System Functions (n - p) put_generateTag(2)
NAME
put_generateTag - Increments and returns a static long tag
LIBRARY
32-bit H-series and J-series OSS processes: /G/system/zdllnnn/zputdll
64-bit H-series and J-series OSS processes: /G/system/zdllnnn/yputdll
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h>
long put_generateTag(void);
PARAMETERS
None.
DESCRIPTION
Increments and returns a static long string appropriate for use as a tag. Note that this long string
will eventually wrap, thereby returning tags that may still be in use. For example, if a process
calls put_generateTag( ) 100 times per second, every second, the wrap will occur on the 248th
day.
To use this function on systems running H06.21 or later RVUs or J06.10 or later RVUs, you must
perform all of the following tasks:
• Include the pthread.h header file in the application.
• Compile the application using the _PUT_MODEL_ feature test macro or equivalent
compiler command option.
• Link the application to the zputdll library (/G/system/zdllnnn/zputdll).
On systems running H06.24 or later H-series RVUs or J06.13 or later J-series RVUs, you can use
this function with 32-bit or 64-bit applications.
To use this function in a 32-bit application on systems running H06.24 or later RVUs or J06.13 or
later RVUs, perform the same tasks (described above) used to enable the function on systems
running H06.21/J06.10 or later RVUs.
To use this function in a 64-bit application on systems running H06.24 or later RVUs or J06.13 or
later RVUs, you must perform all of the following tasks:
• Include the pthread.h header file in the application.
• Compile the application using the _PUT_MODEL_ feature test macro or equivalent
compiler command option.
• Compile the application using the -Wlp64 compiler command option.
• Link the application to the yputdll library (/G/system/zdllnnn/yputdll).
RETURN VALUES
This function returns a long tag.
