23 /* SYNOPSIS */
24 AROS_LHA(struct Library *, library, A1),

28 /* LOCATION */

31 /* FUNCTION
32 Replaces a certain jumptable entry with another one. This function only
33 Forbid()s taskswitching but doesn't Disable() interrupts. You have
34 to do your own arbitration for functions which are callable from
35 interrupts.
37 INPUTS
38 library - Pointer to library structure.
39 funcOffset - Offset of the jumpvector from the library base address in
40 bytes. It's the negative LVO (library vector offset)
41 multiplied with LIB_VECTSIZE.
42 newFunction - New jumptable entry (pointer to the new function).
44 RESULT
45 Old jumptable entry (pointer to the old function).
47 NOTES
48 While it's more or less safe to patch a library vector with
49 SetFunction() it's not possible to safely remove the patch later.
50 So don't use this function if it can be avoided.
52 EXAMPLE
53 Patch of the function Open() from dos.library:
54 You can find the LVO of 5 in clib/dos_protos.h.
55 SetFunction(DOSBase, -5 * LIB_VECTSIZE, NewOpen);
56 NewOpen must be prepared with AROS_UFH macros.
58 BUGS
59 None.
