SYSTEM FUNCTIONS of OS Kolibri 0.7.5.0
|
||
|
||
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=0 - type I - fixed-size window
|
||
* Y=1 - only define window area, draw nothing
|
||
* Y=2 - type II - variable-size window
|
||
* Y=3 - skinned window
|
||
* Y=4 - skinned fixed-size window
|
||
* other possible values (from 5 up 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=2)
|
||
* X = DCBA (bits)
|
||
* A = 1 - window has caption; for styles Y=3,4 caption string
|
||
must be passed in edi, for other styles use
|
||
subfunction 1 of function 71
|
||
* 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
|
||
* X defines a gradient of header: X=0 - no gradient,
|
||
X=8 - usual gradient,
|
||
for windows of a type II X=4 - negative gradient
|
||
* other values of X and Y are reserved
|
||
* edi = 0x00RRGGBB - color of the frame
|
||
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 sence 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 type I looks as follows:
|
||
* draw external frame of color indicated in edi, 1 pixel in width
|
||
* draw header - rectangle with the left upper corner (1,1) and
|
||
right lower (xsize-1,min(25,ysize)) color indicated in esi
|
||
(taking a gradient into account)
|
||
* if ysize>=26, fill the working area of the window -
|
||
rectangle with the left upper corner (1,21) and right lower
|
||
(xsize-1,ysize-1) (sizes (xsize-1)*(ysize-21)) with color
|
||
indicated in edx (taking a gradient into account)
|
||
* if A=1 and caption has been already set by subfunction 1
|
||
of function 71, it is drawn in the corresponding place of header
|
||
* The window of style Y=1 looks as follows:
|
||
* completely defined by the application
|
||
* The window of type II looks as follows:
|
||
* draw external frame of width 1 pixel with the "shaded" color
|
||
edi (all components of the color decrease twice)
|
||
* draw intermediate frame of width 3 pixels with color edi
|
||
* draw internal frame of width 1 pixel with the "shaded" color edi
|
||
* draw header - rectangle with the left upper corner (4,4)
|
||
and right lower (xsize-4,min(20,ysize)) color, indicated in esi
|
||
(taking a gradient into account)
|
||
* if ysize>=26, fill the working area of the window -
|
||
rectangle with the left upper corner (5,20) and right lower
|
||
(xsize-5,ysize-5) with color indicated in edx
|
||
(taking a gradient into account)
|
||
* if A=1 and caption has been already set by subfunction 1
|
||
of function 71, it is drawn in the corresponding place of header
|
||
* The skinned window 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
|
||
|
||
======================================================================
|
||
================ 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
|
||
|
||
======================================================================
|
||
============ 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, high word of eax is 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 (rus/en) as opposed to scancodes.
|
||
* This function notifies only about those hotkeys, which were
|
||
defined by this thread by subfunction 4 of function 66.
|
||
|
||
======================================================================
|
||
==================== 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.
|
||
|
||
======================================================================
|
||
============ Function 4 - draw text string in the window. ============
|
||
======================================================================
|
||
Parameters:
|
||
* eax = 4 - function number
|
||
* ebx = [coordinate on axis x]*65536 + [coordinate on axis y]
|
||
* ecx = 0xX0RRGGBB, where
|
||
* RR, GG, BB specify text color
|
||
* X=ABnn (bits):
|
||
* nn specifies the used font: 0=system monospaced,
|
||
1=system font of variable width
|
||
* A=0 - output esi characters, A=1 - output ASCIIZ-string
|
||
* B=1 - fill background with the color edi
|
||
* edx = pointer to the beginning of the string
|
||
* esi = for A=0 length of the string, must not exceed 255;
|
||
for A=1 is ignored
|
||
Returned value:
|
||
* function does not return value
|
||
Remarks:
|
||
* First system font is read out at loading from the file char.mt,
|
||
second - from char2.mt.
|
||
* Both fonts have height 9 pixels, width of the monospaced font
|
||
is equal to 6 pixels.
|
||
|
||
======================================================================
|
||
========================= 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.
|
||
|
||
======================================================================
|
||
============== Function 6 - read the file from ramdisk. ==============
|
||
======================================================================
|
||
Parameters:
|
||
* eax = 6 - function number
|
||
* ebx = pointer to the filename
|
||
* ecx = number of start block, beginning from 1;
|
||
ecx=0 - read from the beginning of the file (same as ecx=1)
|
||
* edx = number of blocks to read;
|
||
edx=0 - read one block (same as edx=1)
|
||
* esi = pointer to memory area for the data
|
||
Returned value:
|
||
* eax = file size in bytes, if the file was successfully read
|
||
* eax = -1, if the file was not found
|
||
Remarks:
|
||
* This function is out-of-date; function 70 allows
|
||
to fulfil the same operations with the extended possibilities.
|
||
* Block = 512 bytes.
|
||
* For reading all file you can specify the certainly large value
|
||
in edx, for example, edx = -1; but in this case be ready that
|
||
the program will "fall", if the file will appear too large and can
|
||
not be placed in the program memory.
|
||
* The filename must be either in the format 8+3 characters
|
||
(first 8 characters - name itself, last 3 - extension,
|
||
the short names and extensions are supplemented with spaces),
|
||
or in the format 8.3 characters "FILE.EXT"/"FILE.EX "
|
||
(name no more than 8 characters, dot, extension 3 characters
|
||
supplemented if necessary by spaces).
|
||
The filename must be written with capital letters. The terminating
|
||
character with code 0 is not necessary (not ASCIIZ-string).
|
||
* This function does not support folders on the ramdisk.
|
||
|
||
======================================================================
|
||
=============== Function 7 - draw image in the window. ===============
|
||
======================================================================
|
||
Paramters:
|
||
* eax = 7 - function number
|
||
* ebx = pointer to the image in the format BBGGRRBBGGRR...
|
||
* 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.
|
||
* Size of the image in bytes is 3*xsize*ysize.
|
||
|
||
======================================================================
|
||
=============== 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.
|
||
|

