The Get_Profile_Decimal_Int service returns the value of a decimal-number
entry in the SYSTEM.INI file. The Profile and Keyname parameters specify the
section and entry to search for.
 
This service is only available during initialization.
 
Parameter  Description
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
Default    Specifies the default value to return if the entry is not found
           or has no current value.
 
Profile    Specifies a null-terminated string identifying the section in the
           SYSTEM.INI file to search. If Profile is zero, the service
           searches the [386Enh] section.
 
Keyname    Points to a null-terminated string identifying the name of the
           entry to search for.
 
Return Value
 
If the carry and zero flags are clear, the specified entry is found and is a
valid decimal number. In this case, the EAX register is set to the value of
the number.
 
If the carry flag is clear and the zero flag is set, the specified entry
exists but has no corresponding value. If the carry flag is set, the entry
cannot be found or the entry does not represent a valid decimal number. In
these cases, the EAX register is set to the Default value.
 
Comments
 
A valid decimal number consists of one or more decimal digits and contains
no embedded spaces or decimal points. The decimal number can be preceded
with a plus sign (+) or minus sign (-) to indicate a positive or negative
number, respectively.
