DOS Fn 5f04H: Delete Network Connection
Compatibility: 3.1+
Expects: AX 5f04H
DS:SI addr of ASCIIZ▲ device name to disconnect
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Returns: AX error code if CF is set to CY
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Info: Deletes the connection between a local drive ID or device name
and the network. The specified device reverts to its original
(local) meaning.
The string at DS:SI can be one of:
■ The drive letter of a redirected drive, followed by a colon
(e.g., "D:",0). This discontinues local access to that network
drive and the drive ID reverts to it local meaning.
■ The name of a printer (e.g., "LPT1",0). This discontinues
local access to that network printer and that device name
reverts to its local meaning as a physical device.
■ A string starting with 2 backslashes (e.g.,
"\\SERVER\FILES",0). This would be used when a null drive ID
was used when the connection was made (see fn 5f03H).
Notes: ■ Network redirection is normally handled by system-level
utilities rather than application programs.
