I verify the information contained in this list to the best of my ability, but I cannot be held responsible for any problems caused by use or misuse of the information, especially for those functions not officially documented. If it is marked "internal" or undocumented, you should check it carefully to make sure it works the same way in your version of the software (and please let me know whether or not it works the same way). Information marked with "???" is known to be incomplete or guesswork. --------------------------------------------- The use of -> instead of = signifies that the indicated register or register pair contains a pointer to the specified item, rather than the item itself. One or more letters may follow the interrupt number; they have the following meanings: U - undocumented function, u - partially documented function, P - available only in protected mode, R - available only in real or V86 mode ----------00--------------------------------- INT 00 - CPU-generated - DIVIDE ERROR Desc: generated if the divisor of a DIV or IDIV instruction is zero or the quotient overflows the result register; DX and AX will be unchanged. Notes: on an 8086/8088, the return address points to the following instruction on an 80286+, the return address points to the divide instruction SeeAlso: INT 04 ----------01--------------------------------- INT 01 - CPU-generated - SINGLE STEP Desc: generated after each instruction if TF (trap flag) is set; TF is cleared on invoking the single-step interrupt handler Notes: interrupts are prioritized such that external interrupts are invoked after the INT 01 pushes CS:IP/FLAGS and clears TF, but before the first instruction of the handler executes used by debuggers for single-instruction execution tracing, such as MSDOS DEBUG's T command SeeAlso: INT 03 ----------01--------------------------------- INT 01 - CPU-generated (80386+) - DEBUGGING EXCEPTIONS Desc: generated by the CPU on various occurrences which may be of interest to a debugger program Note: events which may trigger the interrupt: Instruction address breakpoint fault - will return to execute inst Data address breakpoint trap - will return to following instruction General detect fault, debug registers in use Task-switch breakpoint trap SeeAlso: INT 03 ----------02--------------------------------- INT 02 - external hardware - NON-MASKABLE INTERRUPT Desc: generated by the CPU when the input to the NMI pin is asserted Notes: return address points to start of interrupted instruction on 80286+ although the Intel documentation states that this interrupt is typically used for power-failure procedures, it has many other uses on IBM-compatible machines: Memory parity error: all except Jr, CONV, and some machines without memory parity Breakout switch on hardware debuggers Coprocessor interrupt: all except Jr and CONV Keyboard interrupt: Jr, CONV I/O channel check: CONV, PS50+ Disk-controller power-on request: CONV System suspend: CONV Real-time clock: CONV System watch-dog timer, time-out interrupt: PS50+ DMA timer time-out interrupt: PS50+ Low battery: HP 95LX Module pulled: HP 95LX ----------03--------------------------------- INT 03 - CPU-generated - BREAKPOINT Desc: generated by the one-byte breakpoint instruction (opcode CCh) Notes: used by debuggers to implement breakpoints, such as MSDOS DEBUG's G command also used by Turbo Pascal versions 1,2,3 when {$U+} specified return address points to byte following the breakpoint instruction SeeAlso: INT 01 ----------0309--SI4647----------------------- INT 03 - Soft-ICE BACK DOOR COMMANDS AH = 09h SI = 4647h ('FG') DI = 4A4Dh ('JM') AL = function 10h display string in Soft-ICE window DS:DX -> ASCIZ string to display (max 100 bytes, 0Dh OK) 11h execute Soft-ICE command DS:DX -> ASCIZ command string (max 100 bytes, 0Dh OK) 12h get breakpoint information Return: BH = entry number of last breakpoint set BL = type of last breakpoint set 00h BPM (breakpoint register types) 01h I/O 02h INTerrupt 03h BPX (INT 03h-style breakpoint) 04h