PsiFS: SWI Calls

PsiFS_Get

PsiFS_Get
(SWI &520C3)
Read a PsiFS option or status value

On entry:R0 =option or status value to read
If the value specified by R0 is a string
R1 =pointer to buffer to contain null terminated string value
R2 =size of buffer

On exit:If the value specified by R0 is numeric
R1 =value of the option
If the value specified by R0 is a string
R2 = number of spare bytes in the buffer including the null terminator, i.e.:
R2 > 0implies there are (R2-1) completely unused bytes in the buffer; so R2=1 implies there are 0 unused bytes in the buffer, and therefore the terminator just fitted
R2 < 1implies there are (1-R2) too many bytes to fit in the buffer, which has consequently not been filled in; so R2=0 implies there is 1 byte too many - the terminator - to fit in the buffer

Interrupts:Interrupt status is undefined
Fast interrupts are enabled

Processor mode:Processor is in SVC mode

Re-entrancy:SWI is not re-entrant

Use: This call reads a PsiFS option or status value. An error may be returned if an attempt is made to read the value of an option that is meaningless for the current mode of operation.

The values that may be read are:
R0TypeOption
&0numericmode of operation

&1012numericlanguage of the remote machine
&1018numericmajor version of the remote machine operating system
&1019numericminor version of the remote machine operating system
&101Anumericbuild of remote machine operating system
&1020numericlow word of the unique identifier of the remote machine
&1021numerichigh word of the unique identifier of the remote machine
&1030stringowner information of the remote machine
&11xxnumericstatus of the specified remote drive
&12xxstringname of the specified remote drive
&13xxnumericunique identifier of the specified remote drive
&1800numericstatus of the main battery
&1801numericvoltage of the main battery
&1802numericmaximum voltage of the main battery
&1810numericstatus of the backup battery
&1811numericvoltage of the backup battery
&1812numericmaximum voltage of the backup battery
&1820numericstatus of external power
&2000numericstatus of the printer mirror
&2001stringname of the printer mirror destination

If a string value is specified this may be used as a two-pass process:

  1. On entry, set R0 to specify the value to read, and R1 and R2 (the pointer to, and the size of, the buffer) to zero. On exit, R2 = -(length of string)
  2. Claim a buffer of the right size (1-R2, not just -R2, as a space is needed for the terminator). On entry, ensure that R0 still specifies the value to read, that R1 is set to point to the buffer, and R2 contains the lenght of the buffer. On exit the buffer should be filled in, and R2 should be 1; but check to make sure.
