Get Virtual Interrupt State

Returns the current state of the virtual interrupt flag.

Call With

AX = 0902H

Returns

Carry flag = clear (this function always succeeds)
AL = 0 if virtual interrupts are disabled
AL = 1 if virtual interrupts are enabled

Notes

This function should be used in preference to the PUSHF instruction to examine the interrupt flag, because the PUSHF instruction returns the physical interrupt flag rather than the virtualized (per-client) interrupt flag. On some DPMI hosts, the physical interrupt flag will always be enabled, even when hardware interrupts are not being passed through to the client.
