  1. SYSTEM FUNCTIONS of OS Kolibri 0.6.3.0
  2.  
  3. Number of the function is located in the register eax.
  4. The call of the system function is executed by "int 0x40" command.
  5. All registers except explicitly declared in the returned value,
  6.     including eflags, are preserved.
  7.  
  8.  
  9. ======================================================================
  10. ============== Function 0 - define and draw the window. ==============
  11. ======================================================================
  12. Defines an application window. Draws a frame of the window, header and
  13. working area. For skinned windows defines standard close and minimize
  14. buttons.
  15. Parameters:
  16.   * eax = 0 - function number
  17.   * ebx = [coordinate on axis x]*65536 + [size on axis x]
  18.   * ecx = [coordinate on axis y]*65536 + [size on axis y]
  19.   * edx = 0xXYRRGGBB, where:
  20.     * Y = style of the window:
  21.       * Y=0 - type I - fixed-size window
  22.       * Y=1 - only define window area, draw nothing
  23.       * Y=2 - type II - variable-size window
  24.       * Y=3 - skinned window
  25.       * other possible values (from 4 up to 15) are reserved,
  26.         function call with such Y is ignored
  27.     * RR, GG, BB = accordingly red, green, blue components of a color
  28.       of the working area of the window (are ignored for style Y=2)
  29.     * X = DCBA (bits)
  30.       * A = 1 - window has caption; for style Y=3 caption string
  31.                   must be passed in edi, for other styles use
  32.                   subfunction 1 of function 71
  33.       * B = 1 - coordinates of all graphics primitives are relative to
  34.                   window client area
  35.       * C = 1 - don't fill working area on window draw
  36.       * D = 0 - normal filling of the working area, 1 - gradient
  37.     The following parameters are intended for windows
  38.     of a type I and II, and ignored for styles Y=1,3:
  39.   * esi = 0xXYRRGGBB - color of the header
  40.     * RR, GG, BB define color
  41.     * Y=0 - usual window, Y=1 - unmovable window
  42.     * X defines a gradient of header: X=0 - no gradient,
  43.       X=8 - usual gradient,
  44.       for windows of a type II X=4 - negative gradient
  45.     * other values of X and Y are reserved
  46.   * edi = 0x00RRGGBB - color of the frame
  47. Returned value:
  48.   * function does not return value
  49. Remarks:
  50.   * Position and sizes of the window are installed by the first
  51.     call of this function and are ignored at subsequent; to change
  52.     position and/or sizes of already created window use function 67.
  53.   * For windows with style Y=3 and caption (A=1) caption string is set
  54.     by the first call of this function and is ignored at subsequent
  55.     (strictly speaking, is ignored after a call to subfunction 2
  56.     of function 12 - end redraw); to change caption of already created
  57.     window use subfunction 1 of function 71.
  58.   * If the window has appropriate styles, position and/or sizes can be
  59.     changed by user. Current position and sizes can be obtained
  60.     by function 9.
  61.   * The window must fit on the screen. If the transferred
  62.     coordinates and sizes do not satisfy to this condition,
  63.     appropriate coordinate (or, probably, both) is considered as zero,
  64.     and if it does not help too, the appropriate size
  65.     (or, probably, both) is installed in a size of the screen.
  66.    
  67.     Further let us designate xpos,ypos,xsize,ysize - values passed
  68.     in ebx,ecx. The coordinates are resulted concerning
  69.     the left upper corner of the window, which, thus, is set as (0,0),
  70.     coordinates of the right lower corner essence (xsize,ysize).
  71.   * The sizes of the window are understood in sence of coordinates
  72.     of the right lower corner. This concerns all other functions too.
  73.     It means, that the real sizes are on 1 pixel more.
  74.   * The window of type I looks as follows:
  75.     * draw external frame of color indicated in edi, 1 pixel in width
  76.     * draw header - rectangle with the left upper corner (1,1) and
  77.       right lower (xsize-1,min(25,ysize)) color indicated in esi
  78.       (taking a gradient into account)
  79.     * if ysize>=26, fill the working area of the window -
  80.       rectangle with the left upper corner (1,21) and right lower
  81.       (xsize-1,ysize-1) (sizes (xsize-1)*(ysize-21)) with color
  82.       indicated in edx (taking a gradient into account)
  83.     * if A=1 and caption has been already set by subfunction 1
  84.       of function 71, it is drawn in the corresponding place of header
  85.   * The window of style Y=1 looks as follows:
  86.     * completely defined by the application
  87.   * The window of type II looks as follows:
  88.     * draw external frame of width 1 pixel with the "shaded" color
  89.       edi (all components of the color decrease twice)
  90.     * draw intermediate frame of width 3 pixels with color edi
  91.     * draw internal frame of width 1 pixel with the "shaded" color edi
  92.     * draw header - rectangle with the left upper corner (4,4)
  93.       and right lower (xsize-4,min(20,ysize)) color, indicated in esi
  94.       (taking a gradient into account)
  95.     * if ysize>=26, fill the working area of the window -
  96.       rectangle with the left upper corner (5,20) and right lower
  97.       (xsize-5,ysize-5) with color indicated in edx
  98.       (taking a gradient into account)
  99.     * if A=1 and caption has been already set by subfunction 1
  100.       of function 71, it is drawn in the corresponding place of header
  101.   * The skinned window looks as follows:
  102.     * draw external frame of width 1 pixel
  103.       with color 'outer' from the skin
  104.     * draw intermediate frame of width 3 pixel
  105.       with color 'frame' from the skin
  106.     * draw internal frame of width 1 pixel
  107.       with color 'inner' from the skin
  108.     * draw header (on bitmaps from the skin) in a rectangle
  109.       (0,0) - (xsize,_skinh-1)
  110.     * if ysize>=26, fill the working area of the window -
  111.       rectangle with the left upper corner (5,_skinh) and right lower
  112.       (xsize-5,ysize-5) with color indicated in edx
  113.       (taking a gradient into account)
  114.     * define two standard buttons: close and minimize
  115.       (see function 8)
  116.     * if A=1 and edi contains (nonzero) pointer to caption string,
  117.       it is drawn in place in header defined in the skin
  118.     * value _skinh is accessible as the result of call
  119.       subfunction 4 of function 48
  120.  
  121. ======================================================================
  122. ================ Function 1 - put pixel in the window. ===============
  123. ======================================================================
  124. Parameters:
  125.   * eax = 1 - function number
  126.   * ebx = x-coordinate (relative to the window)
  127.   * ecx = y-coordinate (relative to the window)
  128.   * edx = 0x00RRGGBB - color of a pixel
  129.     edx = 0x01xxxxxx - invert color of a pixel
  130.           (low 24 bits are ignored)
  131. Returned value:
  132.   * function does not return value
  133.  
  134. ======================================================================
  135. ============ Function 2 - get the code of the pressed key. ===========
  136. ======================================================================
  137. Takes away the code of the pressed key from the buffer.
  138. Parameters:
  139.   * eax = 2 - function number
  140. Returned value:
  141.   * if the buffer is empty, function returns eax=1
  142.   * if the buffer is not empty, function returns al=0,
  143.     ah=code of the pressed key, high word of eax is zero
  144.   * if there is "hotkey", function returns al=2,
  145.     ah=scancode of the pressed key (0 for control keys),
  146.     high word of eax contains a status of control keys at the moment
  147.     of pressing a hotkey
  148. Remarks:
  149.   * There is a common system buffer of the pressed keys
  150.     by a size of 120 bytes, organized as queue.
  151.   * There is one more common system buffer on 120 "hotkeys".
  152.   * If the application with the inactive window calls this function,
  153.     the buffer of the pressed keys is considered to be empty.
  154.   * By default this function returns ASCII-codes; to switch
  155.     to the scancodes mode (and back) use function 66.
  156.     However, hotkeys are always notificated as scancodes.
  157.   * To find out, what keys correspond to what codes, start
  158.     the application keyascii and scancode.
  159.   * Scancodes come directly from keyboard and are fixed;
  160.     ASCII-codes turn out with usage of the conversion tables,
  161.     which can be set by subfunction 2 of function 21
  162.     and get by subfunction 2 of function 26.
  163.   * As a consequence, ASCII-codes take into account current
  164.     keyboard layout (rus/en) as opposed to scancodes.
  165.   * This function notifies only about those hotkeys, which were
  166.     defined by this thread by subfunction 4 of function 66.
  167.  
  168. ======================================================================
  169. ==================== Function 3 - get system time. ===================
  170. ======================================================================

