#include <gno/gno.h>

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.BR kernStatus
|
||
|
|
can be used to determine whether or not the GNO kernel is active.
|
||
|
|
You may use this function to abort programs that use GNO-specific features,
|
||
|
|
or to allow them to enable non-GNO environment-specific code.
|
||
|
|
.LP
|
||
|
|
If the GNO kernel is not active, the global variable
|
||
|
|
.BR _toolErr
|
||
|
|
will be non-zero on return from
|
||
|
|
.BR kernStatus .
|
||
|
|
This value is also accessible through the function
|
||
|
|
.BR toolerror (3).
|
||
|
|
C programmers may prefer to use
|
||
|
|
.BR needsgno (3)
|
||
|
|
for brevity.
|
||
|
|
.LP
|
||
|
|
.BR kernVersion
|
||
|
|
returns the kernel version in the same fashion as the standard IIgs
|
||
|
|
ToolBox calls. For example, a return value of
|
||
|
|
.B 0x0201
|
||
|
|
indicates a version of
|
||
|
|
.BR 2.1 .
|
||
|
|
.LP
|
||
|
|
Note that both of these functions are inline system calls; you
|
||
|
|
.IR must
|
||
|
|
include the <gno/gno.h> header or they will wind up as being
|
||
|
|
unresolved symbols when your program is linked.
