#define INCL_DOSMEMMGR
 
USHORT DosGetHugeShift(pusShiftCount)
PUSHORT pusShiftCount;    /* pointer to variable receiving shift count */
 
The DosGetHugeShift function retrieves the shift count used to compute the
segment-selector offset for huge memory segments. (Huge memory segments are
allocated by using the DosAllocHuge function.) The shift count represents a
multiple of two, so the segment-selector offset is equal to the value 1
shifted left by the shift count. For example, the segment-selector offset is
eight if the shift count is three.
 
The DosGetHugeShift function is a family API function.
 
Parameter      Description
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
pusShiftCount  Points to the variable that receives the shift count.
 
Return Value
 
The return value is zero if the function is successful. Otherwise, it is an
error value.
