NewGestalt

Add a selector code to those already recognized

#include <GestaltEqu.h> Gestalt Manager

OSErr NewGestalt( selector, selectorFunction );

OSType selector ; Gestalt selector code

ProcPtr selectorFunction ; address of new selector function

returns Error Code; 0=no error

NewGestalt registers a new selector with the Gestalt Manager so it can

later be recognized by calls to the Gestalt function.

selector is the code re presenting the feature being registered (see

Using the Gestalt Manager for a list of selector codes).

selectorFunction is the function Gestalt calls when it receives the selector.

Returns: an operating system Error Code. It will be one of:

noErr (0) No error

memFullErr (-108) Ran out of memory

gestaltDupSelectorErr (-5551) Selector already exists

gestaltLocationErr (-5553) Function not in system heap

Notes: A program might wish to use its assigned creator type as its Gestalt

selector code in order to avoid Gestalt namespace collisions.

Under THINK C 5.0 or later, THINK Pascal 4.0 or later and MPW 3.2 or

later, NewGestalt will return an unimpErr on systems which do not

support the Gestalt Manager. If you are programming in assembly

language, it is necessary to check for the existence of the
