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

C SPECIFICATION    [Toc]    [Back]

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

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     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.
