NAME isblk - whether or not a value is a block SYNOPSIS isblk(val) TYPES val any return 0, 1, or 2 DESCRIPTION isblk(val) returns 1 if val is an unnamed block, 2 if val is a named block, 0 otherwise. Note that a named block B retains its name after its data block is freed by rmblk(B). That a named block B has null data block may be tested using sizeof(B); this returns 0 if and only if the memory has been freed. EXAMPLE ; A = blk() ; isblk(A) 1 ; B = blk("beta") ; isblk(B) 2 ; isblk(3) 0 LIMITS none LINK LIBRARY none - XXX ???
