Имя (Name)

vm86old, vm86 - enter virtual 8086 mode

---

Синопсис (Synopsis)

#include <sys/vm86.h>

       int vm86old(struct vm86_struct *info);
       int vm86(unsigned long fn, struct vm86plus_struct *v86);

Описание (Description)

The system call vm86() was introduced in Linux 0.97p2.  In Linux
       2.1.15 and 2.0.28, it was renamed to vm86old(), and a new vm86()
       was introduced.  The definition of struct vm86_struct was changed
       in 1.1.8 and 1.1.9.

       These calls cause the process to enter VM86 mode (virtual-8086 in
       Intel literature), and are used by dosemu.

       VM86 mode is an emulation of real mode within a protected mode
       task.

Возвращаемое значение (Return value)

On success, zero is returned.  On error, -1 is returned, and
       errno is set to indicate the error.

---

Ошибки (Error)

EFAULT This return value is specific to i386 and indicates a
              problem with getting user-space data.

       ENOSYS This return value indicates the call is not implemented on
              the present architecture.

       EPERM  Saved kernel stack exists.  (This is a kernel sanity
              check; the saved stack should exist only within vm86 mode
              itself.)

Стандарты (Conforming to)

This call is specific to Linux on 32-bit Intel processors, and
       should not be used in programs intended to be portable.
