// Desc : Format the logical volume 'theDisk', with a string 'type' representing the preferred filesystem type (for example, "fat", "fat16", "fat32, etc). Label it with 'label'.

// Desc : Check the filesystem on disk 'name'. If 'force' is non-zero, the filesystem will be checked regardless of whether the filesystem driver thinks it needs to be. If 'repair' is non-zero, the filesystem driver will attempt to repair any errors found. If 'repair' is zero, a non-zero return value may indicate that errors were found.

// Desc : Change the ownership of an allocated block of memory beginning at address 'addr'. 'opid' is the process ID of the currently owning process, and 'npid' is the process ID of the intended new owner.

'execImage' is a processImage structure that describes the loaded location of the file, the program's desired virtual address, entry point, size, etc. If the value returned by the call is a positive integer, the call was successful and the value is the new process' process ID. New processes are created and left in a stopped state, so if you want it to run you will need to set it to a running state ('ready', actually) using the function call multitaskerSetProcessState().
// Desc : Spawn a thread from the current process. The starting point of the code (for example, a function address) should be specified as 'addr'. 'name' will be the new thread's name. 'numargs' and 'args' will be passed as the "int argc, char *argv[]) parameters of the new thread. If there are no arguments, these should be 0 and NULL, respectively. If the value returned by the call is a positive integer, the call was successful and the value is the new thread's process ID. New threads are created and made runnable, so there is no need to change its state to activate it.

// Desc : Terminate the process referenced by process ID 'pid'. If 'force' is non-zero, the multitasker will attempt to ignore any errors and dismantle the process with extreme prejudice. The 'force' flag also has the necessary side effect of killing any child threads spawned by process 'pid'. (Otherwise, 'pid' is left in a stopped state until its threads have terminated normally).
// Desc : Load a file referenced by the pathname 'filename', and fill the file data structure 'theFile' with the details. The pointer returned points to the resulting file data.

// Desc : Run 'command' as a process with the privilege level 'privilege'. If successful, the call's return value is the process ID of the new process.

_X_ static inline int loaderLoadLibrary(const char *libraryName)
{
// Proto: int kernelLoaderLoadLibrary(const char *);
// Desc : This takes the name of a library file 'libraryName' to load and creates a shared library in the kernel. This function is not especially useful to user programs, since normal shared library loading happens automatically as part of the 'loaderLoadProgram' process.
_X_ static inline int loaderExecProgram(int processId, int block)

// Desc : Execute the process referenced by process ID 'processId'. If 'block' is non-zero, the calling process will block until process 'pid' has terminated, and the return value of the call is the return value of process 'pid'.

// Desc : Draw the image 'drawImage' into the graphic buffer 'buffer', using the drawing mode 'mode' (for example, 'draw_normal' or 'draw_xor'), the starting X coordinate 'xCoord' and the starting Y coordinate 'yCoord'. The 'xOffset' and 'yOffset' parameters specify an offset into the image to start the drawing (0, 0 to draw the whole image). Similarly the 'width' and 'height' parameters allow you to specify a portion of the image (0, 0 to draw the whole image -- minus any X or Y offsets from the previous parameters). So, for example, to draw only the middle pixel of a 3x3 image, you would specify xOffset=1, yOffset=1, width=1, height=1. If 'buffer' is NULL, draw directly onto the screen.

The buffer clip is bounded by the starting X coordinate 'clipX', the starting Y coordinate 'clipY', the width 'clipWidth' and the height 'clipHeight'.

// Desc : Tell the windowing system whether to make 'window' minimized or not. Non-zero 'minimized' means make the window non-visible, but accessible via the task bar. Zero 'minimized' means restore a minimized window to its normal, visible size.

// Desc : Add a console text area component to 'window' using the supplied componentParameters. The console text area is where most kernel logging and error messages are sent, particularly at boot time.

Destroying the window is one way to free the console area to be used in another window.
// Desc : Tells the windowing system to redraw whatever is supposed to be in the screen area bounded by the supplied coordinates. This might be useful if you were drawing non-window-based things (i.e., things without their own independent graphics buffer) directly onto the screen and you wanted to restore an area to its original contents. For example, the mouse driver uses this method to erase the pointer from its previous position.
// Desc : Creates a window event using the supplied event structure. This function is most often used within the kernel, particularly in the mouse and keyboard functions, to signify clicks or key presses.

If the return value is zero, no event was pending.
_X_ static inline int windowScreenShot(image *saveImage)
{
// Proto: int kernelWindowScreenShot(image *);
// Desc : Get an image representation of the entire screen in the image data structure 'saveImage'. Note that it is not necessary to allocate memory for the data pointer of the image structure beforehand, as this is done automatically.

// Desc : This is a call to set the 'selected' value of the window component 'component'. The type of value accepted depends upon the type of component; a list component, for example, will use the 0-based number to select one of its items. On the other hand, a boolean component such as a checkbox will clear itself if 'selected' is 0, and set itself otherwise.
// Desc : Get a new button component to be placed inside the parent object 'parent', with the given component parameters, and with the (optional) label 'label', or the (optional) image 'buttonImage'. Either 'label' or 'buttonImage' can be used, but not both.
