    E.1 Introduction

    This chapter contains the specifications of all the Special Kernel Interface routines in alphabetical order. These special routines are supplied only to provide access to pre-v9 behaviour in their specific area of functionality. Their use is not encouraged other than in the particular instance as they will be withdrawn in a future version.

     

    Warning: Do not use these functions unless you know exactly why you need them and the equivalent standard routine does not provide the desired functionality, the correct way to obtain it is through the PK.

    Description

    This function takes the same arguments as BOPBYS. Its only purpose is to provide access to pre-v9 behaviour in partial booleans with excluded faces. As such, its use is STRONGLY DEPRECATED and it will be withdrawn in a future version. Do not use this unless you know exactly why you need it: if BOPBYS does not provide the desired functionality, the correct way to obtain it is through the PK.
