SET_VERSION(2)                       SysV                       SET_VERSION(2)



NAME
     set_version, get_version - set/get system version (obsolete)

SYNOPSIS
     set_version(string)
     char *string;

     get_version (cp)
     char cp[16];

DESCRIPTION
     These calls are obsolete.  We include them in this release for
     compatability only.  However, we do not encourage their continued use,
     and we cannot promise their continued support.

     The Domain/IX function set_version allows programs to specify the version
     of Domain/IX - AT&T UNIX System V or Berkeley Software Distribution 4.2 -
     that will 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
     version of the UNIX operating system (Bell System V or Berkeley)
     currently interpreting arguments and semantics for certain system and
     library functions.  It returns either "bell" or "berkeley".