  173. Returned value:
  174.   * eax = 0x00SSMMHH, where HH:MM:SS = Hours:Minutes:Seconds
  175.   * each item is BCD-number, for example,
  176.     for time 23:59:59 function returns 0x00595923
  177. Remarks:
  178.   * See also subfunction 9 of function 26 - get time from
  179.     the moment of start of the system; it is more convenient, because
  180.     returns simply DWORD-value of the time counter.
  181.   * System time can be set by function 22.
  182.  
  183. ======================================================================
  184. ============ Function 4 - draw text string in the window. ============
  185. ======================================================================
  186. Parameters:
  187.   * eax = 4 - function number
  188.   * ebx = [coordinate on axis x]*65536 + [coordinate on axis y]
  189.   * ecx = 0xX0RRGGBB, where
  190.     * RR, GG, BB specify text color
  191.     * X=ABnn (bits):
  192.     * nn specifies the used font: 0=system monospaced,
  193.       1=system font of variable width
  194.     * A=0 - output esi characters, A=1 - output ASCIIZ-string
  195.     * B=1 - fill background with the color edi
  196.   * edx = pointer to the beginning of the string
  197.   * esi = for A=0 length of the string, must not exceed 255;
  198.           for A=1 is ignored
  199. Returned value:
  200.   * function does not return value
  201. Remarks:
  202.   * First system font is read out at loading from the file char.mt,
  203.     second - from char2.mt.
  204.   * Both fonts have height 9 pixels, width of the monospaced font
  205.     is equal to 6 pixels.
  206.  
  207. ======================================================================
  208. ========================= Function 5 - delay. ========================
  209. ======================================================================
  210. Delays execution of the program on the given time.
  211. Parameters:
  212.   * eax = 5 - function number
  213.   * ebx = time in the 1/100 of second
  214. Returned value:
  215.   * function does not return value
  216. Remarks:
  217.   * Passing ebx=0 does not transfer control to the next process
  218.     and does not make any operations at all. If it is really required
  219.     to transfer control to the next process (to complete a current
  220.     time slice), use subfunction 1 of function 68.
  221.   * At current implementation there will be an immediate return from
  222.     the function, if the addition of ebx with current value of
  223.     time counter will call 32-bit overflow.
  224.  
  225. ======================================================================
  226. ============== Function 6 - read the file from ramdisk. ==============

