Get Multiple Descriptors
![[1.0]](../1.0.gif)
Copies one or more local descriptor table (LDT) entries into
a client buffer.
Call With
AX = 000EH
CX = number of descriptors to copy
ES:(E)DI = selector:offset of a buffer in the following
format:
| Offset | Length | Contents |
|---|
| 00H | 2 | Selector #1 (set by client) |
| 02H | 8 | Descriptor #1 (returned by host) |
| 0AH | 2 | Selector #2 (set by client) |
| 0CH | 8 | Descriptor #2 (returned byhost) |
| ... | ... | ... |
Returns
if function successful
Carry flag = clear
and buffer contains copies of the descriptors for the
specified selectors
if function unsuccessful
Carry flag = set
AX = error code
CX = number of descriptors successfully copied
Notes
- If an error occurs because of an invalid selector or descriptor,
the function returns the number of descriptors which were successfully
copied in CX. All of the descriptors which were copied prior to the
one that failed are valid.
- 32-bit programs must use ES:EDI to point to the buffer. 16-bit
programs should use ES:DI.
- Refer to the rules for descriptor usage in Appendix D.