reserved 05h range DH = entry number of last breakpoint to be triggered DL = type of last triggered breakpoint (see above) Desc: this API allows application programs to control some aspects of the Soft-ICE debugger Program: Soft-ICE is a debugger by Nu-Mega Technologies, Inc. ----------04--------------------------------- INT 04 - CPU-generated - INTO DETECTED OVERFLOW Desc: the INTO instruction will generate this interrupt if OF (Overflow Flag) is set; otherwise, INTO is effectively a NOP Note: may be used for convenient overflow testing (to prevent errors from propagating) instead of JO or a JNO/JMP combination SeeAlso: INT 00 ----------05--------------------------------- INT 05 - PRINT SCREEN Desc: dump the current text screen to the first printer Notes: normally invoked by the INT 09 handler when PrtSc key is pressed, but may be invoked directly by applications byte at 0050h:0000h contains status used by default handler 00h not active 01h PrtSc in progress FFh last PrtSc encountered error default handler is at F000h:FF54h in IBM PC and 100%-compatible BIOSes SeeAlso: INT 10/AH=12h/BL=20h ----------05--------------------------------- INT 05 - CPU-generated (80186+) - BOUND RANGE EXCEEDED Desc: generated by BOUND instruction when the value to be tested is less than the indicated lower bound or greater than the indicated upper bound. Note: returning from this interrupt re-executes the failing BOUND instruction ----------06--------------------------------- INT 06 - CPU-generated (80286+) - INVALID OPCODE Desc: this interrupt is generated when the CPU attempts to execute an invalid opcode (most protected-mode instructions are considered invalid in real mode) or a BOUND, LDS, LES, or LIDT instruction which specifies a register rather than a memory address Notes: return address points to beginning of invalid instruction with proper programming, this interrupt may be used to emulate instructions which do not exist; many 386 BIOSes emulate the 80286 undocumented LOADALL instruction which was removed from the 80386+ SeeAlso: INT 0C"CPU",INT 0D"CPU" ----------06--------------------------------- INT 06 C - HP 95LX - SLEEP/WAKEUP Desc: this interrupt is called just before going into light or deep (shutdown) sleep and just after returning from light or deep sleep SeeAlso: INT 0B"HP 95LX",INT 15/AX=4DD4h,INT 15/AH=4Eh ----------07--------------------------------- INT 07 - CPU-generated (80286+) - PROCESSOR EXTENSION NOT AVAILABLE Desc: this interrupt is automatically called if a coprocessor instruction is encountered when no coprocessor is installed Note: can be used to emulate a numeric coprocessor in software SeeAlso: INT 09"MATH UNIT PROTECTION" ----------08--------------------------------- INT 08 - IRQ0 - SYSTEM TIMER Desc: generated 18.2 times per second by channel 0 of the 8254 system timer, this interrupt is used to keep the time-of-day clock updated Notes: programs which need to be invoked regularly should use INT 1C unless they need to reprogram the timer while still keeping the time-of-day clock running at the proper rate default handler is at F000h:FEA5h in IBM PC and 100%-compatible BIOSes may be masked by setting bit 0 on I/O port 21h SeeAlso: INT 1C,INT 4A,INT 50"DESQview",INT 58"DoubleDOS",INT 70,INT 78"GO32" ----------08--------------------------------- INT 08 - CPU-generated (80286+) - DOUBLE EXCEPTION DETECTED Desc: called when multiple exceptions occur on one instruction, or an exception occurs in an exception handler Notes: called in protected mode if an interrupt above the defined limit of the interrupt vector table occurs return address points at beginning of instruction with errors or the beginning of the instruction which was about to execute when the external interrupt caused the exception if an exception occurs in the double fault handler, the CPU goes into SHUTDOWN mode (which circuitry in the PC/AT converts to a reset); this "triple fault" is a faster way of returning to real mode on many 80286 machines than the standard keyboard controller reset ----------09--------------------------------- INT 09 - IRQ1 - KEYBOARD DATA READY Desc: this interrupt is generated when data is received from the keyboard. This is normally a scan code (from either a keypress *or* a key release), but may also be an ACK or NAK of a command on AT-class keyboards. Notes: this IRQ may be masked by setting bit 1 on I/O port 21h if the BIOS supports an enhanced (101/102-key) keyboard, it calls INT 15/AH=4Fh after reading the scan code from the keyboard and before further processing; all further processing uses the scan code returned from INT 15/AH=4Fh the default interrupt handler is at F000h:E987h in 100%-compatible BIOSes the interrupt handler performs the following actions for certain special keystrokes: Ctrl-Break clear keyboard buffer, place word 0000h in buffer, invoke INT 1B, and set flag at 0040h:0071h SysRq invoke INT 15/AH=85h Ctrl-Numlock place system in a tight wait loop until next INT 09 Ctrl-Alt-Del jump to BIOS startup code (either F000h:FFF0h or the destination of the jump at that address) Shift-PrtSc invoke INT 05 DRDOS hooks this interrupt to control the cursor shape (underscore/ half block) for overwrite/insert mode DR Multiuser DOS hooks this interrupt for cursor shape control and to control whether Ctrl-Alt-Del reboots the current session or the entire system SeeAlso: INT 05,INT 0B"HP 95LX",INT 15/AH=4Fh,INT 15/AH=85h,INT 16,INT 1B SeeAlso: INT 2F/AX=A901h,INT 51"DESQview",INT 59"DoubleDOS",INT 79"GO32" Values for scan code: 01h Esc 31h N 02h 1 ! 32h M 03h 2 @ 33h , < 63h F16 04h 3 # 34h . > 64h F17 05h 4 $ 35h / ? 65h F18 06h 5 % 36h Right Shift 66h F19 07h 6 ^ 37h Grey* 67h F20 08h 7 & 38h Alt 68h F21 09h 8 * 39h SpaceBar 69h F22 0Ah 9 ( 3Ah CapsLock 6Ah F23 0Bh 0 ) 3Bh F1 6Bh F24 0Ch - _ 3Ch F2 6Ch -- 0Dh = + 3Dh F3 6Dh EraseEOF 0Eh Backspace 3Eh F4 0Fh Tab 3Fh F5 6Fh Copy/Play 10h Q 40h F6 11h W 41h F7 12h E 42h F8 72h CrSel 13h R 43h F9 14h T 44h F10 74h ExSel 15h Y 45h NumLock 75h -- 16h U 46h ScrollLock 76h Clear 17h I 47h Home 18h O 48h UpArrow 19h P 49h PgUp 1Ah [ { 4Ah Grey- 1Bh ] } 4Bh LeftArrow 1Ch Enter 4Ch Keypad 5 1Dh Ctrl 4Dh RightArrow 1Eh A 4Eh Grey+ 1Fh S 4Fh End 20h D 50h DownArrow E0h prefix code 21h F 51h PgDn E1h prefix code 22h G 52h Ins FAh ACK 23h H 53h Del FEh RESEND 24h J 54h SysRq FFh kbd error/buffer full 25h K 26h L 27h ; : 57h F11 28h ' " 58h F12 29h ` ~ 2Ah Left Shift 5Ah PA1 2Bh \ | 5Bh F13 2Ch Z 5Ch F14 2Dh X 5Dh F15 2Eh C 2Fh V 30h B Note: scan codes 57h-E1h are only available on the extended (101/102-key) keyboard and Host Connected (122-key) keyboard; scan codes 5Ah-76h are only available on the 122-key keyboard ----------09--------------------------------- INT 09 - CPU-generated (80286,80386) - PROCESSOR EXTENSION PROTECTION ERROR Desc: called if the coprocessor attempts to access memory outside a segment boundary; it may occur at an arbitrary time after the coprocessor instruction was issued Note: until the condition is cleared or the coprocessor is reset, the only coprocessor instruction which may be used is FNINIT; WAIT or other coprocessor instructions will cause a deadlock because the coprocessor is still busy waiting for data SeeAlso: INT 07"CPU" ----------09--------------------------------- INT 09 P - internal hardware - RESERVED BY Intel (80486) Note: this exception has been moved to INT 0D SeeAlso: INT 09"MATH",INT 0D ----------0A--------------------------------- INT 0A - IRQ2 - LPT2 (PC), VERTICAL RETRACE INTERRUPT (EGA,VGA) Notes: the TOPS and PCnet adapters use this interrupt request line by default DOS 3.2 revectors IRQ2 to a stack-switching routine on ATs and above, the physical data line for IRQ2 is labeled IRQ9 and connects to the slave 8259. The BIOS redirects the interrupt for IRQ9 back here. under DESQview, only the INT 15h vector and BASIC segment address (the word at 0000h:0510h) may be assumed to be valid for the handler's process many VGA boards do not implement the vertical retrace interrupt, including the IBM VGA Adapter where the traces are