(out of date ; should updated for rsx4)


There are some diffences between EMX(under DOS) and RSX(under DPMI).
Also some things are not implemented in one version.

"emx" below means EMX-0.8 under DOS, not OS/2

AX=7F00H sbrk()
AX=7F01H brk()
    both:
	only positive values are allowed ( < EMX0.8h)
	libc-malloc returns NULL, if user has called brk,sbrk

AX=7F02H ulimit()
    both:
	command code must be 3 ( return greatest possible break_value )

AX=7F03H vmstat()
    rsx:
	cannot used (EMX internal)

AX=7F04H umask1()
    both:
	file permission mask is not used

AX=7F05H getpid()

AX=7F06H spawnve()
    both:
	P_SESSION, P_DETACH cannot used.
	command line is restricted to 128 characters
    rsx:
	all programs get the environment from father process
	P_OVERLAY (RM programs) close the EMX program
    emx:
	real-mode programs get environment from EMX
	P_OVERLAY not allowed for RM programs.

AX=7F08H ptrace()
    both:
	PTRACE_TRACEME, PTRACE_SESSION ignored
    rsx:
	FP-status not implemented yet

AX=7F09H wait()
    both:
	wait() returns immediately (no multitasking)
    emx:
	wait() is currently implemented only for processes being debugged
	and for synchronous processes started with P_NOWAIT

AX=7F0AH emxversion()
    rsx:
	DPMI flag, 387 flag, -ac flag are always true

AX=7F0BH memavail()
    rsx:
	this value includes virtual memory

AX=7F0CH signal()

AX=7F0DH kill()
    emx:
	it does not switch processes
    rsx:
	kill switch programs (only to children)

AX=7F0EH raise()
    emx:
	core dump file will be created unless the -c emx option is used
    rsx:
	no core file

AX=7F0FH uflags()
    rsx:
	cannot used

AX=7F10H unwind()

AX=7F11H core()
    rsx:
	not implemented

AX=7F12H portaccess()
    emx:
	-ai option must be used to enable _portaccess
    rsx:
	DPMI-server must support a port access
	option -ai ignored, _portaccess enabled

AX=7F13H memaccess()
    both:
	the -am option must be used to enable _memaccess
    rsx:
	very dangerous, DPMI-server must catch access to A0000H-BFFFFH

AX=7F14H ioctl2()

AX=7F15H alarm()  Set alarm clock
    rsx:
	SIGALRM will only be raised after a int 0x21

AX=7F16H emx internal

AX=7F17H sleep()

AX=7F18H chsize()

AX=7F19H fcntl()
    both:
	O_NDELAY is only implemented for handle 0 (keyboard)
	O_GETFD and O_SETFD are not implemented under DOS

AX=7F1AH pipe()
    both:
	not implemented under DOS

AX=7F1BH fsync()
	not implemented under DOS

AX=7F1CH fork()
    emx:
	not implemented under DOS
    rsx:
	fork() switch to child, parent stopped (like P_WAIT)

registers at start:
    emx:
	CS = 10H
	DS = ES = SS = FS = GS = 17H
	ESP = stack, EIP = entry point

    rsx:
	CS = DPMI-selector ( code segment )
	DS = ES = FS = DPMI-selector = CS + 8 ( data segment )
	SS = DPMI-selector = CS + 16 ( special expand-down stack segment)
	   CS,DS,ES,FS have the same linear base address.
	GS = selector to first megabyte (DOS memory)
	ESP = stack, EIP = entry point
	others = 0