======================================================================
|
||
============ 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
|
||
* 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 corresponding executable file in the format 8+3)
|
||
* +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

|
||
* +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
|
||
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 - "OS/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).
|
||
* Beginning from slot 2, the normal applications are placed.
|
||
* Applications are placed in memory at the address 0x0
|
||
(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
|
||
71 = 0x37 bytes is used. Nevertheless it is recommended to use
|
||
1-Kb buffer for the future compatibility, in the future
|
||
some fields can be added.
|
||
|
||
======================================================================
|
||
==================== Function 10 - wait for event. ===================
|
||
======================================================================
|
||
If the message queue is empty, waits for appearance of the message
|
||
in queue. In this state thread does not consume CPU time.
|
||
Then reads out the message from queue.
|
||
|
||
Parameters:
|
||
* eax = 10 - function number
|
||
Returned value:
|
||
* eax = event (see the list of events)
|
||
Remarks:
|
||
* Those events are taken into account only which enter into
|
||
a mask set by function 40. By default it is
|
||
redraw, key and button events.
|
||
* To check, whether there is a message in queue, use function 11.
|
||
To wait for no more than given time, use function 23.
|
||
|
||
======================================================================
|
||
=============== Function 11 - check for event, no wait. ==============
|
||
======================================================================
|
||
If the message queue contains event, function reads out
|
||
and return it. If the queue is empty, function returns 0.
|
||
Parameters:
|
||
* eax = 11 - function number
|
||
Returned value:
|
||
* eax = 0 - message queue is empty
|
||
* else eax = event (see the list of events)
|
||
Remarks:
|
||
* Those events are taken into account only, which enter into
|
||
a mask set by function 40. By default it is
|
||
redraw, key and button events.

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)
|

|
||
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 FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS for hard disks.
|
||
* +6: 4 db: reserved
|
||
Format of the table: full version:
|
||
* +0: 10 db: same as for the short version
|
||
* +10: 100 db: data for the first partition
|
||
* +110: 100 db: data for the second partition
|
||
* ...
|
||
* +10+100*(n-1): 100 db: data for the last partition
|
||
The partitions are located as follows: at first sequentially all
|
||
recoginzed partitions on HD on IDE0 (if present),
|
||
then on HD on IDE1 (if present) and so on up to IDE3.
|
||
Format of the information about partition
|
||
(at moment only FAT is supported):
|
||
* +0: dword: first physical sector of the partition
|
||
* +4: dword: last physical sector of the partition
|
||
(belongs to the partition)
|
||
* +8: byte: file system type:
|
||
16=FAT16, 32=FAT32, 1=NTFS
|
||
* other data are dependent on file system, are modified with
|
||
kernel modifications and therefore are not described
|
||

