FindSegment - Finds a segment on the resident list (V36)
segment = FindSegment(name, start, system)
D0 D1 D2 D3
struct Segment *FindSegment(STRPTR, struct Segment *, LONG)
Finds a segment on the Dos resident list by name and type, starting
at the segment AFTER 'start', or at the beginning if start is NULL.
If system is zero, it will only return nodes with a seg_UC of 0
or more. It does NOT increment the seg_UC, and it does NOT do any
locking of the list. You must Forbid() lock the list to use this
call.
To use an entry you have found, you must: if the seg_UC is 0 or more,
increment it, and decrement it (under Forbid()!) when you're done
the the seglist.
The other values for seg_UC are:
-1 - system module, such as a filesystem or shell
-2 - resident shell command
-999 - disabled internal command, ignore
Negative values should never be modified. All other negative
values between 0 and -32767 are reserved to AmigaDos and should not
be used.
name - name of segment to find
start - segment to start the search after
system - true for system segment, false for normal segments
segment - the segment found or NULL
