mov ax, 0000h ; Get_Profile_String call cs:[ecx] ; points to service entry point passed to ; real-mode initialization procedure |
The Get_Profile_String service searches the SYSTEM.INI file for the specified entry, and returns a pointer to a string.
This service is available only with Windows version 3.1 or later.
AX
Must be 0000h.
DS:SI
Points to a null-terminated string specifying the name of the section to search. If the SI register is zero, the service searches the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file.
DS:DI
Points to a null-terminated string specifying the name of the setting to search for.
ES:DX
Points to null-terminated string specifying the default value if the requested setting is not found.
If the carry flag is clear, the ES:DX register pair contains the address of a null-terminated string representing the value of the requested setting. Otherwise, the register pair points to the default string.
The real-mode initialization procedure must not modify the returned string. The address returned points to the initialization file data area and is read only.
