Notes
- The null-terminated string specifies the host-specific vendor name
or some other unique identifier to obtain a specific extension entry
point. The string comparison used to look up the API entry point is
case-sensitive.
- Clients must use a FAR CALL to reach the extended API entry
point.
- All extended API parameters are specified by the vendor.
- DPMI 1.0 clients should use Int 2FH Function
168AH in preference to this function. DPMI 1.0 hosts support this
function solely for backward compatibility with DPMI 0.9 clients.