  235.   * esi = pointer to memory area for the data
  236. Returned value:
  237.   * eax = file size in bytes, if the file was successfully read
  238.   * eax = -1, if the file was not found
  239. Remarks:
  240.   * This function is out-of-date; function 70 allows
  241.     to fulfil the same operations with the extended possibilities.
  242.   * Block = 512 bytes.
  243.   * For reading all file you can specify the certainly large value
  244.     in edx, for example, edx = -1; but in this case be ready that
  245.     the program will "fall", if the file will appear too large and can
  246.     not be placed in the program memory.
  247.   * The filename must be either in the format 8+3 characters
  248.     (first 8 characters - name itself, last 3 - extension,
  249.     the short names and extensions are supplemented with spaces),
  250.     or in the format 8.3 characters "FILE.EXT"/"FILE.EX "
  251.     (name no more than 8 characters, dot, extension 3 characters

  293.   * For skinned windows definition of the window
  294.     (call of 0th function) creates two standard buttons -
  295.     for close of the window with identifier 1 and
  296.     for minimize of the window with identifier 0xffff.
  297.   * The creation of two buttons with same identifiers is admitted.
  298.   * The button with the identifier 0xffff at pressing is interpreted
  299.     by the system as the button of minimization, the system handles
  300.     such pressing independently, not accessing to the application.
  301.     In rest it is usual button.
  302.   * Total number of buttons for all applications is limited to 4095.

  312. Returned value:
  313.   * eax = maximum number of the slot of a thread
  314.   * buffer pointed to by ebx contains the following information:
  315.     * +0: dword: usage of the processor (how many time units
  316.       per second leaves on execution of this thread)
  317.     * +4: word: position of the window of thread in the window stack
  318.     * +6: word: (has no relation to the specified thread)
  319.       number of the thread slot, which window has in the window stack
  320.       position ecx
  321.     * +8: word: reserved
  322.     * +10 = +0xA: 11 bytes: name of the process
  323.       (name of corresponding executable file in the format 8+3)
  324.     * +21 = +0x15: byte: reserved, this byte is not changed
  325.     * +22 = +0x16: dword: address of the process in memory
  326.     * +26 = +0x1A: dword: size of used memory - 1
  327.     * +30 = +0x1E: dword: identifier (PID/TID)
  328.     * +34 = +0x22: dword: coordinate of the thread window on axis x

