        !            11: The \fIlocal\fP function provides the application developer
        !            12: with the means to change the disposition of a process from the
        !            13: connected state (e.g. using a \f2layers\f1 connection and host resources)
        !            14: to a local state. 
        !            15: The host side processes are killed as if the process were
        !            16: deleted. However the terminal retains all local information and
        !            17: other resources that were requested through
        !            18: the \f2request(3R)\f1 function.  If the process does not own
        !            19: the KBD resource, typing on the keyboard will sound the
        !            20: bell.
        !            21: .PP
        !            22: When a process is made local, the border
        !            23: surrounding the process's window is changed to a checkered pattern
        !            24: to differentiate it with connected windows.  
        !            25: .PP
        !            26: The \fIlocal\fP function will fail if the process is
        !            27: already local or is the
        !            28: last process connected to the host. Therefore,
        !            29: the \fIlocal\fP function will always fail if the process is
        !            30: operating in the non-layers environment which, by definition,
        !            31: supports only one host connection. 
        !            32: A \fIlocal\fP function failure results in a zero value being returned. On success,
        !            33: a 1 is returned.
