Version

2 and higher

Brief

WRITE TO CHARACTER DEVICE CONTROL CHANNEL

Family API

Input

AX = 4403h
BX = file handle referencing character device
CX = number of bytes to write
DS:DX -> data to write

Return

CF clear if successful

    AX = number of bytes actually written
CF set on error
    AX = error code (01h,05h,06h,0Dh) (see #01680 at AH=59h/BX=0000h)

Macro

Notes

format of data is driver-specific (also see separate entries below for some specific cases)

if the file handle refers to “4DOSSTAK”, the 4DOS (v2.x-3.03) KEYSTACK.SYS driver will push the specified characters on the keyboard stack; similarly for “NDOSSTAK”, the NDOS KEYSTACK.SYS driver will push the characters onto the keyboard stack

this function was not supported by Digital Research's DOS Plus
