Category: DOS extenders Flags: available only in protected mode
INT 31 - DPMI 0.9+ - SIMULATE REAL MODE INTERRUPT
AX = 0300h
BL = interrupt number
BH = flags
bit 0: reset the interrupt controller and A20 line (DPMI 0.9)
reserved, must be 0 (DPMI 1.0+)
others: reserved, must be 0
CX = number of words to copy from protected mode to real mode stack
ES:(E)DI = selector:offset of real mode call structure (see #03148)
Return: CF clear if successful
real mode call structure modified (all fields except SS:SP, CS:IP
filled with return values from real mode interrupt)
CF set on error
AX = error code (DPMI 1.0+) (8012h,8013h,8014h,8021h)(see #03143)
protected mode stack unchanged
Notes: 16-bit programs use ES:DI as pointer, 32-bit programs use ES:EDI
CS:IP in the real mode call structure is ignored for this call,
instead, the indicated interrupt vector is used for the address
the flags in the call structure are pushed on the real mode stack to
form an interrupt stack frame, and the trace and interrupt flags are
clear on entry to the handler
DPMI will provide a small (30 words) real mode stack if SS:SP is zero
the real mode handler must return with the stack in the same state as
it was on being called
