- ; FARWRITE.ASM ;
- ; ;
- ; This module contains a function that duplicates the Turbo C library ;
- ; function _write(), except that this new function expects a far ;
- ; pointer to the file buffer. Thus, when used with farmalloc(), the ;
- ; calling program can set up large file buffers using the far heap, ;
- ; regardless of the memory model being used. ;
- ; ;
- ; The bsize variable, indicating the buffer size, can be any int sized ;
- ; value up to (but not including) 65,535. 65,535 is also used to ;
- ; represent -1, which is used as the return value in case of error. ;
- ; It is recommended that the buffer be a multiple of the sector size ;
- ; (512 bytes in the current version of DOS), since reads and writes ;
- ; are more efficient if they involve whole sectors. A good value to ;
- ; use is 65024 (decimal), since this is 1 sector (512 bytes) short ;
- ; of a complete segment (64k). ;
- ;-----------------------------------------------------------------------;
- ; Usage: ;
- ; ;
- ; #include "fcopy.h" ;
- ; ;
- ; Function prototype: ;
- ; ;
- ; int _farwrite (int handle, void far *buf, unsigned bsize) ;
- ; ;
- ; Returns: If successful, return number of bytes written. ;
- ; ;
- ; If function fails, returns -1 and sets errno and ;
- ; _doserrno to one of the following: ;
- ; ;
- ; EACCES Permission denied ;
- ; EBADF Bad file number ;
- ;-----------------------------------------------------------------------;
- ; Revision history: ;
- ; ;
- ; 1.0 5 JAN 92 Original. ;
- ; ;
- ; Uses conditional assembly for all ;
- ; memory models by defining _model. ;
- ; Defaults to the small model if ;
- ; _model is not defined. ;
- ; ;
- ; 1.1 19 JAN 92 Split _farread and _farwrite into ;
- ; separate modules. Removed TASM ;
- ; extensions so that the modules would ;
- ; assemble using either TASM or MASM. ;
- ; ;
- ; 1.2 19 APR 92 Added conditional to enable local ;
- ; labels when assembling with TASM. ;
- ; ;
- ; Defined equate DISKFUL = -2 as an ;
- ; error code. A similar #define was ;
- ; added to fcopy.h. ;
- ; ;
- ; The jumps in the error handling code ;
- ; were also rearranged so that only one ;
- ; error exit routine is now needed. ;
- ; ;
- ; 1.3 12 MAY 92 Now makes no assumption about setting ;
- ; of DS on entry. For large data models ;
- ; (compact and large), sets DS to the ;
- ; default data segment. For huge model, ;
- ; sets DS to segment containing errno ;
- ; so that errno and _doserrno can be set ;
- ; on error. ;
