DosVerifyAccess() Get read/write/code/data flags for selector
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Function : Get the read/write/code/data flags for a selector
Syntax : USHORT BLXAPI DosVerifyAccess(SEL selector,
PUSHORT flags);
selector Selector (or any unsigned value).
flags Pointer to an integer to receive the attribute flags.
Return : The segment flags.
DosVerifyAccess() is used to determine if the specified selector value is a
valid selector, and if so its type (code or data) and access rights (read or
write).
Example:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <blx286.h>
void DumpFlags(SEL sel)
{
USHORT flags;
if (DosVerifyAccess(sel, &flags) == 0)
if (flags & SEL_VALID) /* If a valid selector */
{
if (flags & SEL_WRITABLE) printf("WRITABLE ");
if (flags & SEL_READABLE) printf("READABLE ");
printf("%s\n", (flags & SEL_CODE) ? "CODE" : "DATA");
}
else
printf("NOT A SELECTOR\n");
}
void main(void)
{
SEL selector;
if (DosLockSeg(SELECTOROF(main)) == 0)
if (DosCreateDSAlias(SELECTOROF(main),&selector) == 0)
{
printf ("Code selector for main() is %04X\n",
SELECTOROF (main));
printf ("Data selector is %04X\n", selector);
printf ("Code selector flags : ");
DumpFlags(SELECTOROF(main));
printf ("Data selector flags : ");
DumpFlags(selector);
}
}
