Routines / Accessing Addresses From the Trap Dispatch Tables

GetOSTrapAddress

You can use the GetOSTrapAddress function to access the address of an Operating System routine, that is located in the Operating System trap dispatch table.

FUNCTION GetOSTrapAddress (trapNum: Integer): LongInt;

trapNum

Operating System A-line instruction or a trap number. If you specify an Operating System A-line instruction, the function extracts the trap number for you.

DESCRIPTION

The GetOSTrapAddress function returns the address of the Operating System routine specified by the trapNum parameter. If the desired Operating System routine is not supported on the installed system software, the GetOSTrapAddress function returns the address of the Unimplemented procedure. The trapNum parameter should contain a trap number in bits 0-7. GetOSTrapAddress masks the irrelevant high-order bits.

A GetOSTrapAddress(trapNum) function call performs the same operation as a NGetTrapAddress(trapNum, OSTrap) function call.
