Get Multiple Descriptors

Call With

AX = 000EH
CX = number of descriptors to copy
ES:(E)DI = selector:offset of a buffer in the following format:

Offset	Length	Contents
00H	2	Selector #1 (set by client)
02H	8	Descriptor #1 (returned by host)
0AH	2	Selector #2 (set by client)
0CH	8	Descriptor #2 (returned byhost)
...	...	...

if function unsuccessful
Carry flag = set
AX = error code

8022H

invalid selector

CX = number of descriptors successfully copied

Notes

• If an error occurs because of an invalid selector or descriptor, the function returns the number of descriptors which were successfully copied in CX. All of the descriptors which were copied prior to the one that failed are valid.

• 32-bit programs must use ES:EDI to point to the buffer. 16-bit programs should use ES:DI.

• Refer to the rules for descriptor usage in Appendix D.
