DESCRIPTION
These calls are included for compatibility with previous releases; they are obsolete.
The DOMAIN/IX function set_version allows programs to specify the dialect of DOMAIN/IX -- Bell UNIX System V or Berkeley UNIX 4.2 -- to be used to define arguments and semantics for certain system and library functions. Valid string arguments are “bell" and “berkeley". The default version is “bell". The selected version is inherited across program invocation, exec(2), and by forked children.
The DOMAIN/IX function get_version returns a string identifying the dialect of DOMAIN/IX (Bell UNIX System V or Berkeley UNIX) currently interpreting arguments and semantics for certain system and library functions. It returns either “bell" or “berkeley".