|
||
* ecx = 5 - subsubfunction number
|
||
* edx = information about emulated state of mouse buttons:
|
||
(same as return value in subfunction 2 of function 37)
|
||
* bit 0 is set = left button is pressed
|
||
* bit 1 is set = right button is pressed
|
||
* bit 2 is set = middle button is pressed
|
||
* bit 3 is set = 4th button is pressed
|
||
* bit 4 is set = 5th button is pressed
|
||
Returned value:
|
||
* function does not return value
|
||
Remarks:
|
||
* It is recommended to set speed of the mouse (in subsubfunction 1)
|
||
from 1 up to 9. The installed value is not inspected by the kernel
|
||
code, so set it carefully, at incorrect value the cursor
|
||
can "freeze". Speed of the mouse can be regulated through the
|
||
application SETUP.
|
||
* Recommended delay of the mouse (in subsubfunction 3) = 10. Lower
|
||
value is not handled by COM mice. At the very large values the
|
||
movement of the mouse on 1 pixel is impossible and the cursor will
|
||
jump on the value of installed speed (subsubfunction 1). The
|
||
installed value is not inspected by the kernel code.
|
||
Mouse delay can be regulated through the application SETUP.
|
||
* The subsubfunction 4 does not check the passed value. Before
|
||
its call find out current screen resolution (with function 14)
|
||
and check that the value of position is inside the limits of the
|
||
screen.

======================================================================
|
||
Parameters:
|
||
* eax = 22 - function number
|
||
* ebx = 0 - set time
|
||
* ecx = 0x00SSMMHH - time in the binary-decimal code (BCD):

|
||
* MM=minute 00..59
|
||
* SS=second 00..59
|
||
* ebx = 1 - set date
|
||
* ecx = 0x00DDMMYY - date in the binary-decimal code (BCD):

|
||
* MM=month 01..12
|
||
* YY=year 00..99
|
||
* ebx = 2 - set day of week

* 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.

|
||
============= Function 23 - wait for event with timeout. =============
|
||
======================================================================
|
||
If the message queue is empty, waits for new message in the queue,
|
||
but no more than given time. Then reads out a message from the queue.
|
||
|
||
Parameters:
|
||
* eax = 23 - function number
|
||
* 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.
|
||
To wait without timeout use function 10.
|
||
* Transmission ebx=0 results in immediate returning eax=0.
|
||
* Current implementation returns immediately with eax=0,
|
||
if the addition of ebx with the current value of time counter
|
||
makes 32-bit overflow.

|
||
== Function 39, subfunction 4 - get drawing mode for the background. =
|
||
======================================================================
|
||
Parameters:
|
||
* eax = 39 - function number
|
||
* ebx = 4 - subfunction number
|
||
Returned value:
|
||
* eax = 1 - tile
|
||
* eax = 2 - stretch
|
||
Remarks:
|
||
* There is a pair function to set drawing mode -
|

======================================================================
|
||
=========== Function 40 - set the mask for expected events. ==========
|
||
======================================================================
|
||
The mask for expected events affects function working with events
|
||
10, 11, 23 - they notify only about events allowed by this mask.
|
||
Parameters:
|
||
* eax = 40 - function number
|
||
* ebx = mask: bit i corresponds to event i+1 (see list of events)
|
||
(set bit permits notice on event)
|
||
Returned value:
|
||
* eax = previous value of mask
|
||
Remarks:
|
||
* Default mask (7=111b) enables nofices about redraw,
|
||
keys and buttons. This is enough for many applications.
|
||
* Events prohibited in the mask are saved anyway, when come;
|
||
they are simply not informed with event functions.
|
||
* Event functions take into account the mask on moment of
|
||
function call, not on moment of event arrival.

