Interrupt List, part 6 of 10 This compilation is Copyright (c) 1989,1990,1991,1992,1993 Ralf Brown --------D-22--------------------------------- INT 22 - DOS 1+ - PROGRAM TERMINATION ADDRESS Desc: this vector specifies the address of the routine which is to be given control after a program is terminated; it should never be called directly, since it does not point at an interrupt handler Notes: this vector is restored from the DWORD at offset 0Ah in the PSP during termination, and then a FAR JMP is performed to the address in INT 22 normally points at the instruction immediately following INT 21/AH=4Bh call which loaded the current program SeeAlso: INT 20,INT 21/AH=00h,INT 21/AH=31h,INT 21/AH=4Ch --------G-22--------------------------------- INT 22 - COMTROL HOSTESS i/ISA DEBUGGER - CHANGE FIRMWARE DEBUGGING PORT AL = new firmware debugging port Return: ??? SeeAlso: INT 21"COMTROL",INT 23"COMTROL" --------D-23--------------------------------- INT 23 - DOS 1+ - CONTROL-C/CONTROL-BREAK HANDLER ---DOS 1.x--- Return: AH = 00h abort program if all registers preserved, restart DOS call ---DOS 2+--- CF clear Return: all registers preserved return via RETF or RETF 2 with CF set DOS will abort program with errorlevel 0 else (RETF/RETF 2 with CF clear or IRET) interrupted DOS call is restarted Notes: this interrupt is invoked whenever DOS detects a ^C or ^Break; it should never be called directly MS-DOS 1.25 also invokes INT 23 on a divide overflow (INT 00) DOS remembers the stack pointer before calling INT 23, and if it is not the same on return, pops and discards the top word; this is what permits a return with RETF as well as IRET or RETF 2 any DOS call may safely be made within the INT 23 handler, although the handler must to check for a recursive invocation if it does call DOS SeeAlso: INT 1B --------G-23--------------------------------- INT 23 - COMTROL HOSTESS i/ISA DEBUGGER - GET CONFIGURATION INFORMATION AL = query type 00h get old config map Return: AX = old config map 01h get dual-ported RAM map Return: BX:AX = dual-ported RAM map 02h get SCC port map Return: BX:AX = SCC port map SeeAlso: INT 22"COMTROL",INT 26"COMTROL" --------D-24--------------------------------- INT 24 - DOS 1+ - CRITICAL ERROR HANDLER Note: invoked when a critical (usually hardware) error is encountered;

Return: ??? Desc: invoke a copy of the remote Turbo Debugger kernel on the Hostess i controller SeeAlso: INT 20"COMTROL",INT 26"COMTROL" --------D-28--------------------------------- INT 28 C - DOS 2+ - DOS IDLE INTERRUPT SS:SP = top of MS-DOS stack for I/O functions Return: all registers preserved Desc: This interrupt is invoked each time one of the DOS character input functions loops while waiting for input. Since a DOS call is in progress even though DOS is actually idle during such input waits, hooking this function is necessary to allow a TSR to perform DOS calls while the foreground program is waiting for user input. The INT 28h handler may invoke any INT 21h function except functions 00h through 0Ch. Notes: under DOS 2.x, the critical error flag (the byte immediately after the InDOS flag) must be set in order to call DOS functions 50h/51h from the INT 28h handler without destroying the DOS stacks. calls to INT 21/AH=3Fh,40h from within an INT 28 handler may not use a handle which refers to CON at the time of the call, the InDOS flag (see INT 21/AH=34h) is normally set to 01h; if larger, DOS is truly busy and should not be reentered the default handler is an IRET instruction supported in OS/2 compatibility box the _MS-DOS_Programmer's_Reference_ for DOS 5.0 incorrectly documents this interrupt as superseded SeeAlso: INT 21/AH=34h,INT 2A/AH=84h,INT 2F/AX=1680h --------D-29--------------------------------- INT 29 C - DOS 2+ - FAST CONSOLE OUTPUT AL = character to display Return: nothing Notes: automatically called when writing to a device with bit 4 of its device driver header set (see also INT 21/AH=52h) COMMAND.COM v3.2 and v3.3 compare the INT 29 vector against the INT 20 vector and assume that ANSI.SYS is installed if the segment is larger the default handler under DOS 2.x and 3.x simply calls INT 10/AH=0Eh the default handler under DESQview 2.2 understands the <Esc>[2J screen-clearing sequence, calls INT 10/AH=0Eh for all others SeeAlso: INT 21/AH=52h,INT 2F/AX=0802h,INT 79 --------N-2A00------------------------------- INT 2A - NETWORK (Microsoft, LANtastic) - INSTALLATION CHECK AH = 00h Return: AH <> 00h if installed CF set if NetWare v2.15 NetBIOS emulator installed Note: also supported by Lantastic, NetWare, 10NET, etc. SeeAlso: INT 5C --------N-2A0000----------------------------- INT 2A - AT&T Starlan Extended NetBIOS (var length names) - INSTALLATION CHECK AX = 0000h Return: AH = DDh SeeAlso: INT 5B --------N-2A01------------------------------- INT 2A - NETWORK (Microsoft,LANtastic) - EXECUTE NETBIOS REQUEST,NO ERROR RETRY AH = 01h ES:BX -> NCB (see INT 5C) Return: AL = NetBIOS error code AH = 00h if no error = 01h on error SeeAlso: AH=04h,AX=0500h,INT 5B,INT 5C"NetBIOS" --------N-2A02------------------------------- INT 2A - NETWORK (Microsoft) - SET NET PRINTER MODE AH = 02h ???

