Parameters

Drive

Specifies the drive for which the access flag is to be retrieved (0 = default drive, 1 = A, 2 = B, and so on).

DeviceCat

Specifies a FAT16, FAT12 or FAT32 drive.

08h	FAT32, FAT16, or FAT12 drive.
48h	FAT32, FAT16, or FAT12 drive. This value is supported on Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2 and later.

Note: Because this call may be implemented in the device driver, the 48h form of this call may fail on FAT16 or FAT12 media. Therefore, applications making the 48h form of this call must fall back on the 08h form if the 48h call fails.

SpecialFunc

Points to a SPECIALFUNC structure that receives the state of the access flag. The SPECIALFUNC structure has the following form:

SPECIALFUNC STRUC
    sfFunction  db  0   ;special function (must be 0)
    sfAccessFlg db  ?   ;access flag, 0 if access blocked
                        ;"unformatted"
SPECIALFUNC ENDS

Return Values

If the function is successful, clears the carry flag. Otherwise, sets the carry flag and sets the AX register to one of the following error values.

Remarks

Get Access Flag returns 0002h (ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND) if the specified drive number is invalid.