  333.       * 0 = thread is running
  334.       * 1 = thread is suspended
  335.       * 2 = thread is suspended while waiting for event
  336.       * 3 = thread is terminating as a result of call to function -1
  337.         or under duress as a result of call to subfunction 2
  338.         of function 18 or termination of the system
  339.       * 4 = thread is terminating as a result of exception
  340.       * 5 = thread waits for event
  341.       * 9 = requested slot is free, all other information on the slot
  342.         is not meaningful
  343.     * +52 = +0x34: word: reserved, this word is not changed
  344.     * +54 = +0x36: dword: coordinate of the client area on axis x

  350.       * bit 1 (mask 2): window is minimized to panel
  351.       * bit 2 (mask 4): window is rolled up
  352. Remarks:
  353.   * Slots are numbered starting from 1.
  354.   * Returned value is not a total number of threads, because there
  355.     can be free slots.
  356.   * When process is starting, system automatically creates
  357.     execution thread.
  358.   * Function gives information on the thread. Each process has
  359.     at least one thread. One process can create many threads,
  360.     in this case each thread has its own slot and the fields
  361.     +10, +22, +26 in these slots coincide.
  362.     Applications have no common way to define whether two threads
  363.     belong to one process.
  364.   * The active window - window on top of the window stack -
  365.     receives the messages on a keyboard input. For such window
  366.     the position in the window stack coincides with returned value.
  367.   * Slot 1 corresponds to special system thread, for which:
  368.     * the window is in the bottom of the window stack, the fields
  369.       +4 and +6 contain value 1
  370.     * name of the process - "OS/IDLE" (supplemented by spaces)
  371.     * address of the process in memory is 0, size of used memory is
  372.       16 Mb (0x1000000)
  373.     * PID=1
  374.     * coordinates and sizes of the window and the client area are by
  375.       convention set to 0
  376.     * status of the slot is always 0 (running)
  377.     * the execution time adds of time leaving on operations itself
  378.       and idle time in waiting for interrupt (which can be got by call
  379.       to subfunction 4 of function 18).
  380.   * Beginning from slot 2, the normal applications are placed.
  381.   * The normal applications are placed in memory at the address
  382.     0x60400000 (kernel constant 'std_application_base_address').
  383.     There is no intersection, as each process has its own page table.
  384.   * At creation of the thread it is assigned the slot
  385.     in the system table and identifier (Process/Thread IDentifier =
  386.     PID/TID), which do not vary with time for given thread.
  387.     After completion of the thread its slot can be anew used
  388.     for another thread. The thread identifier can not be assigned
  389.     to other thread even after completion of this thread.
  390.     Identifiers, assigned to new threads, grow monotonously.
  391.   * If the thread has not yet defined the window by call to
  392.     function 0, the position and the sizes
  393.     of its window are considered to be zero.

  2296. ======================================================================
  2297. Normal windows have rectangular shape. This function can give to
  2298. a window any shape. The shape is given by a set of points inside
  2299. the base rectangle belonging to a window. Position and coordinates

  2318.   * function does not return value
  2319. Remarks:
  2320.   * Default scale is 0 (scale factor is 1). If in the shape data
  2321.     one byte corresponds to one pixel, there is no necessity
  2322.     to set scale.
  2323.   * Let's designate xsize = window width (in pixels), ysize = height;
  2324.     pay attention, that they are one pixel more than defined by
  2325.     functions 0, 67.
  2326.   * On definition of scale xsize and ysize must be divisible
  2327.     on 2^scale.
  2328.   * Byte of data on offset 'a' must be 0/1 and defines belonging
  2329.     to a window of square with the side 2^scale (if scale=0,
  2330.     this is one pixel) and coordinates of the left upper corner
  2331.     (a mod (xsize shr scale), a div (xsize shr scale))
  2332.   * Data size: (xsize shr scale)*(ysize shr scale).
  2333.   * Data must be presented in the memory and not change
  2334.     after set of shape.
  2335.   * The system views the shape data at every window redraw by
  2336.     function 0.
  2337.   * The call of subfunction 0 with NULL pointer results in return
  2338.     to the rectangular shape.

  2831. Format of filename:
  2832. /base/number/dir1/dir2/.../dirn/file,
  2833. where /base/number identifies device, on which file is located:
  2834. one of

  2836.   * /FD/1 = /FLOPPYDISK/1 to access first floppy drive,
  2837.     /FD/2 = /FLOPPYDISK/2 to access second one
  2838.   * /HD/x = /HARDDISK/x - obsolete variant of access to hard disk

  2849.     for convenience of transition to the future extensions.
  2850.   * Limitation n<=39 is imposed.