either cut or removed SeeAlso: INT 52"DESQview",INT 5A"DoubleDOS",INT 71,INT 7A"GO32" ----------0A--------------------------------- INT 0A - IRQ2 - Tandy 1000-series HARD DISK Note: may be masked by setting bit 2 on I/O port 21h SeeAlso: INT 52"DESQview",INT 5A"DoubleDOS",INT 71 ----------0A--------------------------------- INT 0A - IRQ2 - ROLAND MPU MIDI INTERFACE Note: newer Roland cards and MIDI interfaces by other manufacturers use a jumper-selectable IRQ, but software and hardware generally defaults to IRQ2 SeeAlso: INT 52"DESQview",INT 5A"DoubleDOS",INT 71,INT 7A"GO32" ----------0A--------------------------------- INT 0A P - CPU-generated (80286+) - INVALID TASK STATE SEGMENT Desc: automatically called during a task switch if the new TSS specified by the task gate is invalid for any of the following reasons: TSS limit is less than 43 (80286) or 103 (80386/80486) LDT selector invalid or segment not present null SS selector, or SS selector outside LDT/GDT limit stack segment is read-only stack segment DPL differs from new CPL, or RPL <> CPL CS selector is outside LDT/GDT limit or not code non-conforming code segment's DPL differs from CPL conforming code segment's DPL > CPL DS/ES selectors outside LDT/GDT limit or not readable segments Note: the handler must use a task gate in order to have a valid TSS under which to execute; it must also reset the busy bit in the new TSS SeeAlso: INT 0B"CPU" ----------0B--------------------------------- INT 0B - IRQ3 - SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS (COM2) Notes: the TOPS and PCnet adapters use this interrupt request line as an alternate on PS/2's, COM2 through COM8 share this interrupt; on many PC's, COM4 shares this interrupt may be masked by setting bit 3 on I/O port 21h SeeAlso: INT 0C"COM1",INT 53"DESQview",INT 5B"DoubleDOS",INT 7B"GO32" ----------0B--------------------------------- INT 0B P - CPU-generated (80286+) - SEGMENT NOT PRESENT Desc: generated when loading a segment register if the segment descriptor indicates that the segment is not currently in memory, unless the segment is an LDT (see INT 0A"CPU") or stack segment (see INT 0C"CPU") needed by a task switch Note: may be used to implement virtual memory by loading in segments as they are accessed, clearing the "not present" bit after loading SeeAlso: INT 0A"CPU",INT 0E"hardware" ----------0B--------------------------------- INT 0B - HP 95LX - LOW-LEVEL KEYBOARD HANDLER Desc: this is the lowest-level keyboard handler on an HP 95LX palmtop Note: debounces key, places the keycode in I/O register 60h, and calls INT 09 SeeAlso: INT 09,INT 0D"HP 95LX",INT 15/AX=4DD4h ----------0C--------------------------------- INT 0C - IRQ4 - SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS (COM1) Notes: on many PC's, COM3 shares this interrupt may be masked by setting bit 4 on I/O port 21h this vector is modified but not restored by Direct Access v4.0, and may be left dangling by other programs written with the same version of compiled BASIC SeeAlso: INT 0B"COM2",INT 54"DESQview",INT 5C"DoubleDOS",INT 7C"GO32" ----------0C--------------------------------- INT 0C - CPU-generated (80286+) - STACK FAULT Desc: this interrupt is generated in protected mode on a stack overflow or underflow, or if an inter-level transition or task switch references a stack segment marked "not present"; it is generated in real mode on accessing a word operand at SS:FFFFh Note: the 80286 will shut down in real mode if SP=1 before a push. On the PC AT and compatibles, external circuitry generates a reset on shutdown. SeeAlso: INT 0B"CPU",INT 0D"CPU" ----------0C--------------------------------- INT 0C - IBM SYSTEM 36/38 WORKSTATION EMULATION - API POINTER Call offset 100h in the interrupt handler's segment with AH = function 03h update screen 05h select next session AL = session number (00h-03h) Return: AL = session type code 00h not active 01h display session 02h printer session FEh invalid session number DS = requested session's data segment (0 if not active) Return: ???
