SYSTEM FUNCTIONS of OS Kolibri 0.7.7.0
Number of the function is located in the register eax.
The call of the system function is executed by "int 0x40" command.
All registers except explicitly declared in the returned value,
including eflags, are preserved.
======================================================================
============== Function 0 - define and draw the window. ==============
======================================================================
Defines an application window. Draws a frame of the window, header and
working area. For skinned windows defines standard close and minimize
buttons.
Parameters:
* eax = 0 - function number
* ebx = [coordinate on axis x]*65536 + [size on axis x]
* ecx = [coordinate on axis y]*65536 + [size on axis y]
* edx = 0xXYRRGGBB, where:
* Y = style of the window:
* Y=1 - only define window area, draw nothing
* Y=3 - skinned window
* Y=4 - skinned fixed-size window
* Y=0,2 window types are outdated and should not be used anymore,
they are retained for compatibility with old programs.
* other possible values (from 5 to 15) are reserved,
function call with such Y is ignored
* RR, GG, BB = accordingly red, green, blue components of a color
of the working area of the window (are ignored for style Y=1)
* X = DCBA (bits)
* A = 1 - window has caption
* B = 1 - coordinates of all graphics primitives are relative to
window client area
* C = 1 - don't fill working area on window draw
* D = 0 - normal filling of the working area, 1 - gradient
The following parameters are intended for windows
of a type I and II, and ignored for styles Y=1,3:
* esi = 0xXYRRGGBB - color of the header
* RR, GG, BB define color
* Y=0 - usual window, Y=1 - unmovable window (works for all window styles)
* X not used, other values of Y are reserved
* edi = caption string for styles Y=3,4 (also can be set by func 71.1)
Returned value:
* function does not return value
Remarks:
* Position and sizes of the window are installed by the first
call of this function and are ignored at subsequent; to change
position and/or sizes of already created window use function 67.
* For windows with styles Y=3,4 and caption (A=1) caption string
is set by the first call of this function and is ignored
at subsequent (strictly speaking, is ignored after a call to
subfunction 2 of function 12 - end redraw); to change caption of
already created window use subfunction 1 of function 71.
* If the window has appropriate styles, position and/or sizes can be
changed by user. Current position and sizes can be obtained
by function 9.
* The window must fit on the screen. If the transferred
coordinates and sizes do not satisfy to this condition,
appropriate coordinate (or, probably, both) is considered as zero,
and if it does not help too, the appropriate size
(or, probably, both) is installed in a size of the screen.
Further let us designate xpos,ypos,xsize,ysize - values passed
in ebx,ecx. The coordinates are resulted concerning
the left upper corner of the window, which, thus, is set as (0,0),
coordinates of the right lower corner essence (xsize,ysize).
* The sizes of the window are understood in sense of coordinates
of the right lower corner. This concerns all other functions too.
It means, that the real sizes are on 1 pixel more.
* The window of style Y=1 looks as follows:
* completely defined by the application
* The skinned window Y=3,4 looks as follows:
* draw external frame of width 1 pixel
with color 'outer' from the skin
* draw intermediate frame of width 3 pixel
with color 'frame' from the skin
* draw internal frame of width 1 pixel
with color 'inner' from the skin
* draw header (on bitmaps from the skin) in a rectangle
(0,0) - (xsize,_skinh-1)
* if ysize>=26, fill the working area of the window -
rectangle with the left upper corner (5,_skinh) and right lower
(xsize-5,ysize-5) with color indicated in edx
(taking a gradient into account)
* define two standard buttons: close and minimize
(see function 8)
* if A=1 and edi contains (nonzero) pointer to caption string,
it is drawn in place in header defined in the skin
* value _skinh is accessible as the result of call
subfunction 4 of function 48

eax - SF_CREATE_WINDOW (0)
======================================================================
================ Function 1 - put pixel in the window. ===============
======================================================================
Parameters:
* eax = 1 - function number
* ebx = x-coordinate (relative to the window)
* ecx = y-coordinate (relative to the window)
* edx = 0x00RRGGBB - color of a pixel
edx = 0x01xxxxxx - invert color of a pixel
(low 24 bits are ignored)
Returned value:
* function does not return value

eax - SF_PUT_PIXEL (1)
======================================================================
============ Function 2 - get the code of the pressed key. ===========
======================================================================
Takes away the code of the pressed key from the buffer.
Parameters:
* eax = 2 - function number
Returned value:
* if the buffer is empty, function returns eax=1
* if the buffer is not empty, function returns al=0,
ah=code of the pressed key,
bits 16-23 = contain scancode for pressed key in ASCII mode,
in the scancodes mode this bits cleared.
bits 23-31 = zero
* if there is "hotkey", function returns al=2,
ah=scancode of the pressed key (0 for control keys),
high word of eax contains a status of control keys at the moment
of pressing a hotkey
Remarks:
* There is a common system buffer of the pressed keys
by a size of 120 bytes, organized as queue.
* There is one more common system buffer on 120 "hotkeys".
* If the application with the inactive window calls this function,
the buffer of the pressed keys is considered to be empty.
* By default this function returns ASCII-codes; to switch
to the scancodes mode (and back) use function 66.
However, hotkeys are always notificated as scancodes.
* To find out, what keys correspond to what codes, start
the application keyascii and scancode.
* Scancodes come directly from keyboard and are fixed;
ASCII-codes turn out with usage of the conversion tables,
which can be set by subfunction 2 of function 21
and get by subfunction 2 of function 26.
* As a consequence, ASCII-codes take into account current
keyboard layout (en, fi, etc) as opposed to scancodes.
* This function notifies only about those hotkeys, which were
defined by this thread by subfunction 4 of function 66.