======================================================================
|
||
================== Function 42 - work with IRQ data. =================
|
||
======================================================================
|
||
When an IRQ occurs, the system reads data from ports indicated
|
||
earlier by function 44 and writes this data to
|
||
internal buffer. This function reads out data from that buffer.
|
||
|
||
--------------------- Subfunction 0 - read data ----------------------
|
||
Parameters:
|
||
* eax = 42 - function number
|
||
* bl = IRQ number, 0..15
|
||
* bh = 0 - subfunction number
|
||
* rest of ebx must be zeroed
|
||
* ecx = pointer to a buffer with size not less than 4000 bytes
|
||
Returned value: (use value of eax to distinguish)
|
||
* if the thread is not IRQ owner
|
||
(or IRQ number is incorrect): eax = -1
|
||
* if there is no data: eax = 0
|
||
* if all is ok:
|
||
eax = size of data read (in bytes)
|
||
|
||
------------- Subfunction 1 - get size of data in buffer -------------
|
||
Parameters:
|
||
* eax = 42 - function number
|
||
* bl = IRQ number, 0..15
|
||
* bh = 0 - subfunction number
|
||
* rest of ebx must be zeroed
|
||
Returned value:
|
||
* if the thread is not IRQ owner
|
||
(or IRQ number is incorrect): eax = -1
|
||
* otherwise eax = size of data in buffer
|
||
Remarks:
|
||
* Previously the thread must reserve indicated IRQ for itself
|
||
by function 45.
|
||
* The size of data buffer is 4000 bytes, on overflow
|
||
"fresh" data cease to be written in the buffer.

================ Function 43 - input/output to a port. ===============
|
||
======================================================================
|
||
|
||
------------------------ Output data to port -------------------------
|
||
Parameters:
|
||
* eax = 43 - function number
|
||
* bl = byte for output
|
||
* ecx = port number 0xnnnn (from 0 to 0xFFFF)
|
||
Returned value:
|
||
* eax = 0 - success
|
||
* eax = 1 - the thread has not reserved the selected port
|
||
|
||
------------------------ Input data from port ------------------------
|
||
Parameters:
|
||
* eax = 43 - function number
|
||
* ebx is ignored
|
||
* ecx = 0x8000nnnn, where nnnn = port number (from 0 to 0xFFFF)
|
||
Returned value:
|
||
* eax = 0 - success, thus ebx = entered byte
|
||
* eax = 1 - the thread has not reserved the selected port
|
||
Remarks:
|
||
* Previously the thread must reserve the selected port
|
||
for itself by function 46.
|
||
* Instead of call to this function it is better to use
|
||
processor instructions in/out - this is much
|
||
faster and a bit shorter and easier.
|
||
|
||
======================================================================
|
||
=========== Function 44 - define operations at IRQ arrival. ==========
|
||
======================================================================
|
||
At IRQ arrival the system can read the data from ports defined
|
||
by this function and write these data to internal buffer, whence
|
||
they can be read by <20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> 42.
|
||
Parameters:
|
||
* eax = 44 - function number
|
||
* ebx = pointer to the array of structures each describing one port:
|
||
* +0: word: 0 means end of array, otherwise port number
|
||
* +2: byte: reserved (ignored)
|
||
* +3: byte: 1=read byte from this port, 2=read word
|
||
* ecx = IRQ number, 0..15
|
||
Returned value:
|
||
* eax = 0 - success
|
||
* eax = 1 - the thread is not owner of selected IRQ
|
||
Remarks:
|
||
* Previously the thread must reserve for itself selected IRQ
|
||
by function 45.
|
||
* First 16 ports are considered only.
|
||
* The current implementation considers incorrect value of field +3
|
||
as a signal to terminate IRQ processing.
|
||
|
||
======================================================================
|
||
=================== Function 45 - reserve/free IRQ. ==================
|
||
======================================================================
|
||
Parameters:
|
||
* eax = 45 - function number
|
||
* ebx = 0 - reserve, 1 = free
|
||
* ecx = IRQ number, 0..15
|
||
Returned value:
|
||
* eax = 0 - success
|
||
* eax = 1 - error (invalid IRQ number
|
||
or attempt to reserve not free IRQ
|
||
or to free IRQ, not reserved by this thread)
|
||
Remarks:
|
||
* IRQ reservation is required for functions 42 and 44.
|
||
* Only one thread can reserve the specific IRQ.
|
||
* IRQs, handled by the system itself, are reserved by the system
|
||
(thread 1) at booting.
|
||
* When a thread terminates, all reserved by it IRQs
|
||
are freed automatically.
|
||
|

