Example 21H/42H:: O - Rdonly

The document discusses using interrupts in C programs. It shows examples of getting and setting interrupt vectors, defining interrupt handler functions, and generating interrupts by calling int86. The last section discusses creating TSR (terminate and stay resident) programs by getting the interrupt vector for interrupt 65h, setting the vector to a new handler, and using the keep function to stay resident in memory.

Example

#include<stdio.h>
21H/42H:

handle =
open("c:\\abc.txt",O_RDONLY);
#include<fcntl.h>
regs.x.bx = handle;
#include<io.h>
regs.h.ah = 0x42;
#include<BIOS.H>
regs.h.al = 0x01;
#include<DOS.H>
regs.x.cx = 0;
regs.x.dx = 0;
unsigned int handle;
int86(0x21,&regs,&regs);
void main()
*((int*)(&size)) = regs.x.ax;
{
*(((int*)(&size))+1) =regs.x.dx;
REGS regs;
unsigned long int size; Printf ("Size is %d ,size);
}

Example:
BIOS Services
Int # 10H

Service # 01H

Entry
AH = 01
CH = Beginning Scan Line
CL = Ending Scan Line

On Exit
Unchanged

Example:
void main()
{
char st[80];
union REGS regs;
regs.h.ah = 0x01;
regs.h.ch = 0x01;
regs.h.cl = 0x00;
int86(0x21,&regs,&regs);
gets(st);
}

p = 2000;
*p = 50;

void myfunc()

void (*funcptr) ( )
funcptr = myfunc;
(*funcptr) ( );

Program:

void interrupt *oldint65( );


char st[80] = {Hello World$};
void interrupt newint65(void);
void interrupt newint65( )
void main()
{
{
_AH = 0x09;
oldint65 = getvect(0x65);
_DX=(unsigned int)st;
setvect(0x65, newint65);
geninterrupt (0x21);
geninterrupt (0x65);
}
geninterrupt (0x65);
geninterrupt (0x65);
setvect(0x65, oldint65);

Keep:

Keep (0,100);
Keep (return code, no. of parse);

TSR Programs:
#include<BIOS.H>
#include<DOS.H>
char st[80] ={"Hello World$"};
void interrupt (*oldint65)( );
void interrupt newint65( );
void main()
void interrupt newint65( )
{
{
oldint65 = getvect(0x65);
_AH = 0x09;
setvect(0x65, newint65);
_DX=(unsigned int)st;
keep(0, 1000);
geninterrupt (0x21);
}
}

TSR Programs:

#include<BIOS.H>
#include<DOS.H>
void main()
{
geninterrupt (0x65);
geninterrupt (0x65);
