NAME

Supervisor
trap to a short supervisor mode function

SYNOPSIS

result = Supervisor(userFunc)
Rx A5

ULONG Supervisor(void *);

FUNCTION

Allow a normal user-mode program to execute a short assembly language function in the supervisor mode of the processor. Supervisor() does not modify or save registers; the user function has full access to the register set. All rules that apply to interrupt code must be followed. In addition, no system calls are permitted. The function must end with an RTE instruction.
