value_t | basic | EMF
## Synopsis Structure used to store all possible data types. ## Prototype
     #include "uemf.h"

     typedef struct {

        union {
            char    bool;
            char    byteint;

        symbol      = 12,

    } value_type_t;
## Description The value_t type is used heavily in the GoAhead EMF database API. ## Example
    /********************************************/
    /*
     *	Initialize a boolean value.
     */

    value_t valueBool(int value)
    {
        value_t	v = VALUE_VALID;

        v.type = bool;
        v.value.bool = (char) value;
        return v;
    }
