INT 2F U - Novell DOS 7 - EMM386.EXE - MULTITASKING API(Application Program[ming] Interface) The defined set of calls which a program may make to interact with or request services of the operating system or environment under which it is running. Because the inputs and outputs of the calls are well-defined, a program using the API can continue using the identical calls even if the internal organization of the program providing the API changes. - MEMORY AX = 2780h CL = 03h (module: Memory) CH = subfunction 00h ??? 01h "F_PdirGet" ??? 02h "F_PdirSet" ??? 03h "Z_PageAlloc" allocate a given page of memory 04h "F_PageAllocG" allocate global page??? 05h "F_PageAllocI" allocate instance page??? 06h "F_PtblRead" get page table??? 07h "F_PtrlWrite" select page table??? 08h "Z_PtblGet" read page table 09h "Z_PtblSet" change page table 0Ah "Z_PagesAlloc" allocate pages of memory 0Bh "Z_PageFree" free a given page of memory 0Ch "Z_MemAlloc" allocate a memory block 0Dh "Z_MemFree" release memory block 0Eh "Z_MemSizeGet" get size of memory block 0Fh "Z_MemResize" resize a memory block 10h "Z_DescAlloc" allocate a memory descriptor 11h "Z_DescFree" release a memory descriptor 12h "Z_DescGet" get details on memory descriptor 13h "Z_DescSet" set a memory descriptor 14h "Z_MemDescAlloc" allocate a memory block and its descriptor 15h "Z_MemDescFree" release a memory block and its descriptor 16h "Z_MemDescSizeGet" get size of memory block 17h "Z_MemDescResize" resize a memory block 18h "Z_PageLock" lock a page, with existing contents 19h "Z_PageUnlock" unlock a page 1Ah "Z_PageLockAny" lock a page, contents undefined 1Bh "Z_PageUnlockReuse" unlock page, reuse phsyical memory 1Ch "Z_PageLockNone" lock a page, no physical memory assigned 1Dh "Z_PageUnlockNone" unlock a page, don't reuse physical memory 1Eh "F_CallRealRaw" call real mode (SS:ESP supplied) 1Fh "F_IntRealRaw" perform real-mode interrupt (SS:ESP supplied) 20h "F_CallReal" call real mode with RETF frame 21h "F_IntReal" perform real-mode interrupt 22h "F_PagedCallReal" paged real-mode call 23h "F_PagedIntReal" paged real-mode interrupt 24h "F_CallIretReal" call real mode with IRET frame 25h "F_CallIretRealRaw" call real mode with IRET (SS:ESP supplied) 26h "F_CallProt16" call 16-bit protected-mode code 27h "F_CallProt32" call 32-bit protected-mode code 28h "F_IAddPage" add kernel instance data 29h "Z_PageDomLock" lock page in specific domain, preserve contents 2Ah "Z_PatgeDomUnlock" unlock page in specific domain 2Bh "Z_PageDomLockAny" lock page in specific domain, undef contents 2Ch "Z_PageDomUnlockReuse" unlock page in spec. domain,reuse ph.mem 2Dh "Z_PageDomLockNone" lock page in spec. domain, no phys memory 2Eh "Z_PageDomUnlockNone" unlock page in spec. domain, no phys. mem 2Fh "Z_GateAlloc" allocate a gate 30h "Z_GateFree" release a gate 31h "X_MemFreeGet" get total free memory 32h "X_MemTopGet" get highest memory address 33h "X_MemTotalGet" get total memory size 34h "F_DescRead" ??? 35h "F_DescWrite" ??? 36h "F_GetStack" ??? 37h "F_SetStack" ???