  2852.     format 8.3: name no more than 8 characters, dot, extension no
  2853.     more than 3 characters. Trailing spaces are ignored, no other
  2854.     spaces is allowed. If name occupies equally 8 characters,
  2855.     dot may be omitted (though it is not recommended to use this
  2856.     feature for convenience of transition to the future extensions).
  2857.   * This function does not support folders on ramdisk.

  2875.   * eax = 58
  2876.   * ebx = pointer to the information structure
  2877. Format of the information structure:
  2878.   * +0: dword: 0 = subfunction number

  2882.   * +16 = +0x10: dword: pointer to buffer for system operations
  2883.     (4096 bytes)
  2884.   * +20 = +0x14: ASCIIZ-name of file, the rules of names forming are
  2885.     given in the general description
  2886. Returned value:
  2887.   * eax = 0 - success, otherwise file system error code
  2888.   * ebx = file size (in bytes) or -1=0xffffffff, if file was not found
  2889. Remarks:
  2890.   * Block size is 512 bytes.
  2891.   * This function is obsolete, for reading files use subfunction 0
  2892.     of function 70, for reading folders - subfunction 1 of
  2893.     function 70.
  2894.   * Function can read contents of a folder. Only FAT file system is
  2895.     supported. The format of FAT-folder is described
  2896.     in any FAT documentation.
  2897.   * Size of a folder is determined by size of FAT clusters chain.
  2898.   * If file was ended before last requested block was read,
  2899.     the function will read as many as it can, and after that return
  2900.     eax=6 (EOF).
  2901.   * Function can read root folders /rd/1,/fd/x,/hd[n]/x, but
  2902.     in the first two cases the current implementation does not follow
  2903.     to the declared rules:
  2904.     for /rd/1:
  2905.     * if one want to read 0 blocks, function considers,
  2906.       that he requested 1;
  2907.     * if one requests more than 14 blocks or starting block is
  2908.       not less than 14, function returns eax=5 (not found) è ebx=-1;
  2909.     * size of ramdisk root folder is 14 blocks,
  2910.       0x1C00=7168 áàéò; but function returns ebx=0
  2911.       (except of the case of previous item);
  2912.     * strangely enough, it is possible to read 14th block (which
  2913.       generally contains a garbage - I remind, the indexing begins
  2914.       from 0);
  2915.     * if some block with the number not less than 14 was requested,
  2916.       function returns eax=6(EOF); otherwise eax=0.
  2917.     For /fd/x:
  2918.     * if the start block is not less than 14, function returns
  2919.       eax=5 (not found) and ebx=0;
  2920.     * note that format of FAT12 allows floppies with the root size
  2921.       more or less than 14 blocks;
  2922.     * check for length is not performed;
  2923.     * if data was successful read, function returns
  2924.       eax=0,ebx=0; otherwise eax=10 (access denied), ebx=-1.
  2925.   * The function handles reading of special folders /,/rd,/fd,/hd[n];
  2926.     but the result does not correspond to expected (on operations with
  2927.     normal files/folders), does not follow the declared rules,
  2928.     may be changed in future versions of the kernel and consequently
  2929.     is not described. To obtain the information about the equipment
  2930.     use subfunction 11 of function 18 or
  2931.     read corresponding folder with subfunction 1 of function 70.

  3012. Parameters:
  3013.   * eax = 58 - function number
  3014.   * ebx = pointer to the information structure
  3015. Format of the information structure:

  3023.     /rd/1 = /RamDisk/1, /hd/n = /HardDisk/n,
  3024.     1<=n<=4 - number of device: 1=IDE0, ..., 4=IDE3.
  3025.     Instead of digits it is allowed, though not recommended for
  3026.     convenience of transition to future extensions, to use
  3027.     'first','second','third','fourth'.
  3028. Returned value:
  3029.   * for device name /hd/xxx, where xxx is not in the list above:
  3030.     * eax = ebx = 1
  3031.   * for invalid device name (except for the previous case):
  3032.     * eax = 5
  3033.     * ebx does not change
  3034.   * if LBA-access is disabled by subfunction 11 of function 21:
  3035.     * eax = 2
  3036.     * ebx destroyed
  3037.   * for ramdisk: attempt to read block outside ramdisk
  3038.     (18*2*80 blocks) results in
  3039.     * eax = 3
  3040.     * ebx = 0
  3041.   * for successful read:
  3042.     * eax = ebx = 0
  3043. Remarks:
  3044.   * Block size is 512 bytes; function reads one block.
  3045.   * Do not depend on returned value, it can be changed
  3046.     in future versions.
  3047.   * Function requires that LBA-access to devices is enabled by
  3048.     subfunction 11 of function 21. To check this one can use
  3049.     subfunction 11 of function 26.
  3050.   * LBA-read of floppy is not supported.
  3051.   * Function reads data on physical hard drive; if for any reason
  3052.     data of the concrete partition are required, application must
  3053.     define starting sector of this partition (either directly
  3054.     through MBR, or from the full structure returned by
  3055.     ïîäôóíêöèåé 11 ôóíêöèè 18).
  3056.   * Function does not check error code of hard disk, so request of
  3057.     nonexisting sector reads something (most probably it will be
  3058.     zeroes, but this is defined by device) and this is considered
  3059.     as success (eax=0).