======================================================================
|
||
====== Function 46 - reserve/free a group of input/output ports. =====
|
||
======================================================================
|
||
To work with reserved ports an application can access directly by
|
||
commands in/out (recommended way) and can use function 43
|
||
(not recommended way).
|
||
Parameters:
|
||
* eax = 46 - function number
|
||
* ebx = 0 - reserve, 1 - free
|
||
* ecx = start port number
|
||
* edx = end port number (inclusive)
|
||
Returned value:
|
||
* eax = 0 - success
|
||
* eax = 1 - error
|
||
Remarks:
|
||
* For ports reservation: an error occurs if and only if
|
||
one from the following condition satisfies:
|
||
* start port is more than end port;
|
||
* the selected range contains incorrect port number
|
||
(correct are from 0 to 0xFFFF);
|
||
* limit for the total number of reserved areas is exceeded
|
||
(maximum 255 are allowed);
|
||
* the selected range intersects with any of earlier reserved
|
||
* For ports free: an error is an attempt to free range,
|
||
that was not earlier reserved by this function
|
||
(with same ecx,edx).
|
||
* If an error occurs (for both cases) function performs no action.
|
||
* At booting the system reserves for itself ports
|
||
0..0x2d, 0x30..0x4d, 0x50..0xdf, 0xe5..0xff (inclusively).
|
||
* When a thread terminates, all reserved by it ports
|
||
are freed automatically.

||
* The screen working area defines position and coordinates of
|
||
a maximized window.
|
||
* The screen working area in view of normal work is all screen
|
||
without system panel (the application '@panel').
|
||
* (left,top) are coordinates of the left upper corner,
|
||
(right,bottom) are coordinates of the right lower one.
|
||
Thus the size of working area on x axis can be calculated by
|
||
formula right-left+1, on y axis - by formula bottom-right+1.

|
||
which set working area to all screen without system panel.
|
||
* (left,top) are coordinates of the left upper corner,
|
||
(right,bottom) are coordinates of the right lower one.
|
||
Thus the size of working area on x axis can be calculated by
|
||
formula right-left+1, on y axis - by formula bottom-right+1.
|
||
* If 'left'>='right', x-coordinate of working area is not changed.
|
||
If 'left'<0, 'left' will not be set. If 'right' is greater than or
|
||
equal to screen width, 'right' will not be set.
|
||
Similarly on y axis.
|
||
* See also function 14,
|
||
to get sizes of all screen.
|
||
* There is a pair function to get working area - subfunction 5.

=================== 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.

|
||
x - partition number on the selected hard drive, varies from 1
|
||
to 255 (on each hard drive the indexing starts from 1)
|
||
Remarks:
|
||
* In the first two cases it is also possible to use FIRST
|
||
instead of 1, SECOND instead of 2, but it is not recommended
|
||
for convenience of transition to the future extensions.
|
||
* Limitation n<=39 is imposed.
|
||
* Names of folders and file dir1,...,dirn,file must have the
|
||
format 8.3: name no more than 8 characters, dot, extension no
|
||
more than 3 characters. Trailing spaces are ignored, no other
|
||
spaces is allowed. If name occupies equally 8 characters,
|
||
dot may be omitted (though it is not recommended to use this
|
||
feature for convenience of transition to the future extensions).
|
||
* This function does not support folders on ramdisk.
|

