code of the new process domain.
              Currently the only valid values are DOMAIN_TOS (0) for the
              TOS compatibility domain and DOMAIN_MINT (1) for the MiNT
              domain. Passing a negative value for domain will not change
              domains but it will return the current domain.

Binding       move.w   domain,-(sp)
              move.w   #$119,-(sp)
              trap     #1
              addq.l   #4,sp

Return Value  Pdomain() returns the domain in effect prior to the call.

Comments      Process domain affects system calls like Fread(), Fwrite(),
              Fsfirst(), and Fsnext(). Processes behave as expected when
              under the TOS domain. When processes run under the MiNT
              domain, however, the behavior of Fread() and Fwrite() calls
              when dealing with terminals can be modified by Fcntl().
              Also, Fsfirst() and Fsnext() may not necessarily return the
              standard DOS 8 + 3 file name format. MiNT domain processes
              must understand filenames formatted for different file
              systems.
