X-Hacker.org- Microsoft C - <b>segread() return current values of segment registers</b> http://www.X-Hacker.org [<<Previous Entry] [^^Up^^] [Next Entry>>] [Menu] [About The Guide]
segread()                Return Current Values of Segment Registers

 #include   <dos.h>

 void          segread(segregs);
 struct SREGS  *segregs;                 Segment register values

    segread() sets the fields in '*segregs' to the current contents of
    the segment registers.  The segment registers are needed when using
    the intdosx() and int86x() functions.

    Returns:    No return value, just sets 'segregs'.

      Notes:    Segment registers for 'far' pointers can be obtained with
                the FP_SEG() macro.

  -------------------------------- Example ---------------------------------

    The following statement prints the current contents of the segment
    registers.

          #include <dos.h>             /* for segread() and struct SREGS */
          #include <stdio.h>           /* for printf() */

          struct SREGS segregs;

          main()
          {
              segread(&segregs);
              printf("CS: %u  DS: %u  ES: %u  SS: %u\n",
                     segregs.cs, segregs.ds, segregs.es, segregs.ss);
          }
