====== DosCLIAccess ======

This call requests I/O privilege for disabling and enabling interrupts. Access to ports must be granted with DosPortAccess.

===== Syntax =====

<code c>
DosCLIAccess ()
</code>

===== Return Code =====

rc ([[USHORT]]) - return: Return code

  *0 NO_ERROR

===== Remarks =====

Applications that only use CLI/STI in IOPL segments must request CLI/STI privilege from the operating system.

Applications that use IN/OUT instructions to I/O ports must request I/O privilege with [[DosPortAccess]]. Request for port access also grants CLI/STI privilege from the operating system.
