DOS/32 Advanced DOS Extender - Programmer's Reference 2.09 - DPMI function 000Ah - Create Alias Descriptor Creates a new data descriptor that has the same base and limit as the specified descriptor.
In: | AX = 000Ah BX = selector
Out: | if successful: CF clear AX = data selector (alias) if failed: CF set AX = error code 8011h - descriptor unavailable 8022h - invalid selector
Notes: a) The selector supplied to the function may be either a data selector or an executable selector. The created alias selector will always be a writeable data selector. b) The descriptor alias returned by this function will not track changes to the original descriptor. In other words, if an alias is created with this function, and the base or limit of the original segment is then changed, the two descriptors will no longer map the same memory.