======================================================================
|

=========== Function 58, subfunction 0 - read file/folder. ===========
|
||
======================================================================
|
||
Parameters:
|
||
* eax = 58
|
||
* ebx = pointer to the information structure
|
||
Format of the information structure:
|
||
* +0: dword: 0 = subfunction number
|
||
* +4: dword: first block to read (beginning from 0)
|
||
* +8: dword: amount of blocks to read
|
||
* +12 = +0xC: dword: pointer to buffer for data
|
||
* +16 = +0x10: dword: pointer to buffer for system operations
|
||
(4096 bytes)
|
||
* +20 = +0x14: ASCIIZ-name of file, the rules of names forming are
|
||
given in the general description
|
||
Returned value:
|
||
* eax = 0 - success, otherwise file system error code
|
||
* ebx = file size (in bytes) or -1=0xffffffff, if file was not found
|
||
Remarks:
|
||
* Block size is 512 bytes.
|
||
* This function is obsolete, for reading files use subfunction 0
|
||
of function 70, for reading folders - subfunction 1 of
|
||
function 70.
|
||
* Function can read contents of a folder. Only FAT file system is
|
||
supported. The format of FAT-folder is described
|
||
in any FAT documentation.
|
||
* Size of a folder is determined by size of FAT clusters chain.
|
||
* If file was ended before last requested block was read,
|
||
the function will read as many as it can, and after that return
|
||
eax=6 (EOF).
|
||
* Function can read root folders /rd/1,/fd/x,/hd[n]/x, but
|
||
in the first two cases the current implementation does not follow
|
||
to the declared rules:
|
||
for /rd/1:
|
||
* if one want to read 0 blocks, function considers,
|
||
that he requested 1;
|
||
* if one requests more than 14 blocks or starting block is
|
||
not less than 14, function returns eax=5 (not found) <20> ebx=-1;
|
||
* size of ramdisk root folder is 14 blocks,
|
||
0x1C00=7168 <20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD>; but function returns ebx=0
|
||
(except of the case of previous item);
|
||
* strangely enough, it is possible to read 14th block (which
|
||
generally contains a garbage - I remind, the indexing begins
|
||
from 0);
|
||
* if some block with the number not less than 14 was requested,
|
||
function returns eax=6(EOF); otherwise eax=0.
|
||
For /fd/x:
|
||
* if the start block is not less than 14, function returns
|
||
eax=5 (not found) and ebx=0;
|
||
* note that format of FAT12 allows floppies with the root size
|
||
more or less than 14 blocks;
|
||
* check for length is not performed;
|
||
* if data was successful read, function returns
|
||
eax=0,ebx=0; otherwise eax=10 (access denied), ebx=-1.
|
||
* The function handles reading of special folders /,/rd,/fd,/hd[n];
|
||
but the result does not correspond to expected (on operations with
|
||
normal files/folders), does not follow the declared rules,
|
||
may be changed in future versions of the kernel and consequently
|
||
is not described. To obtain the information about the equipment
|
||
use subfunction 11 of function 18 or
|
||
read corresponding folder with subfunction 1 of function 70.

========= Function 58, subfunction 8 - LBA-read from device. =========
|
||
======================================================================
|
||
Parameters:
|
||
* eax = 58 - function number
|
||
* ebx = pointer to the information structure
|
||
Format of the information structure:
|
||
* +0: dword: 8 = subfunction number
|
||
* +4: dword: number of block to read (beginning from 0)
|
||
* +8: dword: ignored (set to 1)
|
||
* +12 = +0xC: dword: pointer to buffer for data (512 bytes)
|
||
* +16 = +0x10: dword: pointer to buffer for system operations
|
||
(4096 bytes)
|
||
* +20 = +0x14: ASCIIZ-name of device: case-insensitive, one of
|
||
/rd/1 = /RamDisk/1, /hd/n = /HardDisk/n,
|
||
1<=n<=4 - number of device: 1=IDE0, ..., 4=IDE3.
|
||
Instead of digits it is allowed, though not recommended for
|
||
convenience of transition to future extensions, to use
|
||
'first','second','third','fourth'.
|
||
Returned value:
|
||
* for device name /hd/xxx, where xxx is not in the list above:
|
||
* eax = ebx = 1
|
||
* for invalid device name (except for the previous case):
|
||
* eax = 5
|
||
* ebx does not change
|
||
* if LBA-access is disabled by subfunction 11 of function 21:
|
||
* eax = 2
|
||
* ebx destroyed
|
||
* for ramdisk: attempt to read block outside ramdisk
|
||
(18*2*80 blocks) results in
|
||
* eax = 3
|
||
* ebx = 0
|
||
* for successful read:
|
||
* eax = ebx = 0
|
||
Remarks:
|
||
* Block size is 512 bytes; function reads one block.
|
||
* Do not depend on returned value, it can be changed
|
||
in future versions.
|
||
* Function requires that LBA-access to devices is enabled by
|
||
subfunction 11 of function 21. To check this one can use
|
||
subfunction 11 of function 26.
|
||
* LBA-read of floppy is not supported.
|
||
* Function reads data on physical hard drive; if for any reason
|
||
data of the concrete partition are required, application must
|
||
define starting sector of this partition (either directly
|
||
through MBR, or from the full structure returned by
|
||
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> 11 <20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> 18).
|
||
* Function does not check error code of hard disk, so request of
|
||
nonexisting sector reads something (most probably it will be
|
||
zeroes, but this is defined by device) and this is considered
|
||
as success (eax=0).

