No, because I should have written "process tool" rather than
"discrim" :-)

The interface for EROS process tool is here:

http://www.eros-os.org/devel/ObRef/kernel/ProcessTool.html

The analogous operation in Coyotos must act on FCRBs. It hasn't yet been
defined, but it will probably look very similar to the process tool's
OC=3 and OC=4 cases (which, in current EROS, operate on wrappers, not
red segments).
