| Syntax | (typDynamicUNID uniqueName) → UNID |
|---|---|
| Arguments | uniqueName: A string that represents the UNID to return. Must be at least one character long. |
| Returns | A UNID between 0xF0000000 and 0xFFFFFFFF. If the string has not been bound to any UNID, then the function will return a new UNID and bind the string to it. Otherwise, it will return the UNID that was bound to the name. |
| Category | type_functions, unid_functions |
| Description | Binds a string to a UNID in the 0xF0000000 range. The UNID can then be bound to a dynamic type. UNIDs start at 0xF0000000 and increment up whenever a new name is assigned. Use this function with typCreate to handle UNID assignment and prevent conflicts with existing types. |
