USHORT  offOutBuf

C Declaration Method

typedef struct

Fields

fPosition  Placement flag.
           The DosMonReg function call parameter that is used by an application
           to indicate:
           Where its monitor buffers are to be placed within a monitor chain
           relative to monitors already registered on the monitor chain
           What special processing requirements need to be supported by the
           monitor dispatcher.
           Refer to the IOCtl function 40h for valid parameter values.

index      Index.
           Used by an application to indicate on which monitor chain its
           monitor buffers are being registered. The accepted values for this
           parameter vary for each device driver. See information on the
           physical mouse device driver, the physical keyboard device driver
           and the physical parallel port device driver in the OS/2
           Input/Output Device Driver Reference to determine the valid
           parameter value for each device driver.
           Refer to the IOCtl function 40h for valid parameter values.

pbInBuf    Address of the Input Buffer.
           Specifies the address of a monitor input buffer allocated by an
           application, initialized by the monitor dispatcher, and used by the
           DosMonRead function.

offOutBuf  Offset of the Output Buffer.
           Specifies the offset of a monitor output buffer allocated by an
           application in the same data segment as the input buffer,
           initialized by the monitor dispatcher, and used by the DosMonWrite
           function.
