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. - DPMIsee DOS Protected-Mode Interface SERVICES AX = 2780h CL = 06h CH = function 00h "F_InitDPMI" used for internal initialization 01h "F_DescAllocLDT" allocate LDT descriptor 02h "F_DescFreeLDT" free LDT descriptor 03h "F_DescGetLDT" get details on LDT descriptor 04h "F_DescSetLDT" set up LDT descriptor 05h "F_DescAllocInt21" allocate descriptor for PM INT 21 06h "F_WhereIsDPMI" get address of DPMIsee DOS Protected-Mode Interface global data Return: ??? Notes: called by DPMSsee DOS Protected-Mode Services.EXE and EMM386.EXE the handler for this function may be set by one of the subfunctions of AX=2780h/CL=01h; the default handler returns AX=BX=FFFFh and CX=0001h (see #02739) this 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.