eax - SF_GET_KEY (2)
======================================================================
==================== Function 3 - get system time. ===================
======================================================================
Parameters:
* eax = 3 - function number
Returned value:
* eax = 0x00SSMMHH, where HH:MM:SS = Hours:Minutes:Seconds
* each item is BCD-number, for example,
for time 23:59:59 function returns 0x00595923
Remarks:
* See also subfunction 9 of function 26 - get time from
the moment of start of the system; it is more convenient, because
returns simply DWORD-value of the time counter.
* System time can be set by function 22.
---------------------- Constants for registers: ----------------------
eax - SF_GET_SYS_TIME (3)
======================================================================
=================== Function 4 - draw text string. ===================
======================================================================
Parameters:
* eax = 4 - function number
* ebx = X*65536+Y, coordinates in the window or buffer
* ecx = 0xXXRRGGBB, where
* RR, GG, BB specify text color
* XX = ABFFCSSS (bits):
* A=1 - output zero terminated string
* B=1 - fill background (color = edi)
* FF specifies the font and encoding:
0 = 6x9 cp866
1 = 8x16 cp866
2 = 8x16 UTF-16LE
3 = 8x16 UTF-8
* C=0 - draw to the window,
C=1 - draw to the user buffer (edi)
* SSS = (size multiplier)-1, so 0 = x1, 7 = x8
* edx = pointer to the beginning of the string
* esi = for A=0 length of the string, for A=1 is ignored
* edi = for B=1 color to fill background,
for C=1 pointer to user buffer
Returned value:
* function does not return value
Remarks:
* You can not use B=1 and C=1 at the same time, since both use edi.
* When SSS=0, font may be smoothed, depending on system setting.
* User buffer structure:
Xsize dd
Ysize dd
picture rb Xsize*Ysize*4 ; 32 bpp
---------------------- Constants for registers: ----------------------
eax - SF_DRAW_TEXT (4)
======================================================================
========================= Function 5 - delay. ========================
======================================================================
Delays execution of the program on the given time.
Parameters:
* eax = 5 - function number
* ebx = time in the 1/100 of second
Returned value:
* function does not return value
Remarks:
* Passing ebx=0 does not transfer control to the next process
and does not make any operations at all. If it is really required
to transfer control to the next process (to complete a current
time slice), use subfunction 1 of function 68.

* ecx = [size on axis x]*65536 + [size on axis y]
* edx = [coordinate on axis x]*65536 + [coordinate on axis y]
Returned value:
* function does not return value
Remarks:
* Coordinates of the image are coordinates of the upper left corner
of the image relative to the window.

---------------------- Constants for registers: ----------------------
eax - SF_PUT_IMAGE (7)
======================================================================
=============== Function 8 - define/delete the button. ===============
======================================================================
Parameters for button definition:
* eax = 8 - function number
* ebx = [coordinate on axis x]*65536 + [size on axis x]
* ecx = [coordinate on axis y]*65536 + [size on axis y]
* edx = 0xXYnnnnnn, where:
* nnnnnn = identifier of the button
* high (31st) bit of edx is cleared
* if 30th bit of edx is set - do not draw the button
* if 29th bit of edx is set - do not draw a frame
at pressing the button
* esi = 0x00RRGGBB - color of the button
Parameters for button deleting:
* eax = 8 - function number
* edx = 0x80nnnnnn, where nnnnnn - identifier of the button
Returned value:
* function does not return value
Remarks:
* Sizes of the button must be more than 0 and less than 0x8000.
* For skinned windows definition of the window
(call of 0th function) creates two standard buttons -
for close of the window with identifier 1 and
for minimize of the window with identifier 0xffff.
* The creation of two buttons with same identifiers is admitted.
* The button with the identifier 0xffff at pressing is interpreted
by the system as the button of minimization, the system handles
such pressing independently, not accessing to the application.
In rest it is usual button.
* Total number of buttons for all applications is limited to 4095.
---------------------- Constants for registers: ----------------------
eax - SF_DEFINE_BUTTON (8)
======================================================================
============ Function 9 - information on execution thread. ===========
======================================================================
Parameters:
* eax = 9 - function number
* ebx = pointer to 1-Kb buffer
* ecx = number of the slot of the thread
ecx = -1 - get information on the current thread
Returned value:
* eax = maximum number of the slot of a thread
but if pointer in ebx is illegal, for example,
[ebx, ebx + 0x4C) region intersects with kernel memory,
then function returns -1
* buffer pointed to by ebx contains the following information:
* +0: dword: usage of the processor (how many time units
per second leaves on execution of this thread)
* +4: word: position of the window of thread in the window stack
* +6: word: (has no relation to the specified thread)
number of the thread slot, which window has in the window stack
position ecx
* +8: word: reserved
* +10 = +0xA: 11 bytes: name of the process
(name of the started file - executable file without extension)
* +21 = +0x15: byte: reserved, this byte is not changed
* +22 = +0x16: dword: address of the process in memory
* +26 = +0x1A: dword: size of used memory - 1
* +30 = +0x1E: dword: identifier (PID/TID)
* +34 = +0x22: dword: coordinate of the thread window on axis x
* +38 = +0x26: dword: coordinate of the thread window on axis y
* +42 = +0x2A: dword: size of the thread window on axis x
* +46 = +0x2E: dword: size of the thread window on axis y
* +50 = +0x32: word: status of the thread slot:
* 0 = thread is running
* 1 = thread is suspended
* 2 = thread is suspended while waiting for event
* 3 = thread is terminating as a result of call to function -1
or under duress as a result of call to subfunction 2
of function 18 or termination of the system
* 4 = thread is terminating as a result of exception
* 5 = thread waits for event
* 9 = requested slot is free, all other information on the slot
is not meaningful
* +52 = +0x34: word: reserved, this word is not changed
* +54 = +0x36: dword: coordinate of the client area on axis x
* +58 = +0x3A: dword: coordinate of the client area on axis y
* +62 = +0x3E: dword: width of the client area
* +66 = +0x42: dword: height of the client area
* +70 = +0x46: byte: state of the window - bitfield
* bit 0 (mask 1): window is maximized
* bit 1 (mask 2): window is minimized to panel
* bit 2 (mask 4): window is rolled up
* +71 = +0x47: dword: event mask
* +75 = +0x4B: byte: keyboard mode(ASCII = 0; SCAN = 1)
Remarks:
* Slots are numbered starting from 1.
* Returned value is not a total number of threads, because there
can be free slots.
* When process is starting, system automatically creates
execution thread.
* Function gives information on the thread. Each process has
at least one thread. One process can create many threads,
in this case each thread has its own slot and the fields
+10, +22, +26 in these slots coincide.
Applications have no common way to define whether two threads
belong to one process.
* The active window - window on top of the window stack -
receives the messages on a keyboard input. For such window
the position in the window stack coincides with returned value.
* Slot 1 corresponds to special system thread, for which:
* the window is in the bottom of the window stack, the fields
+4 and +6 contain value 1
* name of the process - "IDLE" (supplemented by spaces)
* address of the process in memory is 0, size of used memory is
16 Mb (0x1000000)
* PID=1
* coordinates and sizes of the window and the client area are by
convention set to 0
* status of the slot is always 0 (running)
* the execution time adds of time leaving on operations itself
and idle time in waiting for interrupt (which can be got by call
to subfunction 4 of function 18).
* Slot 2 (and some others) correspond to system threads, for which:
* name of the thread - "OS" (supplemented by spaces)
* The normal applications are placed in memory at the address
0 (kernel constant 'std_application_base_address').
There is no intersection, as each process has its own page table.
* At creation of the thread it is assigned the slot
in the system table and identifier (Process/Thread IDentifier =
PID/TID), which do not vary with time for given thread.
After completion of the thread its slot can be anew used
for another thread. The thread identifier can not be assigned
to other thread even after completion of this thread.
Identifiers, assigned to new threads, grow monotonously.
* If the thread has not yet defined the window by call to
function 0, the position and the sizes
of its window are considered to be zero.
* Coordinates of the client area are relative to the window.
* At the moment only the part of the buffer by a size
76 = 0x4C bytes is used. Nevertheless it is recommended to use
1-Kb buffer for the future compatibility, in the future
some fields can be added.

