If the +.Ar n th +bit is clear in the first of +these arrays, then the kernel may directly emulate the real-mode x86 INT +.Ar n +instruction handling. If the +.Ar n +th bit is set, then the process is +delivered a signal when an INT instruction is executed. +.Pp +Since MS-DOS puts many DOS functions onto interrupt 21, it is handled +specially: the +.Ar k +th bit in the +.Ar vmcp->int21_byuser +array is checked when INT +.Ar 21 +is requested and the +.Ar ah +register is +.Ar k . +.Sh RETURN VALUES +This routine does not normally return: 32-bit mode will be restored by +the delivery of a signal to the process. In case of an error in setting +the VM86 mode, a value of -1 is returned and the global variable +.Va errno +is set to indicate the error. +.Sh ERRORS +.Fn i386_vm86 +will fail if: +.Bl -tag -width [EINVAL] +.It Bq Er EFAULT +The state at +.Ar vmcp +was not readable to the user process. +.Sh REFERENCES +i386 Microprocessor Programmer's Reference Manual, Intel |
