/************************************************************************** SYNCSTRT.C *************************************************************************** This module shows how to suspend the console process from loading other NLMs or executing additional .NCF commands until your NLM calls SynchronizeStart(). NOTES: 1. The OPTION SYNCHRONIZE option must be used in order to tell the loader to suspend itself until we call the SynchronizeStart API. The following command shows how to use QMK386 to generate a Watcom makefile with OPTION SYNCHRONIZE: QMK386 SYNCSTRT /ns 2. Warning, DO NOT LOAD OTHER NLMs (i.e. spawn(...)) WHILE THE CONSOLE IS SUSPENDED. YOU'LL LOCK UP IF YOU DO... 3. To test this option, create an NCF with the following commands: LOAD SYNCSTRT VOLUMES LOAD MONITOR Notice that the VOLUMES command is NOT executed, nor is the MONITOR NLM loaded until you press a key... The example NCF file above assumes that SYNCSTRT.NLM is located in the server's search path (see SEARCH command). If not, the test won't behave properly. If this is a problem, either copy SYNCSTRT.NLM into the search path or modify the NCF file to find SYNCSTRT.NLM (example: make line 1 of the NCF file read "LOAD A:\SYNCSTRT" to load the NLM from drive A). **************************************************************************/ #include <stdio.h> #include <nwconio.h> int main(void) { printf("Notice that the Console appears to be locked...\n"); getch(); printf("Calling SyncronizeStart...\n"); SynchronizeStart(); SetAutoScreenDestructionMode(TRUE); return(0); }