  3063. ======================================================================
  3064. Parameters:
  3065.   * eax = 58 - function number
  3066.   * ebx = pointer to the information structure
  3067. Format of the information structure:

  3073.   * +20 = +0x14: (only second character is checked)
  3074.     /rd=/RAMDISK or /hd=/HARDDISK
  3075. Returned value:
  3076.   * if the second character does not belong to set {'r','R','h','H'}:
  3077.     * eax = 3
  3078.     * ebx = ecx = dword [fileinfo] = 0
  3079.   * for ramdisk:
  3080.     * eax = 0 (success)
  3081.     * ebx = total number of clusters = 2847
  3082.     * ecx = number of free clusters
  3083.     * dword [fileinfo] = cluster size = 512
  3084.   * for hard disk: base and partition are defined by subfunctions
  3085.     7 and 8 of function 21:
  3086.     * eax = 0 (success)
  3087.     * ebx = total number of clusters
  3088.     * ecx = number of free clusters
  3089.     * dword [fileinfo] = cluster size (in bytes)
  3090. Remarks:
  3091.   * Be not surprised to strange layout of 4th returned parameter
  3092.     - when this code was writing, at system calls application got
  3093.     only registers eax,ebx,ecx (from pushad-structure transmitted
  3094.     as argument to the system function). Now it is corrected, so,
  3095.     probably, it is meaningful to return cluster size in edx, while
  3096.     this function is not used yet.
  3097.   * There exists also subfunction 11 of function 18,
  3098.     which returns information on file system. From the full table
  3099.     of disk subsystem it is possible to deduce cluster size (there
  3100.     it is stored in sectors) and total number of clusters
  3101.     for hard disks.
  3102.  
  3103. ======================================================================
  3104. =============== Function 59 - trace last system calls. ===============
  3105. ======================================================================
  3106. Gets data on all system calls of all processes.
  3107. Parameters:
  3108.   * eax = 59 - function number
  3109.   * ebx = 0 - unique subfunction
  3110.   * ecx = pointer to the buffer
  3111.   * edx = size of the buffer
  3112. Returned value:
  3113.   * eax = total number of system calls made from system boot
  3114.     (modulo 2^32)
  3115.   * ebx = 0
  3116. Format of information on one call: (size = 0x40 = 64 bytes)
  3117.   * +0: dword: PID of process/thread
  3118.   * +4: 7*dword: garbage
  3119.   * +32 = +0x20: dword: value of edi at the call
  3120.   * +36 = +0x24: dword: esi
  3121.   * +40 = +0x28: dword: ebp
  3122.   * +44 = +0x2C: dword: stack pointer of the kernel handler
  3123.   * +48 = +0x30: dword: ebx
  3124.   * +52 = +0x34: dword: edx
  3125.   * +56 = +0x38: dword: ecx
  3126.   * +60 = +0x3C: dword: eax (=number of system function)
  3127. Remarks:
  3128.   * The function is used only in the application 'systrace'.
  3129.     It is rather difficult to imagine a situation, in which
  3130.     this application or this function are really useful;
  3131.     and all system calls for support of this function are a little
  3132.     decelerated (though not strongly)...
  3133.   * So there is a proposition to delete from the kernel
  3134.     support of this function, together with application 'systrace'.
  3135.   * The information on system calls saves in the system
  3136.     ring buffer with 0x10 entries.
  3137.     This function simply copies the given size of data
  3138.     from this buffer to the given address.
  3139.   * One can determine, which entry in the buffer corresponds to
  3140.     last system call, by value of eax, namely, it is the entry
  3141.     (eax and 0xF) (at offset (eax and 0xF)*0x40).
  3142.   * In the current implementation there can be the seldom
  3143.     meeting problems of unsynchronization, when the information
  3144.     on some calls becomes outdated.
  3145.   * Under the system buffer one page, 4Kb, is allocated.
  3146.     Size of an entry = 64 bytes. Why only 16 entries are used,
  3147.     is not clearly.
  3148.   * The value of esp at the moment of system call cannot
  3149.     be determined by this function.
  3150.   * The current implementation does not check edx for correctness.

