getDS

Usage

   #include <io.h>
   int getDS(void);

Description

   getDS returns the value of the data segment register.

   In the X and P memory models, getDS returns the actual value in the DS
   register. This will be the protected mode segment selector. This is not
   the base address of DGROUP. You should use __X386_get_abs_addr() to find
   DGROUP.

Example 

   #include <stdio.h>
   #include <io.h>
   #include <stdlib.h>

   int main()
   {
       unsigned int data_seg;
       data_seg = getDS();
       printf("The current contents of DS are %x\n",
   data_seg);

       return EXIT_SUCCESS;
   }

Return Value

   The current value in the data segment register DS is returned.