|

==== Function 58, subfunction 15 - get information on file system. ===
|
||
======================================================================
|
||
Parameters:
|
||
* eax = 58 - function number
|
||
* ebx = pointer to the information structure
|
||
Format of the information structure:
|
||
* +0: dword: 15 = subfunction number
|
||
* +4: dword: ignored
|
||
* +8: dword: ignored
|
||
* +12 = +0xC: dword: ignored
|
||
* +16 = +0x10: dword: ignored
|
||
* +20 = +0x14: (only second character is checked)
|
||
/rd=/RAMDISK or /hd=/HARDDISK
|
||
Returned value:
|
||
* if the second character does not belong to set {'r','R','h','H'}:
|
||
* eax = 3
|
||
* ebx = ecx = dword [fileinfo] = 0
|
||
* for ramdisk:
|
||
* eax = 0 (success)
|
||
* ebx = total number of clusters = 2847
|
||
* ecx = number of free clusters
|
||
* dword [fileinfo] = cluster size = 512
|
||
* for hard disk: base and partition are defined by subfunctions
|
||
7 and 8 of function 21:
|
||
* eax = 0 (success)
|
||
* ebx = total number of clusters
|
||
* ecx = number of free clusters
|
||
* dword [fileinfo] = cluster size (in bytes)
|
||
Remarks:
|
||
* Be not surprised to strange layout of 4th returned parameter
|
||
- when this code was writing, at system calls application got
|
||
only registers eax,ebx,ecx (from pushad-structure transmitted
|
||
as argument to the system function). Now it is corrected, so,
|
||
probably, it is meaningful to return cluster size in edx, while
|
||
this function is not used yet.
|
||
* There exists also subfunction 11 of function 18,
|
||
which returns information on file system. From the full table
|
||
of disk subsystem it is possible to deduce cluster size (there
|
||
it is stored in sectors) and total number of clusters
|
||
for hard disks.

|
||
========== Function 60 - Inter Process Communication (IPC). ==========
|
||
======================================================================
|
||
IPC is used for message dispatching from one process/thread to
|
||
another. Previously it is necessary to agree how to interpret
|
||
the concrete message.
|
||
|
||
----------- 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
|
||
Format of IPC-buffer:
|
||
* +0: dword: if nonzero, buffer is considered locked;
|
||
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
|
||
* +4: dword: message length (not including this header)
|
||
* +8: n*byte: message data
|
||
|
||
------------------ Subfunction 2 - send IPC message ------------------
|
||
Is called by process-sender.
|
||
Parameters:
|
||
* eax = 60 - function number
|
||
* ebx = 2 - subfunction number
|
||
* ecx = PID of receiver
|
||
* edx = pointer to the message data
|
||
* esi = message length (in bytes)
|
||
Returned value:
|
||
* eax = 0 - success
|
||
* eax = 1 - the receiver has not defined buffer for IPC messages
|
||
(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:
|
||
* Immediately after writing of IPC-message to the buffer the system
|
||
sends to the receiver the event with code 7 (see event codes).
|
||
|
||
======================================================================
|
||
==== 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,
|
||
namely, only in cases, when user works with the application VRR.
|
||
* 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 --------------------------

|
||
it returns sizes on 1 pixel less. It is fully equivalent way.
|
||
|
||

============== 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

Returned value:
|
||
* eax = 0 - success
|
||
* eax = 1 - not enough memory
|
||
Remarks:
|
||
* There is another way to dynamically allocate/free memory -
|
||
subfunctions 11, 12, 13 of function 68.
|
||
* 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.

|
||
* ebx = pointer to the image
|
||
* ecx = [size on axis x]*65536 + [size on axis y]
|
||
* edx = [coordinate on axis x]*65536 + [coordinate on axis y]
|

* 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 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.
|
||
* 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.
|
||
If subfunction is not support then eax=-1.
|
||
|
||
-------------- 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
|
||
* 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 mant 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.

|
||
========= Function 67 - change position/sizes of the window. =========
|
||
======================================================================
|
||
Parameters:

||
* 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).

* User handler get exception number in stack parameter. So, correct
|
||
exit from handler is: RET 4. Return from handler is to the same
|
||
instruction, that was cause the exception
|
||
* When control is transfering to user handler, corresponding bit in
|
||
exception mask is clearing. Rising this exception in consequence
|
||
- reduce to default-handling. Exactly: terminating the application,
|
||
or suspending with debug-notify to owner.
|
||
* After completion of critical operations in user handler, it may be
|
||
rising corresponding bit in exception mask by using subfunction 25
|
||
Clearing exceptions flags in FPU and/or XMM modules - is
|
||
responsibility of user handler too.

