Description

The kinetic object is transparent for the user, and handles the script(let) itself. The kinetic object provides several properties and methods, and declares some constants:

• Processes and threads:
  • processorcount
  • processor
  • allprocessors
  • currprocess
  • currthread
  • processpriority
  • threadpriority
  • processaffinity
  • threadaffinity
  • dontsynchthread
  • wait


• Running, compiling:
  • compilescript
  • runscript
  • pausescript
  • breakscript
  • stopscript
  • arguments
  • argumentcount
  • scriptiscompiling
  • scriptiscompiled
  • scriptisrunning
  • scriptispaused
  • scriptisbreaked
  • scriptisstopped
  • scriptisfunction
  • dontreset


• Locking:
  • lockscript


• Error handling:
  • ignoreerror
  • errorcode
  • errormsg


• Miscellaneous:
  • randomize

Properties

c = processorcount;

p = processor(i);

This function returns the bit-coded processor identifier of the i-th processor (from 0 to processorcount - 1).

p = allprocessors;

This function returns the bit-coded processor identifier for all available processors.

p = currprocess;

p = currthread;

p = processpriority;

processpriority = p;

p = threadpriority;

threadpriority = p;

a = processaffinity;

processaffinity = a;

a = threadaffinity;

threadaffinity = a;

s = dontsynchthread;

dontsynchthread = s;

r = dontreset;

dontreset = r;

i = ignoreerror;

ignoreerror = i;

e = errorcode;

e = errormsg;

a = argument(i);

argument(i) = a;

c = argumentcount(i);

r = scriptiscompiling(scriptname, libname);

Without argument, this function refers to the main script; otherwise, to a scriptlet.

r = scriptiscompiled(scriptname, libname);

Without argument, this function refers to the main script; otherwise, to a scriptlet.

r = scriptisrunning(scriptname, libname);

Without argument, this function refers to the main script; otherwise, to a scriptlet.

r = scriptispaused(scriptname, libname);

Without argument, this function refers to the main script; otherwise, to a scriptlet.

r = scriptisbreaked(scriptname, libname);

Without argument, this function refers to the main script; otherwise, to a scriptlet.

r = scriptisstopped(scriptname, libname);

Without argument, this function refers to the main script; otherwise, to a scriptlet.

r = scriptisfunction(scriptname, libname);

Methods

wait(time = t, until = u, step = s);

randomize;

[r = ]compilescript(scriptname, libname);

[r = ]runscript(scriptname = n, libname = l, dontwait = w, dontsynch = s, waitavail = w, dontreset = r, affinity = a, priority = p, arg0 = a0, arg1 = a1, ..., arg99 = a99);

pausescript(scriptname = n, libname = l);

Without argument, this function refers to the main script; otherwise, to a scriptlet.

breakscript(scriptname = n, libname = l);

Without argument, this function refers to the main script; otherwise, to a scriptlet.

stopscript(scriptname = n, libname = l);

Without argument, this function refers to the main script; otherwise, to a scriptlet.

lockscript(scriptname = n, libname = l, lockmode = m, lockvalue = v);
