maketag(3G)  —  Silicon Graphics

NAME

maketag − numbers a routine in the display list

SPECIFICATION

C
maketag(t)
Tag t;

FORTRAN
subroutine maketa(t)
integer*4 t

Pascal
procedure maketag(t: Tag);

DESCRIPTION

Use maketag to explicitly number routines within an object.  To do this, specify a 31-bit number (t) with maketag.  The system assigns this number to the next routine in the display list.  A tag is specific only to the object in which you use it.  Consequently, you can use the same 31-bit number in different objects without confusion.
