NAME
dpgetpid - get current DP process's id
SYNOPSIS
#include
void dpgetpid(mydpid)
DPID *mydpid;
DESCRIPTION
dpgetpid() stores in the DPID structure pointed to by mydpid
the current process's DP id.
The DPID structure is a 28-byte string that is used by DP
internals to store seven 32-bit integers. It is guaranteed
to be unique across all DP processes, and due to its 28-byte
size, can accommodate a huge number of DP processes. DP
applications need not concern themselves with interpreting
this id.
REMARK
This is a DP function call.
