AmDaemon (Daemon property)

Is the current thread controlled by a Daemon? (Daemon class)

AmDaemon returns a Boolean enumeration to indicate whether AmDaemon was issued on a daemon thread associated with a Daemon object.

Syntax

%boolean = %(Daemon):AmDaemon

%boolean	An enumeration object of type `Boolean` to contain the returned value of `AmDaemon`. `AmDaemon` returns `True` if issued on a `Daemon`-associated thread; otherwise it returns `False`.
`%(Daemon)`	The class name in parentheses denotes a shared method. `AmDaemon` can also be invoked via a `Daemon` object variable, which may be `Null`.

Since a daemon thread can run web requests, socket server requests, and $CommndL requests, AmDaemon distinguishes a daemon thread that is working for a Daemon object from, say, a daemon thread running a web request. This distinction is particularly important for certain methods, such as ReturnToMaster or ReturnObject, that can only be issued on a thread associated with a Daemon object.
If a daemon thread was spawned by RunIndependently, AmDaemon will return False since the damon thread has no returnable objects.
