srv_capability

Determine whether Open Server supports a platform-dependent service.

CS_BOOL srv_capability(capability)

CS_INT                 capability;

**Table 3-19: Values for capability (srv_capability)**
Value	Description
SRV_C_DEBUG	srv_dbg_stack and srv_dbg_switch are supported.
SRV_C_EXIT	A callback routine can be invoked when a thread terminates.
SRV_C_RESUME	A callback routine can be invoked when a thread resumes execution.
SRV_C_PREEMPT	Preemptive scheduling is supported.
SRV_C_SELECT	srv_select is supported.
SRV_C_SUSPEND	A callback routine can be invoked when a thread is suspended.
SRV_C_TIMESLICE	A callback routine can be invoked when a thread exceeds the maximum number of clock ticks.
SRV_POLL	srv_poll is supported.

**Table 3-20: Return values (srv_capability)**
Returns	To indicate
CS_TRUE	Open Server supports the service.
CS_FALSE	Open Server does not support the service.

srv_capability allows you to write a portable Open Server application program and still use services that are not available on all platforms.
Open Server has two types of capabilities: platform capabilities and protocol capabilities. The srv_capability routine pertains to platform capabilities. The srv_capability_info routine pertains to protocol capabilities. See the srv_capability_info reference page, for details.