DOS 3.1+ contains a zero-terminated list of words beginning at offset -11 from the Swappable Data Area (see INT 21/AX=5D06h); each word contains the offset within the DOS data segment of a byte which must be changed from C3h (RET) to 50h (POP AX) under DOS 3.x or from 00h to a nonzero value under DOS 4+ to enable use of critical sections. For DOS 4+, all words in this list point at the byte at offset 0D0Ch. SeeAlso: AH=81h,AH=82h,AX=8700h,INT 21/AX=5D06h,INT 21/AX=5D0Bh --------D-2A81------------------------------- INT 2A CU - NETWORK - END DOS CRITICAL SECTION AH = 81h AL = critical section number (00h-0Fh) (see AH=80h) Notes: normally hooked rather than called the handler should reawaken any tasks which were suspended due to an attempt to enter the specified critical section SeeAlso: AH=80h,AH=82h,AX=8700h --------D-2A82------------------------------- INT 2A CU - NETWORK - END DOS CRITICAL SECTIONS 0 THROUGH 7 AH = 82h Notes: called by the INT 21h function dispatcher for function 0 and functions greater than 0Ch except 59h, and on process termination the handler should reawaken any tasks which were suspended due to an attempt to enter one of the critical sections 0 through 7 SeeAlso: AH=81h --------N-2A84------------------------------- INT 2A CU - NETWORK - KEYBOARD BUSY LOOP AH = 84h Note: similar to DOS's INT 28h, called from inside the DOS keyboard input loop (i.e. INT 21/AH=07h or INT 21/AH=08h) to allow the network software to process requests SeeAlso: INT 28 --------N-2A86------------------------------- INT 2A U - PC Network v1.00 - RECEIVER.COM - ???

If CF is clear on return, PRINT begins its background processing, and calls AX=8701h when it is done. If CF is set on return, PRINT will relinquish control immediately, and will not call AX=8701h PCVENUS (an early network shell by IBM and CMU) hooks this call to prevent background printing while its own code is active SeeAlso: AH=80h,AH=81h,AX=8701h --------P-2A8701----------------------------- INT 2A CU - PRINT - END BACKGROUND PRINTING AX = 8701h Desc: used to inform interested programs that PRINT has completed its background processing Note: called by PRINT after it has performed some background printing; not called if AX=8700h returned with CF set.

The interrupt number is subject to change before the actual release. --------m-2C--------------------------------- INT 2C R - RM386 v6.00 - CLOAKING - CALL PROTECTED-MODE PASSALONG CHAIN Note: when this interrupt is invoked in V86 mode, RM386 will invoke the first in a chain of protected-mode handlers, and will only pass execution to the V86-mode INT 2C handler if none of the handlers in the passalong chain handle the call instead. This is the method by which the real-mode stub of a cloaked application communicates with the protected-mode portion.