* eax = 18 - function number
* ebx = 11 - subfunction number
* ecx = type of the table:
* 1 = short version, 16 bytes
* edx = pointer to the buffer (in the application) for the table
Returned value:
* function does not return value
Format of the table: short version:
* +0: byte: information about FDD's (drives for floppies),
AAAABBBB, where AAAA gives type of the first drive, BBBB -
of the second regarding to the following list:
* 0 = there is no drive
* 1 = 360Kb, 5.25''
* 2 = 1.2Mb, 5.25''
* 3 = 720Kb, 3.5''
* 4 = 1.44Mb, 3.5''
* 5 = 2.88Mb, 3.5'' (such drives are not used anymore)
For example, for the standard configuration from one 1.44-drive
here will be 40h, and for the case 1.2Mb on A: and 1.44Mb on B:
the value is 24h.
First IDE controller:
* +1: byte: information about hard disks and CD-drives, AABBCCDD,
where AA corresponds to the controller IDE0, ..., DD - IDE3:
* 0 = device not found
* 1 = hard drive
* 2 = CD-drive
For example, in the case HD on IDE0 and CD on IDE2
this field contains 48h.
* +2: 4 db: number of the retrieved partitions on hard disks
at accordingly IDE0,...,IDE3.
Second IDE controller:
* +6: byte: information about hard disks and CD-drives, AABBCCDD,
where AA corresponds to the controller IDE4, ..., DD - IDE7:
* 0 = device not found
* 1 = hard drive
* 2 = CD-drive
For example, in the case HD on IDE4 and CD on IDE6
this field contains 48h.
* +7: 4 db: number of the retrieved partitions on hard disks
at accordingly IDE4,...,IDE7.
Third IDE controller:
* +11: byte: information about hard disks and CD-drives, AABBCCDD,
where AA corresponds to the controller IDE8, ..., DD - IDE11:
* 0 = device not found
* 1 = hard drive
* 2 = CD-drive
For example, in the case HD on IDE8 and CD on IDE10
this field contains 48h.
* +12: 4 db: number of the retrieved partitions on hard disks
at accordingly IDE8,...,IDE11.
If the hard disk on IDEx is absent, appropriate byte is zero,
otherwise it shows number of the recognized partitions, which
can be not presented (if the drive is not formatted or if
the file system is not supported). Current version of the kernel
supports only FAT12/16/32, NTFS, ext2/3/4 and XFS for hard disks.
Remarks:
* The table can be used for obtaining the information about
available devices.

* ecx = 0x00SSMMHH
Returned value:
* eax = 0 - success
* eax = 1 - incorrect parameter
* eax = 2 - CMOS-battery was unloaded
Remarks:
* Value of installation of day of week seems to be doubtful,
as it a little where is used
(day of week can be calculated by date).
* Alarm clock can be set on operation in the given time every day.
But there is no existing system function to disable it.
* Operation of alarm clock consists in generation IRQ8.
* Generally CMOS supports for alarm clock set of value 0xFF
as one of parameters and it means that the appropriate parameter
is ignored. But current implementation does not allow this
(will return 1).
* Alarm clock is a global system resource; the set of
an alarm clock cancels automatically the previous set.
However, at moment no program uses it.

