FLAGS The use of -> instead of = signifies that the indicated register or register pair contains a pointer to the specified item, rather than the item itself. One or more letters may follow the interrupt number; they have the following meanings: U - undocumented function, u - partially documented function, P - available only in protected mode, R - available only in real or V86 mode, C - callout or callback (usually hooked rather than called), O - obsolete (no longer present in current versions) .
