DPMI Error Codes
The DPMI specification (DPMI API) defines the following error/return
codes. When a DPMI fn fails, it returns with the carry flag set and an
error code in AX.
If bit 15 of AX is clear, then AX contains an error code returned by a DOS
fn (see DOS Error Codes).
If bit 15 of AX is set, then AX contains one of the following DPMI error
codes:
0000H DPMI_NO_ERR (and CY clear) Fn was successful.
8001H DPMI_ERR_BAD_FN Fn number is not supported by this host.
8002H DPMI_ERR_INVALID_STATE Some object is in the wrong state for the
requested operation.
8003H DPMI_ERR_SYS_INTEGRITY The operation would endanger system
integrity.
8004H DPMI_ERR_DEADLOCK Host detected a deadlock situation.
8005H DPMI_ERR_REQ_CANCELLED Pending serialization request was
cancelled.
8010H DPMI_ERR_RSRC_UNAVAIL Host unable to allocate internal resources
to satisfy the request.
8011H DPMI_ERR_DESCRP_UNAVAIL Unable to allocate a descriptor.
8012H DPMI_ERR_LINMEM_UNAVAIL Unable to allocate linear memory
8013H DPMI_ERR_PHYSMEM_UNAVAIL Unable to allocate physical memory
8014H DPMI_ERR_BACKING_UNAVAIL Unable to allocate required backing store.
8015H DPMI_ERR_CALLBACK_UNAVAIL Unable to allocate callback address.
8016H DPMI_ERR_HANDLE_UNAVAIL Unable to allocate handle.
8017H DPMI_ERR_LOCK_CNT Locking operation exceeds the maximum
value maintained by the host.
8018H DPMI_ERR_RSRC_OWNED_EXCL Request for serialized access denied
because the resource is owned exclusively
by another client.
8019H DPMI_ERR_RSRC_OWNED_SHRD Request for serialized access denied
because the resource is already serialized
shared by another client.
8021H DPMI_ERR_INVALID_VALUE A numeric or flag value was invalid.
8022H DPMI_ERR_INVALID_SELECTOR A selector was invalid.
8023H DPMI_ERR_INVALID_HANDLE A handle was invalid.
8024H DPMI_ERR_INVALID_CALLBACK A callback parameter was invalid.
8025H DPMI_ERR_INVALID_LINADDR A linear address (either supplied as a
parameter or implied by the request) was
invalid.
8026H DPMI_ERR_INVALID_REQUEST The request is not supported by the
underlying hardware.