* ebx = timeout (in 1/100 of second)
Returned value:
* eax = 0 - the message queue is empty
* otherwise eax = event (see the list of events)
Remarks:
* Only those events are taken into account, which enter into
the mask set by function 40. By default it is
redraw, key and button events.
* To check for presence of a message in the queue use function 11.

Parameters:
* eax = 48 - function number
* ebx = 3 - subfunction number
* ecx = pointer to the buffer with size edx bytes,
where table will be written
* edx = size of color table
(must be 40 bytes for future compatibility)
Returned value:
* function does not return value
Format of the color table:
each item is dword-value for color 0x00RRGGBB
* +0: dword: none - reserved
* +4: dword: none - reserved
* +8: dword: work_dark - dark color of working area
used to give a user 3D-like feelings about interface elements
* +12 = +0xC: dword: work_light - light color of working area
used to give a user 3D-like feelings about interface elements
* +16 = +0x10: dword: grab_text - color of text on header
* +20 = +0x14: dword: work - color of working area
* +24 = +0x18: dword: button - color of button in working area
* +28 = +0x1C: dword: button_text - color of text on button
in working area
* +32 = +0x20: dword: work_text - color of text in working area
* +36 = +0x24: dword: graph - color of graphics in working area
Remarks:
* Structure of the color table is described in the standard
include file 'macros.inc' as 'system_colors'; for example,
it is possible to write:
sc system_colors ; variable declaration
... ; somewhere one must call
; this function with ecx=sc
mov ecx, [sc.work_button_text] ; read text color on
; button in working area
* A program itself decides to use or not to use color table.
For usage program must simply at calls to drawing functions select
color taken from the table.
* At change of the table of standard colors (by subfunction 2 with
the subsequent application of changes by subfunction 0 or
at skin set by subfunction 8) the system sends to all windows
redraw message (the event with code 1).
* Color table can be viewed/changed interactively with
the application 'desktop'.

=================== Function 50 - set window shape. ==================
======================================================================
Normal windows have rectangular shape. This function can give to
a window any shape. The shape is given by a set of points inside
the base rectangle belonging to a window. Position and coordinates
of the base rectangle are set by function 0
and changed by function 67.
--------------------------- Set shape data ---------------------------
Parameters:
* eax = 50 - function number
* ebx = 0 - subfunction number
* ecx = pointer to shape data (array of bytes 0/1)
Returned value:
* function does not return value
-------------------------- Set shape scale ---------------------------
Parameters:
* eax = 50 - function number
* ebx = 1 - subfunction number
* ecx sets a scale: each byte of data defines
(2^scale)*(2^scale) pixels
Returned value:
* function does not return value
Remarks:
* Default scale is 0 (scale factor is 1). If in the shape data
one byte corresponds to one pixel, there is no necessity
to set scale.
* Let's designate xsize = window width (in pixels), ysize = height;
pay attention, that they are one pixel more than defined by
functions 0, 67.
* On definition of scale xsize and ysize must be divisible
on 2^scale.
* Byte of data on offset 'a' must be 0/1 and defines belonging
to a window of square with the side 2^scale (if scale=0,
this is one pixel) and coordinates of the left upper corner
(a mod (xsize shr scale), a div (xsize shr scale))
* Data size: (xsize shr scale)*(ysize shr scale).
* Data must be presented in the memory and not change
after set of shape.
* The system views the shape data at every window redraw by
function 0.
* The call of subfunction 0 with NULL pointer results in return
to the rectangular shape.

is defined by immediate value of frequency
* following word (2 bytes) contains frequency divider;
frequency is defined as 1193180/divider
* 0x81 = invalid
* 0x82..0xFF = note is defined by octave and number:
* duration in 1/100 of second = (first byte)-0x81

----------- Subfunction 1 - set the area for IPC receiving -----------
Is called by process-receiver.
Parameters:
* eax = 60 - function number
* ebx = 1 - subfunction number
* ecx = pointer to the buffer
* edx = size of the buffer
Returned value:
* eax = 0 - always success

lock/unlock the buffer, when you work with it and need that
buffer data are not changed from outside (no new messages)
* +4: dword: occupied place in the buffer (in bytes)
* +8: first message
* +8+n: second message
* ...
Format of a message:
* +0: dword: PID of sender

(can be, still have no time,
and can be, this is not right process)
* eax = 2 - the receiver has blocked IPC-buffer; try to wait a bit
* eax = 3 - overflow of IPC-buffer of the receiver
* eax = 4 - process/thread with such PID does not exist
Remarks:

==== Function 61 - get parameters for the direct graphics access. ====
======================================================================
The data of the graphics screen (the memory area which displays
screen contents) are accessible to a program directly, without
any system calls, through the selector gs:
mov eax, [gs:0]
places in eax the first dword of the buffer, which contains
information on color of the left upper point (and, possibly, colors
of several following).
mov [gs:0], eax
by work in VESA modes with LFB sets color of the left upper point
(and, possibly, colors of several following).
To interpret the data of graphics screen program needs to know
some parameters, returning by this function.
Remarks:
* Graphics parameters changes very seldom at work.
* At videomode change the system redraws all windows (event
with code 1) and redraws the background (event 5).
Same events occur in other cases too, which meet much more often,
than videomode change.
* By operation in videomodes with LFB the selector gs points to
LFB itself, so reading/writing on gs result directly in
change of screen contents. By operation in videomodes without
LFB gs points to some data area in the kernel, and all functions
of screen output fulfil honesty double operation on writing
directly to the screen and writing to this buffer. In result
at reading contents of this buffer the results correspond to
screen contents (with, generally speaking, large color
resolution), and writing is ignored.
One exception is the mode 320*200, for which main loop of the
system thread updates the screen according to mouse movements.
------------------------- Screen resolution --------------------------
Parameters:
* eax = 61 - function number
* ebx = 1 - subfunction number
Returned value:
* eax = [resolution on x axis]*65536 + [resolution on y axis]
Remarks:
* One can use function 14 paying attention that
it returns sizes on 1 pixel less. It is fully equivalent way.
---------------------- Number of bits per pixel ----------------------
Parameters:
* eax = 61 - function number
* ebx = 2 - subfunction number
Returned value:
* eax = number of bits per pixel (24 or 32)

