2 register - set or print a custom register value
5 custom("register", regnum[, value])
14 This custom function reads or sets a value of a custom register.
15 A custom register can hold any calc value.
17 Without a value arg, the register value is return. With a value
18 arg, the register is set with that value and the previous value
21 The number of custom registers is defined at compile time.
22 There will be at least 32 registers although there could be more
23 added in the future. It may be deterimed by:
25 custom("sysinfo", "REGNUM_MAX")
27 The custom registers are initialized to 0 by the internal
28 function libcalc_call_me_first() during calc startup.
30 This custom interface is intented to make it easier to interface
31 with special purpose hardware.

47 calc must be built with ALLOW_CUSTOM= -DCUSTOM
48 calc must be executed with a -C arg.
49 The regnum numbe bee an integer >= 0 and < REGNUM_MAX where
50 REGNUM_MAX is a compile time constant that is >= 32.
