DosSizeSeg
From EDM2
This call returns the size of a segment.
Syntax
DosSizeSeg (Selector, Size)
Parameters
- Selector (SEL) - input
- Selector/segment of the segment for which size is to be determined. This must be the base selector in the case of a huge segment.
- Size (PULONG) - output
- Address of the returned segment size. For non-huge segments, size is in the range 0 through 64KB. For huge segments, size equals (NUMSEG << 16) + ASIZE where NUMSEG and ASIZE are the last values passed successfully to DosAllocHuge or DosReallocHuge for this huge segment.
Return Code
- rc (USHORT) - return
- Return code description is:
- 0 NO_ERROR
Remarks
This function provides compatibility for family applications that must run in DOS or OS/2 mode. DosSizeSeg returns the actual size of memory allocated by a DosAllocSeg or DosAllocHuge request and is intended for use when the application is running in DOS mode, where allocations are rounded up to the next paragraph.