============== Function 63 - work with the debug board. ==============
======================================================================
The debug board is the global system buffer (with the size
1024 bytes), to which any program can write (generally speaking,
arbitrary) data and from which other program can read these data.
By the agreement written data are text strings interpreted as
debug messages on a course of program execution. The kernel in
some situations also writes to the debug board information on
execution of some functions; by the agreement kernel messages
begins from the prefix "K : ".
For view of the debug board the application 'board' was created,
which reads data from the buffer and displays them in its window.
'board' interpretes the sequence of codes 13,10 as newline.
A character with null code in an end of line is not necessary,
but also does not prevent.
Because debugger has been written, the value of the debug board
has decreased, as debugger allows to inspect completely a course of
program execution without any efforts from the direction of program
itself. Nevertheless in some cases the debug board is still useful.
----------------------------- Write byte -----------------------------
Parameters:
* eax = 63 - function number
* ebx = 1 - subfunction number
* cl = data byte
Returned value:
* function does not return value
Remarks:
* Byte is written to the buffer. Buffer size is 512 bytes.
At buffer overflow all obtained data are lost.
* For output to the debug board of more complicated objects
(strings, numbers) it is enough to call this function in cycle.
It is possible not to write the appropriate code manually and use
file 'debug.inc', which is included into the distributive.
----------------------------- Read byte ------------------------------
Takes away byte from the buffer.
Parameters:
* eax = 63 - function number
* ebx = 2 - subfunction number
Returned value:
* eax = ebx = 0 - the buffer is empty
* eax = byte, ebx = 1 - byte was successfully read

* ebx = 1 - unique subfunction
* ecx = new memory size
Returned value:
* eax = 0 - success
* eax = 1 - not enough memory
Remarks:
* There is another way to dynamically allocate/free memory -
subfunctions 12, 13 and 20 of function 68, but after creation
of the process heap 64 function call will be ignored.
* The function cannot be used together with 68.11, 68.12, 68.13.
The function call will be ignored after creation of process heap
with function 68.11.

Returned value:
* function does not return value
Remarks:
* Coordinates of the image are coordinates of the upper left corner
of the image relative to the window.
* Format of image with 1 bit per pixel: each byte of image
(possibly excluding last bytes in rows), contains information on
the color of 8 pixels, MSB corresponds to first pixel.
* Format of image with 2 bits per pixel: each byte of image
(possibly excluding last bytes in rows), contains information on
the color of 4 pixels, two MSBs correspond to first pixel.
* Format of image with 4 bits per pixel: each byte of image
excluding last bytes in rows (if width is odd) contains
information on the color of 2 pixels, high-order tetrad
corresponds to first pixel.
* Format of image with 8 bits per pixel: each byte of image is
index in the palette.
* Format of image with 9 bits per pixel: array of one byte values;
each byte (8 bit) represents the intensity of gray for one pixel;
this format is equal to 8bpp without palette.
* Format of image with 15 bits per pixel: the color of each pixel
is coded as (bit representation) 0RRRRRGGGGGBBBBB - 5 bits per
each color.
* Format of image with 16 bits per pixel: the color of each pixel
is coded as RRRRRGGGGGGBBBBB (5+6+5).
* Format of image with 24 bits per pixel: the color of each pixel
is coded as 3 bytes - sequentially blue, green, red components.
* Format of image with 32 bits per pixel: similar to 24, but
one additional ignored byte is present. It's format is BGRX,
where X is the ignored byte.
* The call to function 7 is equivalent to call to this function
with esi=24, ebp=0.

