genobj(3G)

NAME
     genobj - returns a unique integer for use as an object identifier

C SPECIFICATION
     Object genobj()

PARAMETERS
     none

FUNCTION RETURN VALUE
     The returned value for this function is an object identifier.

DESCRIPTION
     genobj generates unique 31-bit integer numbers for use as object
     identifiers.  Object identifiers can be up to 31 bits and must be unique
     within a program.  Be careful if you use a combination of user-defined
     and genobj-defined numbers to generate object numbers.  genobj will not
     generate an object name that is currently in use.  If there is any
     question, use isobj before using your own numbers.
