NAME AllocDosObject -- Creates a dos object (V36) SYNOPSIS ptr = AllocDosObject(type, tags) D0 D1 D2 void *AllocDosObject(ULONG, struct tagitem *) ptr = AllocDosObjectTagList(type, tags) D0 D1 D2 void *AllocDosObjectTagList(ULONG, struct tagitem *) ptr = AllocDosObjectTags(type, Tag1, ...) void *AllocDosObjectTags(ULONG, ULONG, ...) FUNCTION Create one of several dos objects, initializes it, and returns it to you. Note the DOS_STDPKT returns a pointer to the sp_Pkt of the structure. This function may be called by a task for all types and tags defined in the V37 includes (DOS_FILEHANDLE through DOS_RDARGS and ADO_FH_Mode through ADO_PromptLen, respectively). Any future types or tags will be documented as to whether a task may use them. INPUTS type - type of object requested tags - pointer to taglist with additional information RESULT packet - pointer to the object or NULL BUGS Before V39, DOS_CLI should be used with care since freedosobject() can't free it.
