 being opened or created.

     rStatus  On exit, the driver must place a DevStatusWord here.  Always
              set the Done bit (bit 8).  On an error, set the Done bit and
              the Error bit (bit 15) and put a Device Error Code in the low
              byte.

   Notes: ■ Only drivers capable of device Open/Close-processing need
            support this request (see Device Attribute bit 11).

          ■ DOS uses this request whenever an application opens or creates
            a file or opens a device (fn 3dH) and DOS issues DvRq 0eH
            (Device Close) when the device or file gets closed (fn 3eH).

            Drivers supporting this request can uses these fns to help with
            maintenance of internal buffers, etc.

            Character devices (such as PRN drivers) can watch for Open
            requests and send control data to the device (such as font
            downloads) when it is opened after being closed.  In that
            scenario, the driver should also accept DvRq 03H and DvRq 0cH
            (IOCTL fns) in order to provide a means to receive download
            data from applications.
