A little odd: TAG_DONE and TAG_END
Sometimes one might get confused when to use TAG_DONE in AmigaOS C-code, and when to use TAG_END. The answer is very simple: They're one and the same. But it turns out there might be a little bit of an unknown story to these two widely used tokens.
TAG_DONE showed up before TAG_END, in NDK1.3, along with struct
TagItem, but not as part of the system includes, and the TagItem system
wasn't used in system functions.
Or was it? This is a section of code from the file Read-Me1.3/A2024Docs/OpenA2024.c, which is part of NDK1.3.
