DosReallocHuge() Resize extended memory block of up to 16 MB.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Function : Resize an extended memory block of up to 16 MB.
Syntax : USHORT BLXAPI DosReallocHuge( USHORT segcount,
USHORT lastsize, SEL selector);
segcount New count of full 64kb segments to allocate.
lastsize Size of last segment in bytes.
selector Selector originally returned by DosAllocHuge() when the memory
block was initially allocated.
Return : None
DosReallocHuge() changes the size of a memory block originally allocated
with DosAllocHuge().
Huge blocks can never be resized to a size larger than (segmax+1) 64 Kb
blocks as specified in the original call to DosAllocHuge().
Example:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <blx286.h>
void main (void)
{
SEL selector;
/* Allocate a 1MB block (16*64kb) */
/* allowing for expansion to 2MB (32*64kb) */
if (DosAllocHuge(16,0,&selector,32,0) != 0)
{
printf("DosAllocHuge() failed\n");
exit(255);
}
/* Attempt to reallocate block to 1.5MB (24*64kb) */
if (DosReallocHuge(24,0,selector) != 0)
{
printf("DosReallocHuge() failed\n");
exit(254);
}
printf("Block successfully expanded to 1.5MB\n");
DosFreeSeg(selector);
}
