# set\_selector

```
set a selector value
        arguments:      sel - the selector number
                        val - value of selector
        returns:        nothing
        note:           ida supports up to 4096 selectors.
                        if 'sel' == 'val' then the
                        selector is destroyed because
                        it has no significance

void set_selector(long sel, long value);