================== Function 66 - work with keyboard. =================
======================================================================
The input mode influences results of reading keys by function 2.
When a program loads, ASCII input mode is set for it.
-------------- Subfunction 1 - set keyboard input mode. --------------
Parameters:
* eax = 66 - function number
* ebx = 1 - subfunction number
* ecx = mode:
* 0 = normal (ASCII-characters)
* 1 = scancodes
Returned value:
* function does not return value
-------------- Subfunction 2 - get keyboard input mode. --------------
Parameters:
* eax = 66 - function number
* ebx = 2 - subfunction number
Returned value:
* eax = current mode
------------ Subfunction 3 - get status of control keys. -------------
Parameters:
* eax = 66 - function number
* ebx = 3 - subfunction number
Returned value:
* eax = bit mask:
* bit 0 (mask 1): left Shift is pressed
* bit 1 (mask 2): right Shift is pressed
* bit 2 (mask 4): left Ctrl is pressed
* bit 3 (mask 8): right Ctrl is pressed
* bit 4 (mask 0x10): left Alt is pressed
* bit 5 (mask 0x20): right Alt is pressed
* bit 6 (mask 0x40): CapsLock is on
* bit 7 (mask 0x80): NumLock is on
* bit 8 (mask 0x100): ScrollLock is on
* bit 9 (mask 0x200): left Win is pressed
* bit 10 (mask 0x400): right Win is pressed
* other bits are cleared
-------------- Subfunction 4 - set system-wide hotkey. ---------------
When hotkey is pressed, the system notifies only those applications,
which have installed it; the active application (which receives
all normal input) does not receive such keys.
The notification consists in sending event with the code 2.
Reading hotkey is the same as reading normal key - by function 2.
Parameters:
* eax = 66 - function number
* ebx = 4 - subfunction number
* cl determines key scancode;
use cl=0 to give combinations such as Ctrl+Shift
* edx = 0xXYZ determines possible states of control keys:
* Z (low 4 bits) determines state of LShift and RShift:
* 0 = no key must be pressed;
* 1 = exactly one key must be pressed;
* 2 = both keys must be pressed;
* 3 = must be pressed LShift, but not RShift;
* 4 = must be pressed RShift, but not LShift
* Y - similar for LCtrl and RCtrl;
* X - similar for LAlt and RAlt
Returned value:
* eax=0 - success
* eax=1 - too many hotkeys (maximum 256 are allowed)
Remarks:
* Hotkey can work either at pressing or at release. Release
scancode of a key is more on 128 than pressing scancode
(i.e. high bit is set).
* Several applications can set the same combination;
all such applications will be informed on pressing
such combination.
-------------- Subfunction 5 - delete installed hotkey. --------------
Parameters:
* eax = 66 - function number
* ebx = 5 - subfunction number
* cl = scancode of key and edx = 0xXYZ the same as in subfunction 4
Returned value:
* eax = 0 - success
* eax = 1 - there is no such hotkey
Remarks:
* When a process/thread terminates, all hotkey installed by it are
deleted.
* The call to this subfunction does not affect other applications.
If other application has defined the same combination, it will
still receive notices.
--------------- Subfunction 6 - block the normal input. --------------
Parameters:
* eax = 66 - function number
* ebx = 6 - subfunction number
Returned value:
* function does not return value
Remarks:
* Blocking the normal keyboard input for installed hotkeys
* To emulate a mouse via the keyboard, the application MOUSEMUL
------------ Subfunction 7 - unlock the normal input. ----------------
Parameters:
* eax = 66 - function number
* ebx = 7 - subfunction number
Returned value:
* function does not return value
Remarks:
* Unlocking the results of the f. 66.6
* To emulate a mouse via the keyboard, the application MOUSEMUL

* ebx = new x-coordinate of the window
* ecx = new y-coordinate of the window
* edx = new x-size of the window
* esi = new y-size of the window
Returned value:
* function does not return value
Remarks:
* The value -1 for a parameter means "do not change"; e.g. to move
the window without resizing it is possible to specify edx=esi=-1.
* Previously the window must be defined by function 0.
It sets initial coordinates and sizes of the window.
* Sizes of the window are understood in sense of function 0,
that is one pixel less than real sizes.
* The function call for maximized windows is simply ignored.
* For windows of appropriate styles position and/or sizes can be
changed by user; current position and sizes can be obtained by
call to function 9.
* The function sends to the window redraw event (with the code 1).

======== Function 68, subfunction 24 - set exception handler. ========
======================================================================
Parameters:
* eax = 68 - function number
* ebx = 24 - subfunction number
* ecx = address of the new exception handler
* edx = the mask of handled exceptions
Returned value:
* eax = address of the old exception handler (0, if it was not set)
* ebx = the old mask of handled exceptions
Remarks:
* Bit number in mask of exceptions corresponds to exception number
in CPU-specification (Intel-PC). For example, FPU exceptions have
number 16 (#MF), and SSE exceptions - 19 (#XF).
* The current implementation ignores the inquiry for hook of 7
exception - the system handles #NM by its own.
* The exception handler is called with exception number as first
(and only) stack parameter. So, correct exit from the handler is
RET 4. It returns to the instruction, that caused the exception,
for faults, and to the next instruction for traps (see
classification of exceptions in CPU specification).
* When user handler receives control, the corresponding bit in
the exception mask is cleared. Raising this exception
in consequence leads to default handling, that is,
terminating the application in absence of debugger or
suspend with notification of debugger otherwise.
* After user handler completes critical operations, it can set
the corresponding bit in the exception mask with subfunction 25.
Also user handler is responsible for clearing exceptions flags in
FPU and/or SSE.

Returned value:
* eax = -1 - invalid signal number
* otherwise eax = old value of activity for this signal (0/1)
Remarks:
* In current implementation only mask for user exception handler,
which has been previously set by subfunction 24,
is changed. Signal number corresponds to exception number.

=========== Function 68, subfunction 31 - get driver data. ===========
======================================================================
Driver structures are organized into a doubly linked list. Its head is
a dummy structure with the forward and backward pointers only. Other
structures, if any, are as follows:
* +0: 16*byte: driver name, ASCIIZ
* +16 = +0x10: dword: pointer to the next driver structure
* +20 = +0x14: dword: pointer to the previous driver structure
* +24 = +0x18: dword: driver's base address
* +28 = +0x1C: dword: driver's entry point address
* +32 = +0x20: dword: driver's service handler address
-------------- Subsubfunction 1 - get driver list head. --------------
Parameters:
* eax = 68 - function number
* ebx = 31 - subfunction number
* ecx = 1 - subsubfunction number
Returned value:
* ebx = pointer to the next driver structure
* ecx = pointer to the previous driver structure
--------- Subsubfunction 2 - get driver list item by pointer. --------
Parameters:
* eax = 68 - function number
* ebx = 31 - subfunction number
* ecx = 2 - subsubfunction number

