		<title>
		<function moreinfo="none">ul_register_domain(name)</function>
		</title>
		<para>
		The function registers a new domain. Domain is just another name for 
		table used in registrar. The function is called from fixups in 
		registrar. It gets name of the domain as a parameter and returns 
		pointer to a new domain structure. The fixup than 'fixes' the 
		parameter in registrar so that it will pass the pointer instead of the
		name every time save() or lookup() is called. Some usrloc functions 
		get the pointer as parameter when called. For more details see 
		implementation of save function in registrar.
		</para>
		<para>Meaning of the parameters is as follows:</para>

		<listitem>
			<para><emphasis>const char* name</emphasis> - Name of the domain 
				(also called table) to be registered.
