INT 21 - DOS 2+ - IOCTL - GET INPUT STATUS AX = 4406h BX = file handle Return: CF clear if successful AL = input status 00h not ready (device) or at EOF (file) FFh ready AH may be destroyed (refer to note) CF set on error AX = error code (01h,05h,06h,0Dh) (see #01680 at AH=59h/BX=0000h) Notes: files may not register as being at EOF if positioned there by AH=42h under DOS 5.0, on a successful return, AH contains either the next character which will be read or 1Ah if at EOF; under a Windows95 DOS box, AH seems to be either unchanged or 00h this function was not supported by Digital Research's DOS Plus BUG: the CLOCK$ device under DR DOS 3.41 always indicates 'Ready'; this was corrected in v5.0 SeeAlso: AX=4407h,INT 2F/AX=122Bh