BL is ignored if the TSR returns AL=04h; in that case, the caller needs to scan the return list rather than making additional calls to this function. If the return is not 00h or 04h, then the caller must cycle through the remaining interrupt numbers it wishes to check. return values 01h thru 03h are disparaged and will be removed from the next version of this specification; they are included for compatibility with version 3.3, though they were probably never used in any implementation 05h get hotkeys Return: AL = status 00h not implemented FFh supported DX:BX -> hotkey list (see below) 06h-0Fh reserved for future enhancements Return: AL = 00h (not implemented) other application-dependent Notes: programs should not use fixed multiplex numbers; rather, a program should scan all multiplex numbers from 00h to FFh, remembering the first unused multiplex in case the program is not yet installed. For multiplex numbers which are in use, the program should compare the first 16 bytes of the signature string to determine whether it is already installed on that multiplex number. If not previously installed, it should use the first free multiplex number. functions other than 00h are not valid unless a program is installed on the selected multiplex number to be considered fully compliant with version 3.5 of the specification, programs must implement at least functions 00h, 02h (no resident uninstall code required), and 04h (return value 04h). TSRs that provide hotkeys with which the user can activate them must also implement function 05h. The absolute minimum fully-compliant implementation has an overhead of 64 bytes (80 bytes with function 05h) plus 22 bytes per hooked interrupt (for the interrupt sharing protocol header and hook list entry). the signature string and description may be used by memory mappers to display the installed programs users of this proposal should adhere to the IBM interrupt sharing protocol (see below), which will permit removal of TSRs in arbitrary order and interrupt handler reordering. All TSRs following this proposal should be removable, though they need not keep the code for removing themselves resident; it is acceptable for a separate program to perform the removal. A sample implementation including example TSRs and utility programs may be found in a separate package distributed as AMISLnnn.ZIP (AMISL091.ZIP as of this writing). Please let me know if you choose to follow this proposal. The signature and a list of the private API calls you use would be appreciated, as well.

When searching for a free identifier code for AH using the installation check (AL=00h), the calling program should set BX/CX/DX to 0000h and must not depend on any registers other than CS:IP and SS:SP to be valid on return, since numerous programs now use additional registers on input and/or output for the installation check. Notes: Since the multiplex chain is growing so long, and beginning to experience multiplex number collisions, I am proposing an alternate multiplex interrupt on INT 2D. If you decide to use the alternate multiplex, please let me know. DOS and some other programs return values in the flags register, so any TSR which chains by calling the previous handler rather than jumping to it should ensure that the returned flags are preserved and passed back to the original caller SeeAlso: INT 2D --------t-2F--------------------------------- INT 2F - BMB Compuscience Canada Utilities Interface - INSTALLATION CHECK AH = xx (dynamically assigned based upon a search for a multiplex number which doesn't answer installed) AL = 00h installation check ES:DI = EBEBh:BEBEh Return: AL = 00h not installed 01h not installed, not OK to install FFh installed; if ES:DI was EBEBh:BEBEh on entry, ES:DI will point to a string of the form 'MMMMPPPPPPPPvNNNN' where MMMM is a short form of the manufacturer's name, PPPPPPPP is a product name and NNNN is the product's version number --------t-2F--------------------------------- INT 2F - Ross Wentworth's Turbo Pascal POPUP LIBRARY AH = programmer-selected multiplex number AL = function 00h installation check Return: AL = FFh if installed 01h get TSR interrupt vectors Return: DX:AX -> vector table (see below) 02h get TSR code segment Return: AX = code segment for all interrupt handlers 03h call user exit routine and release TSR's memory 04h get signature string Return: DX:AX -> counted string containing signature 05h get TSR's INT 2F handler Return: DX:AX -> INT 2F handler 06h enable/disable TSR BL = new state (00h disabled, 01h enabled) 07h activate TSR (popup if not disabled) 08h get hotkeys BL = which hotkey (00h = hotkey 1, 01h = hotkey 2) Return: AX = hotkey (AH = keyflags, AL = scancode) 09h set hotkey BL = which hotkey (00h = hotkey 1, 01h = hotkey 2) CX = new hotkey (CH = keyflags, CL = scancode) 0Ah-1Fh reserved Index: installation check;Ross Wentworth POPUP library Index: hotkeys;Ross Wentworth POPUP library Format of vector table entry: Offset Size Description 00h BYTE vector number (00h = end of table) 01h DWORD original vector 05h WORD offset of interrupt handler in TSR's code segment --------t-2F--------------------------------- INT 2F - CiriSOFT Spanish University of Valladolid TSR's Interface AH = xx (dynamically assigned based upon a search for a multiplex number from C0h to FFh which doesn't answer installed) AL = 00h installation check ES:DI = 1492h:1992h Return: AL = 00h not installed 01h not installed, not OK to install FFh installed; and if ES:DI was 1492h:1992h on entry, ES:DI will point to author_name_ver table (see below) AH = FFh Note: this interface permits advanced communication with TSRs: it is possible to make a generic uninstall utility, advanced TSR relocator programs in order to fit fragmented memory areas, etc. See also: INT 2D"AMIS",INT 2F"Compuscience" Index: installation check;CiriSOFT TSR interface Index: uninstall;CiriSOFT TSR interface Format of author_name_ver table: Offset Size Description -16 WORD segment of the start of the resident TSR code (CS in programs with PSP, XMS upper memory segment if installed as UMB...) -14 WORD offset of the start of the resident TSR code (frequently 100h in *.COM programs and 0 in upper memory TSR's). -12 WORD memory used by TSR (in paragraphs).
