INT 61 - Banyan VINES - VINES SOCKET 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. (FAR DATA) AX = 000Fh CX:BX -> request block (see #03444) DX = application's data segment (should be = CX) ES = DS Return: AX = status 0000h successful 0099h invalid operation 00A5h resource not available Desc: StreetTalk access with session handles Notes: This service is handled by the adapter driver The request dispatch table contains dummy entries for subfunctions 06h, 0Dh, 0Eh, 0Fh, 10h, and 11h, which always return error 0099h (invalid operation) in the request block's result buffer This interface does the same as the corresponding AX=0001h interface, but with a slightly modified request block structure (i.e it allows FAR parameter block pointers) and without expecting DS=0001h Some adapter drivers (e.g. the NDIS2 token ring driver NDTOKBAN for VINES 5.53) ignore the value in CX and use the value from DX instead SeeAlso: AX=0001h/SF=0001h,AX=000Fh/SF=0001h Format of VINES Socket request block: Offset Size Description (Table 03444) 00h WORD subfunction number (01h-16h) 02h WORD magic number (FEFEh) 04h WORD buffer for return code (set to 0 before calling) 06h WORD reserved (will be set to client DS) 08h WORD reserved (obviously not used; set to 0 before calling) 0Ah DWORDDoubleword; four bytes. Commonly used to hold a 32-bit segment:offset or selector:offset address. far pointer to parameter block 0Eh WORD StreetTalk handle SeeAlso: #03324 at INT 61/AX=0001h