======================================================================
====================== Function 69 - debugging. ======================
======================================================================
A process can load other process as debugged by set of corresponding
bit by call to subfunction 7 of function 70.
A process can have only one debugger; one process can debug some
others. The system notifies debugger on events occurring with
debugged process. Messages are written to the buffer defined by
subfunction 0.
Format of a message:
* +0: dword: message code
* +4: dword: PID of debugged process
* +8: there can be additional data depending on message code
Message codes:
* 1 = exception
* in addition dword-number of the exception is given
* process is suspended
* 2 = process has terminated
* comes at any termination: both through the system function -1,
and at "murder" by any other process (including debugger itself)
* 3 = debug exception int 1 = #DB
* in addition dword-image of the register DR6 is given:
* bits 0-3: condition of the corresponding breakpoint (set by
subfunction 9) is satisfied
* bit 14: exception has occurred because of the trace mode
(flag TF is set TF)
* process is suspended
When debugger terminates, all debugged processes are killed.
If debugger does not want this, it must previously detach by
subfunction 3.
All subfunctions are applicable only to processes/threads started
from the current by function 70 with set debugging flag.
Debugging of multithreaded programs is not supported yet.
The full list of subfunctions:
* subfunction 0 - define data area for debug messages
* subfunction 1 - get contents of registers of debugged thread
* subfunction 2 - set contents of registers of debugged thread
* subfunction 3 - detach from debugged process
* subfunction 4 - suspend debugged thread
* subfunction 5 - resume debugged thread
* subfunction 6 - read from the memory of debugged process
* subfunction 7 - write to the memory of debugged process
* subfunction 8 - terminate debugged thread
* subfunction 9 - set/clear hardware breakpoint

==== Function 70 - work with file system with long names support. ====
======================================================================
Parameters:
* eax = 70
* ebx = pointer to the information structure
Returned value:
* eax = 0 - success; otherwise file system error code
* some subfunctions return value in other registers too
General format of the information structure:
* +0: dword: subfunction number
* +4: dword: offset in file or folder
* +8: dword: higher part of offset or flags
* +12 = +0xC: dword: size of data
* +16 = +0x10: dword: pointer to data
* +20 = +0x14: ?: path - zero terminated string
or
* +20 = +0x14: byte: 0
* +21 = +0x15: dword: pointer to string
Case sensitivity depends on filesystem.
If a path not begins with '/', it is considered a relative.
To get or set the current folder, use the sysfunction 30.
'../' in the path means a lift by one folder relatively current folder.
To set the encoding, put at the start of the string a byte with next values:
* 1 = cp866
* 2 = UTF-16LE
* 3 = UTF-8
otherwise will be used cp866. In an absolute path
you may put this byte after the '/' or put an additional '/' before it.
Also, you may use the sysfunction 80.
Format of an absolute path:
/base/number/dir1/dir2/.../dirn/file,
where base/number identifies device, on which file is located:
* RD/1 = ramdisk
* FD/1 = first floppy drive,
FD/2 = second floppy drive
* HD0/x, HD1/x, HD2/x, HD3/x = hard drives accordingly on
IDE0 (Primary Master), IDE1 (Primary Slave),
IDE2 (Secondary Master), IDE3 (Secondary Slave);
x - partition number on the selected hard drive, starts from 1
* CD0/1, CD1/1, CD2/1, CD3/1 = same for cd
* SYS = system folder (encoding inaffected key),
second key may be set by sysfunction 30.3.
Examples:
* '/sys/example.asm',0
* '/rd/1/example.asm',0
* '/HD0/1/folder/file.txt',0
* '/hd2/2/pics/tanzania.bmp',0
* 2,'/',0,'sys','/',0,'F',0,'I',0,'L',0,'E',0,0,0
Available subfunctions:
* subfunction 0 - read file
* subfunction 1 - read folder
* subfunction 2 - create/rewrite file
* subfunction 3 - write to existing file
* subfunction 4 - set file size
* subfunction 5 - get attributes of file/folder
* subfunction 6 - set attributes of file/folder
* subfunction 7 - start application
* subfunction 8 - delete file/folder
* subfunction 9 - create folder
For CD-drives due to hardware limitations only subfunctions
0,1,5 and 7 are available, other subfunctions return error
with code 2.
At the first call of subfunctions 0,1,5,7 to ATAPI devices
(CD and DVD) the manual control of tray is locked due to caching
drive data. Unlocking is made when subfunction 4 of function 24
is called for corresponding device.

Format of the information structure:
* +0: dword: 1 = subfunction number
* +4: dword: index of starting block (beginning from 0)

* ...
Structure of header:
* +0: dword: version of structure (current is 1)
* +4: dword: number of placed blocks; is not greater than requested
in the field +12 of information structure; can be less, if
there are no more files in folder (the same as in ebx)
* +8: dword: total number of files in folder
* +12 = +0xC: 20*byte: reserved (zeroed)
Structure of block of data for folder entry (BDFE):
* +0: dword: attributes of file:
* bit 0 (mask 1): file is read-only
* bit 1 (mask 2): file is hidden
* bit 2 (mask 4): file is system
* bit 3 (mask 8): this is the volume label (using by subfunction 5)
* bit 4 (mask 0x10): this is a folder
* bit 5 (mask 0x20): file was not archived - many archivation
programs have an option to archive only files with this bit set,
and after archiving this bit is cleared - it can be useful
for automatically creating of backup-archives as at writing
this bit is usually set
* +4: dword: encoding, equals to field +8 in the information structure
* +8: 4*byte: time of file creation
* +12 = +0xC: 4*byte: date of file creation

* for example, 23.59.59 is written as (in hex) 3B 3B 17 00
Date format:
* +0: byte: day
* +1: byte: month
* +2: word: year
* for example, 25.11.1979 is written as (in hex) 19 0B BB 07
Some file systems start the date from 01.01.1980,
for example: FAT12/16/32 and exFAT
Remarks:
* If BDFE contains cp866 name, the length of BDFE is 304 bytes,
otherwise - 560 bytes.
* Name string is zero terminated, further data contain garbage.
* If files in folder were ended before requested number was read,
the function will read as many as it can, and after that return
eax=6 (EOF).
* Any folder on the disk, except for root, contains two special
entries "." and "..", identifying accordingly the folder itself
and the parent folder.
* The function allows also to read virtual folders "/", "/rd",
"/fd", "/hd[n]", thus attributes of subfolders are set to 0x10,
and times and dates are zeroed. An alternative way to get the
equipment information - subfunction 11 of function 18.