  3152. ======================================================================
  3153. ========== Function 60 - Inter Process Communication (IPC). ==========
  3154. ======================================================================
  3155. IPC is used for message dispatching from one process/thread to
  3156. another. Previously it is necessary to agree how to interpret
  3157. the concrete message.
  3158.  
  3159. ----------- Subfunction 1 - set the area for IPC receiving -----------
  3160. Is called by process-receiver.
  3161. Parameters:
  3162.   * eax = 60 - function number
  3163.   * ebx = 1 - subfunction number
  3164.   * ecx = pointer to the buffer
  3165.   * edx = size of the buffer
  3166. Returned value:
  3167.   * eax = 0 - always success
  3168. Format of IPC-buffer:
  3169.   * +0: dword: if nonzero, buffer is considered locked;
  3170.     lock/unlock the buffer, when you work with it and need that
  3171.     buffer data are not changed from outside (no new messages)
  3172.   * +4: dword: occupied place in the buffer (in bytes)
  3173.   * +8: first message
  3174.   * +8+n: second message
  3175.   * ...
  3176. Format of a message:

  3178.   * +4: dword: message length (not including this header)
  3179.   * +8: n*byte: message data
  3180.  
  3181. ------------------ Subfunction 2 - send IPC message ------------------
  3182. Is called by process-sender.
  3183. Parameters:
  3184.   * eax = 60 - function number
  3185.   * ebx = 2 - subfunction number
  3186.   * ecx = PID of receiver
  3187.   * edx = pointer to the message data
  3188.   * esi = message length (in bytes)
  3189. Returned value:
  3190.   * eax = 0 - success
  3191.   * eax = 1 - the receiver has not defined buffer for IPC messages
  3192.     (can be, still have no time,
  3193.     and can be, this is not right process)
  3194.   * eax = 2 - the receiver has blocked IPC-buffer; try to wait a bit
  3195.   * eax = 3 - overflow of IPC-buffer of the receiver
  3196.   * eax = 4 - process/thread with such PID does not exist
  3197. Remarks:
  3198.   * Immediately after writing of IPC-message to the buffer the system
  3199.     sends to the receiver the event with code 7 (see event codes).
  3200.  
  3201. ======================================================================
  3202. ==== Function 61 - get parameters for the direct graphics access. ====
  3203. ======================================================================
  3204. The data of the graphics screen (the memory area which displays
  3205. screen contents) are accessible to a program directly, without
  3206. any system calls, through the selector gs:
  3207.         mov     eax, [gs:0]
  3208. places in eax the first dword of the buffer, which contains
  3209. information on color of the left upper point (and, possibly, colors
  3210. of several following).
  3211.         mov     [gs:0], eax
  3212. by work in VESA modes with LFB sets color of the left upper point
  3213. (and, possibly, colors of several following).
  3214. To interpret the data of graphics screen program needs to know
  3215. some parameters, returning by this function.
  3216. Remarks:
  3217.   * Graphics parameters changes very seldom at work,
  3218.     namely, only in cases, when user works with the application VRR.
  3219.   * At videomode change the system redraws all windows (event
  3220.     with code 1) and redraws the background (event 5).
  3221.     Same events occur in other cases too, which meet much more often,
  3222.     than videomode change.
  3223.   * By operation in videomodes with LFB the selector gs points to
  3224.     LFB itself, so reading/writing on gs result directly in
  3225.     change of screen contents. By operation in videomodes without
  3226.     LFB gs points to some data area in the kernel, and all functions
  3227.     of screen output fulfil honesty double operation on writing
  3228.     directly to the screen and writing to this buffer. In result
  3229.     at reading contents of this buffer the results correspond to
  3230.     screen contents (with, generally speaking, large color
  3231.     resolution), and writing is ignored.
  3232.     One exception is the mode 320*200, for which main loop of the
  3233.     system thread updates the screen according to mouse movements.
  3234.

