26 /* SYNOPSIS */
29 /* LOCATION */
30 struct GfxBase *, GfxBase, 76, Graphics)
32 /* FUNCTION
33 The blitter is allocated for exclusive use by the calling task.
34 This function returns immediately if no other task is using
35 the blitter right now or if no blits are in the queues (QBlit(),
36 QBSBlit()). Otherwise the function will block until the blitter
37 can be accessed.
38 It is good practice to start the blitter immediately after calling
39 this function and then call DisownBlitter() so other tasks can
40 use the blitter.
