Parameters

• vendor_string:

  A bundle style vendor identifier(i.e. com.apple).

  Upon return, a unique vendor code for use when posting kernel events.

Return Value

May return ENOMEM if memory constraints prevent allocation of a new vendor code.

Discussion

Lookup a vendor_code given a unique string. If the vendor code has not been used since launch, a unique integer will be assigned for that string. Vendor codes will remain the same until the machine is rebooted.
