Description

x06aff, for multi-threaded implementations, returns 1 if called from within an active OpenMP parallel region, and 0 otherwise.
Note that the equivalent OpenMP routine omp_in_parallel() returns a logical value.
In serial implementations of the NAG Library this routine will always return 0. See the X06 Chapter Introduction for a discussion of the behaviour of these routines when called in serial.
