_go32_dpmi_set_protected_mode_interrupt_vector
==============================================

Syntax
------

     #include <dpmi.h>
     
     int _go32_dpmi_set_protected_mode_interrupt_vector(int vector, _go32_dpmi_seginfo *info);

Description
-----------

DPMI Overview:    

This function sets the protected mode interrupt vector specified to
point to the given function.  The `pm_offset' and `pm_selector' fields
of INFO must be filled in (_go32_my_cs:.).  The following should   
be noted:

   *  You may not `longjmp' out of an interrupt handler.

   *  You may not make any function calls that require system calls,
     such as `printf'.

   *  This function will not wrap the handler for you.  The
     `_go32_dpmi_allocate_iret_wrapper' and
     `_go32_dpmi_chain_protected_mode_interrupt_vector' functions can
     wrap your function if you want.

   *  You must set the pm_selector field of INFO.  Use `_go32_my_cs' to
     get a selector valid for your functions.

Return Value
------------

Zero on success, nonzero on failure.

Example
-------

     volatile int tics = 0;
     
     timer_handler()
     {
       tics++;
     }
     
     int main()
     {
       _go32_dpmi_seginfo old_handler, new_handler;
     
       printf("grabbing timer interrupt\n");
       _go32_dpmi_get_protected_mode_interrupt_vector(8, &old_handler);
     
       new_handler.pm_offset = (int)tic_handler;
       new_handler.pm_selector = _go32_my_cs();
       _go32_dpmi_chain_protected_mode_interrupt_vector(8, &new_handler);
     
       getkey();
     
       printf("releasing timer interrupt\n");
       _go32_dpmi_set_protected_mode_interrupt_vector(8, &old_handler);
     
       return 0;
     }
