%gethostid() Function

For Windows: Not Supported

The %gethostid() function allows a FlashBASIC application to retrieve the unique 32-bit identifier for the current host. The ID is returned as a decimal number.

Description

If the function fails, a value of -1 is returned and the FlashBASIC system(0) function returns the value of errno.

ID=%gethostid()

if ID=-1 then

crt ’Cannot get host ID. errno=’:system(0)

stop

end