  3369. ======================================================================
  3370. ============== Function 63 - work with the debug board. ==============
  3371. ======================================================================
  3372. The debug board is the global system buffer (with the size
  3373. 512 bytes), to which any program can write (generally speaking,
  3374. arbitrary) data and from which other program can read these data.
  3375. By the agreement written data are text strings interpreted as
  3376. debug messages on a course of program execution. The kernel in
  3377. some situations also writes to the debug board information on
  3378. execution of some functions; by the agreement kernel messages
  3379. begins from the prefix "K : ".
  3380. For view of the debug board the application 'board' was created,
  3381. which reads data from the buffer and displays them in its window.
  3382. 'board' interpretes the sequence of codes 13,10 as newline.
  3383. A character with null code in an end of line is not necessary,
  3384. but also does not prevent.
  3385. Because debugger has been written, the value of the debug board
  3386. has decreased, as debugger allows to inspect completely a course of
  3387. program execution without any efforts from the direction of program
  3388. itself. Nevertheless in some cases the debug board is still useful.
  3389.  
  3390. ----------------------------- Write byte -----------------------------
  3391. Parameters:
  3392.   * eax = 63 - function number
  3393.   * ebx = 1 - subfunction number
  3394.   * cl = data byte
  3395. Returned value:
  3396.   * function does not return value
  3397. Remarks:
  3398.   * Byte is written to the buffer. Buffer size is 512 bytes.
  3399.     At buffer overflow all obtained data are lost.
  3400.   * For output to the debug board of more complicated objects
  3401.     (strings, numbers) it is enough to call this function in cycle.
  3402.     It is possible not to write the appropriate code manually and use
  3403.     file 'debug.inc', which is included into the distributive.
  3404.  
  3405. ----------------------------- Read byte ------------------------------
  3406. Takes away byte from the buffer.
  3407. Parameters:
  3408.   * eax = 63 - function number
  3409.   * ebx = 2 - subfunction number
  3410. Returned value:
  3411.   * eax = ebx = 0 - the buffer is empty
  3412.   * eax = byte, ebx = 1 - byte was successfully read

  3516.     scancode of a key is more on 128 than pressing scancode
  3517.     (i.e. high bit is set).
  3518.   * Several applications can set the same combination;
  3519.     all such applications will be informed on pressing
  3520.     such combination.
  3521.

  4455. =========================== List of events ===========================
  4456. ======================================================================
  4457. Next event can be retrieved by the call of one from functions 10
  4458. (to wait for event), 11 (to check without waiting), 23
  4459. (to wait during the given time).
  4460. These functions return only those events, which enter into a mask set
  4461. by function 40. By default it is first three,
  4462. there is enough for most applications.
  4463. Codes of events:
  4464.   * 1 = redraw event (is reset by call to function 0)
  4465.   * 2 = key on keyboard is pressed (acts, only when the window is
  4466.     active) or hotkey is pressed; is reset, when all keys from
  4467.     the buffer are read out by function 2
  4468.   * 3 = button is pressed, defined earlier by function 8
  4469.     (or close button, created implicitly by function 0;
  4470.     minimize button is handled by the system and sends no message;
  4471.     acts, only when the window is active;
  4472.     is reset when all buttons from the buffer
  4473.     are read out by function 17)
  4474.   * 4 = reserved (in current implementation never comes even after
  4475.     unmasking by function 40)
  4476.   * 5 = the desktop background is redrawed (is reset automatically
  4477.     after redraw, so if in redraw time program does not wait and
  4478.     does not check events, it will not remark this event)
  4479.   * 6 = mouse event (something happened - button pressing or moving;
  4480.     is reset at reading)
  4481.   * 7 = IPC event (see function 60 -
  4482.     Inter Process Communication; is reset at reading)
  4483.   * 8 = network event (is reset at reading)
  4484.   * 9 = debug event (is reset at reading; see
  4485.     debug subsystem)
  4486.   * 16..31 = event with appropriate IRQ
  4487.     (16=IRQ0, 31=IRQ15) (is reset after reading all IRQ data)
  4488.  
  4489. ======================================================================
  4490. =================== Error codes of the file system ===================
  4491. ======================================================================

  4495.   * 2 = function is not supported for the given file system
  4496.   * 3 = unknown file system
  4497.   * 4 = is returned only from function 'rename' by transmission of
  4498.     the strongly incorrect parameter and in any way does not
  4499.     correspond to the description in the kernel sources
  4500.     "partition not defined at hd"
  4501.   * 5 = file not found
  4502.   * 6 = end of file, EOF
