INT 2F - MS Windows - STAT.386 - GET 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.

(Table 02706)
Call STAT.386 entry point with:
	AX = function
	    0000h get version
		Return: AX = STAT.386 version (AH = major, AL = minor)
	    0001h execute RDMSR/WRMSR/RDTSC
		BH = 00h
		BL = second opcode byte (30h=WRMSR,31h=RDTSC,32h=RDMSR)
		EDX:EDI = value to be written (for BL=30h)
		ECX = MSR(Model-Specific Register) Additional, indirectly-accessible, registers containing control or status information about various aspects of the processor such as caches, performance counters, and the like.	These registers, accessible via the RDMSR and WRMSR instructions, were added with the Pentium and later-model 486 processors. number for RDMSR/WRMSR
		Return: EDX:EAX = value read (RDTSR/RDMSR only)
