Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     If reading from a character device (such as the standard input) in
     cooked mode, at most one line of input will be read (up to a
     carriage return character or the specified length, whichever comes
     first).
 
     If the carry flag is returned clear but AX = 0, then the file
     pointer was already at end-of-file when the program requested the
     read.
 
     If the carry flag is returned clear but AX < CX, then a partial
     record was read at end of file or there is an error.
 
     [Version 3.0+]
     If the program is running on a network, the user must have Read
     access rights to the directory and file.
