Name
CreateIPCPort -- create a new IPC port (V9.0)
Synopsis
APTR handle = CreateIPCPort(STRPTR name, struct hwTagList *tags);
Function
This function has to register a new IPC port that uses the name passed in the name parameter. IPC port names must be unique in the system, so this function must fail if there is already an IPC port with the specified name. Note that port names should always be case sensitive.

Hollywood will call FreeIPCPort() to free an IPC port allocated by this function. See FreeIPCPort for details.

Inputs
name
desired port name; must be unique
tags
reserved for future use, currently always NULL
Results
handle
handle to the IPC port or NULL in case of an error
