GetPrefs -- Get the current Intuition Preferences structure.
Prefs = GetPrefs( PrefBuffer, Size )
D0 A0 D0
struct Preferences *GetPrefs( struct Preferences *, WORD );
Gets a copy of the current Intuition Preferences structure.
Writes the data into the buffer you specify. The number of bytes you
want copied is specified by the size argument.
It is legal to take a partial copy of the Preferences structure.
The more pertinent preferences variables have been grouped near
the top of the structure to facilitate the memory conservation
that can be had by taking a copy of only some of the Preferences
structure.
New for V36: A new and more extensible method for supplying
Preferences has been introduced in V36, and relies on file
system notification. The Intuition preferences items rely
also on the IPrefs program. Certain elements of the
Preferences structure have been superseded by this new method.
As much as possible, the Preferences structure returned by
GetPrefs() reflect the current state of Preferences. However,
it is impossible to represent some of the V36-style preferences
items using the existing Preferences structure.
PrefBuffer = pointer to the memory buffer to receive your copy of the
Intuition Preferences
Size = the number of bytes in your PrefBuffer, the number of bytes
you want copied from the system's internal Preference settings
Returns your parameter PrefBuffer.
