Description

Sets the address of the protected mode handler for an interrupt.

Parameters:

vector

number of protected mode interrupt to set.

intaddr

selector:offset address to the interrupt vector.

Return values: True if successful, False otherwise.

Errors

Example

{ This example shows how to redirect a software interrupt by
changing the protected mode handler of the DPMI host.

In more detail it hooks interrupt 1Ch which is called every
time the timer interrupt (int 08) is executed. This is the
preferred way to hook the timer, because int 1Ch is a software
interrupt which doesn't need so much initialization stuff
compared to hooking a hardware interrupt.