========== Function 77, Subfunction 0, Create futex object ===========
======================================================================
Parameters:
* eax = 77 - function number
* ebx = 0 - subfunction number
* ecx = pointer to futex dword
Returned value:
* eax = futex handle, 0 on error
Remarks:
* Use subfunction 1 to destroy the futex.
The kernel destroys the futexes automatically when the process
terminates.
---------------------- Constants for registers: ----------------------
eax - SF_FUTEX (77)
ebx - SSF_CREATE (0)
======================================================================
========= Function 77, Subfunction 1, Destroy futex object ===========
======================================================================
Parameters:
* eax = 77 - function number
* ebx = 1 - subfunction number
* ecx = futex handle
Returned value:
* eax = 0 - successfull, -1 on error
Remarks:
* The futex handle must have been created by subfunction 0
---------------------- Constants for registers: ----------------------
eax - SF_FUTEX (77)
ebx - SSF_DESTROY (1)
======================================================================
=============== Function 77, Subfunction 2, Futex wait ===============
======================================================================
Parameters:
* eax = 77 - function number
* ebx = 2 - subfunction number
* ecx = futex handle
* edx = control value
* esi = timeout in system ticks or 0 for infinity
Returned value:
* eax = 0 - successfull
-1 - timeout
-2 - futex dword does not have the same value as edx
Remarks:
* This functionn tests that the value at the futex dword still
contains the expected control value, and if so, then sleeps
waiting for a wake operation on the futex.
* The futex handle must have been created by subfunction 0
---------------------- Constants for registers: ----------------------
eax - SF_FUTEX (77)
ebx - SSF_WAIT (2)
======================================================================
=============== Function 77, Subfunction 3, Futex wake ===============
======================================================================
Parameters:
* eax = 77 - function number
* ebx = 3 - subfunction number
* ecx = futex handle
* edx = number of waiters to wake
Returned value:
* eax = number of waiters that were woken up
Remarks:
* This function wakes at most edx of the waiters that are
waiting (e.g., inside futex wait) on the futex dword
* The futex handle must have been created by subfunction 0
---------------------- Constants for registers: ----------------------
eax - SF_FUTEX (77)
ebx - SSF_WAKE (3)
======================================================================
=== Function 80 - file system interface with parameter of encoding ===
======================================================================
Parameters:
* eax = 80
* ebx = pointer to the information structure
Returned value:
* eax = 0 - success; otherwise file system error code
* some subfunctions return value in other registers too
General format of the information structure:
* +0: dword: subfunction number
* +4: dword: offset in file or folder
* +8: dword: higher part of offset or flags
* +12 = +0xC: dword: size of data
* +16 = +0x10: dword: pointer to data
* +20 = +0x14: dword: string encoding:
1 = cp866
2 = UTF-16LE
3 = UTF-8
0 = default (supports encoding byte at the start of the string)
* +24 = +0x18: dword: pointer to zero terminated string with path
The rest is similar to sysfunction 70.
======================================================================
=============== Function -1 - terminate thread/process ===============
======================================================================
Parameters:
* eax = -1 - function number
Returned value:
* function does not return neither value nor control
Remarks:
* If the process did not create threads obviously, it has only
one thread, which termination results in process termination.
* If the current thread is last in the process, its termination
also results in process terminates.
* This function terminates the current thread. Other thread can be
killed by call to subfunction 2 of function 18.

=========================== List of events ===========================
======================================================================
Next event can be retrieved by the call of one from functions 10
(to wait for event), 11 (to check without waiting), 23
(to wait during the given time).
These functions return only those events, which enter into a mask set
by function 40. By default it is first three,
there is enough for most applications.
Codes of events:
* 1 = redraw event (is reset by call to function 0)
* 2 = key on keyboard is pressed (acts, only when the window is
active) or hotkey is pressed; is reset, when all keys from
the buffer are read out by function 2
* 3 = button is pressed, defined earlier by function 8
(or close button, created implicitly by function 0;
minimize button is handled by the system and sends no message;
acts, only when the window is active;
is reset when all buttons from the buffer
are read out by function 17)
* 4 = reserved (in current implementation never comes even after
unmasking by function 40)
* 5 = kernel finished redrawing of the desktop background
* 6 = mouse event (something happened - button pressing or moving;
is reset at reading)
* 7 = IPC event (see function 60 -
Inter Process Communication; is reset at reading)
* 8 = network event (is reset at reading)
* 9 = debug event (is reset at reading; see
debug subsystem)
* 16..31 = event with appropriate IRQ
(16=IRQ0, 31=IRQ15) (is reset after reading all IRQ data)
======================================================================
=================== Error codes of the file system ===================
======================================================================
* 0 = success
* 2 = function is not supported for the given file system
* 3 = unknown file system
* 5 = file not found
* 6 = end of file, EOF
* 7 = pointer lies outside of application memory
* 8 = disk is full
* 9 = file system error
* 10 = access denied
* 11 = device error
* 12 = file system requires more memory
Application start functions can return also following errors:
* 30 = 0x1E = not enough memory
* 31 = 0x1F = file is not executable
* 32 = 0x20 = too many processes
