NAME
    GetRexxVar - Gets the value of a variable from a running ARexx program

SYNOPSIS
    error = GetRexxVar(message,varname,bufpointer)
    D0,A1              A0      A1      (C-only)

    LONG GetRexxVar(struct rexxmsg *,char *,char **);

FUNCTION
    This function will attempt to extract the value of the symbol
    varname from the ARexx script that sent the message.  When called
    from C, a pointer to the extracted value will be placed in the
    pointer pointed to by bufpointer.  (*bufpointer will be the pointer
    to the value)

    When called from assembly, the pointer will be returned in A1.

    The value string returned *MUST* *NOT* be modified.

    While this function is new in the V37 amiga.lib, it is safe to
    call it in all versions of the operating system.  It is also
    PURE code, thus usable in resident/pure executables.

NOTE
    This is a stub in amiga.lib.  It is only available via amiga.lib.
    The stub has two labels.  One, _GetRexxVar, takes the arguments
    from the stack.  The other, GetRexxVar, takes the arguments in
    registers.

    This routine does a checkrexxmsg() on the message.

EXAMPLE

    char    *value;

    /* message is one from arexx */
    if (!GetRexxVar(rxmsg,"TheVar",&value))
    {
            /* The value was gotten and now is pointed to by value */
            printf("Value of TheVar is %sn",value);
    }

INPUTS
    message         A message gotten from an ARexx script
    varname         The name of the variable to extract
    bufpointer      (For C only) A pointer to a string pointer.

RESULTS
    error           0 for success, otherwise an error code.
                    (Other codes may exists, these are documented)
                    3  == Insufficient Storage
                    9  == String too long
                    10 == invalid message

    A1              (Assembly only)  Pointer to the string.