==== Function 68, subfunction 25 - change state of signal activity ===
|
||
======================================================================
|
||
Parameters:
|
||
* eax = 68 - function number
|
||
* ebx = 25 - subfunction number
|
||
* ecx = signal number
|
||
* edx = value of activity (0/1)
|
||
Returned value:
|
||
* eax = value of old activity for this signal (0/1)
|
||
Remarks:
|
||
* In current implementation, it is changed only exception mask for
|
||
user exception handler, wich was previously set by subfunction 24.
|
||
At that, number of signal correspond to exception number.

====================== Fucntion 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 occuring 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
|
||
* <20><><EFBFBD> 14: exception has occured 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

|
||
Returned value:
|
||
* function does not return value
|
||
Remarks:
|
||
* If the size field is negative, the buffer is considered locked
|
||
and at arrival of new message the system will wait.
|
||
For synchronization frame all work with the buffer by operations
|
||
lock/unlock
|
||
neg [bufsize]
|
||
* Data in the buffer are considered as array of items with variable
|
||
length - messages. Format of a message is explained in
|
||
general description.

|
||
the encoding cp866 (DOS).
|
||
Format of filename:
|
||
/base/number/dir1/dir2/.../dirn/file,
|
||
where /base/number identifies device, on which file is located:
|
||
one of
|
||
* /RD/1 = /RAMDISK/1 to access ramdisk
|
||
* /FD/1 = /FLOPPYDISK/1 to access first floppy drive,
|
||
/FD/2 = /FLOPPYDISK/2 to access second one
|
||
* /HD0/x, /HD1/x, /HD2/x, /HD3/x to access accordingly to devices
|
||
IDE0 (Primary Master), IDE1 (Primary Slave),
|
||
IDE2 (Secondary Master), IDE3 (Secondary Slave);
|
||
x - partition number on the selected hard drive, varies from 1
|
||
to 255 (on each hard drive the indexing starts from 1)
|
||
* /CD0/1, /CD1/1, /CD2/1, /CD3/1 to access accordingly to
|
||
CD on IDE0 (Primary Master), IDE1 (Primary Slave),
|
||
IDE2 (Secondary Master), IDE3 (Secondary Slave)
|
||
* /SYS means system folder; with the usual boot (from floppy)
|
||
is equivalent to /RD/1
|
||
Examples:
|
||
* '/rd/1/kernel.asm',0
|
||
* '/HD0/1/kernel.asm',0
|
||
* '/hd0/2/menuet/pics/tanzania.bmp',0
|
||
* '/hd0/1/Program files/NameOfProgram/SomeFile.SomeExtension',0
|
||
* '/sys/MySuperApp.ini',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

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.

|
||
* Any folder on the disk, except for root, contains two special
|
||
entries "." and "..", identifying accordingly the folder itself
|

* 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.

* ebx = number of written bytes (possibly 0)
|
||
Remarks:
|
||
* The file must already exist, otherwise function returns eax=5.
|
||
* The only result of write 0 bytes is update in the file attributes
|
||
date/time of modification and access to the current date/time.
|
||
* If beginning and/or ending position is greater than file size
|
||
(except for the previous case), the file is expanded to needed

Remarks:
|
||
* If the new file size is less than old one, file is truncated.
|
||
If the new size is greater than old one, file is expanded with
|
||
characters with code 0. If the new size is equal to old one,
|
||
the only result of call is set date/time of modification and
|

|
||
* eax = 72 - function number
|
||
* ebx = 1 - subfunction number
|
||
* ecx = event code: 2 or 3
|
||

=============== 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 = the desktop background is redrawed (is reset automatically
|
||
after redraw, so if in redraw time program does not wait and
|
||
does not check events, it will not remark this event)
|
||
* 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
|
||
* 1 = base and/or partition of a hard disk is not defined
|
||
(by subfunctions 7, 8 of function 21)
|
||
* 2 = function is not supported for the given file system
|
||
* 3 = unknown file system
|
||
* 4 = reserved, is never returned in the current implementation
|
||
* 5 = file not found
|
||
* 6 = end of file, EOF
|
||
* 7 = pointer lies outside of application memory
|
||
* 8 = disk is full
|
||
* 9 = FAT table is destroyed
|
||
* 10 = access denied
|
||
* 11 = device error
|
||
Application start functions can return also following errors:
|
||
* 30 = 0x1E = not enough memory
|
||
* 31 = 0x1F = file is not executable
|
||
* 32 = 0x20 = too many processes
