Int 21H, AH=51H

2 and higher

GET CURRENT PROCESS ID (GET PSP ADDRESS)

AH = 51h

 BX = segment of PSP for current process

DOS uses the current PSP address to determine which processes own files and memory; it corresponds to process identifiers used by other OSs

under DOS 2.x, this function cannot be invoked inside an INT 28h handler without setting the Critical Error flag

under DOS 3.0+, this function does not use any of the DOS-internal stacks and may thus be called at any time, even during another INT 21h call

supported by OS/2 compatibility box

identical to the documented AH=62h

this call was undocumented prior to the release of DOS 5.0

AH=26h,AH=50h,AH=62h
