mov     esi, OFFSET32 String        ; points to string to write
VMMcall Out_Mono_String
 
The Out_Mono_String service writes the specified null-terminated string to
the secondary display. If the string contains register placeholders,
Out_Mono_String replaces these with the actual register values (in
hexadecimal), or the symbolic label nearest to the specified addresses.
 
Parameter  Description
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
String     Points to a null-terminated string specifying the message to
           write to the debugging device. Out_Mono_String uses the lods
           instruction to process characters in the string, so the DS
           register must specify the correct segment selector for the
           string.
 
           The string can contain one or more placeholders having the
           following forms:
 
           Placeholder         Description
           ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
           #register           Displays the current value of the specified
                               register. For example, the service replaces
                               #AX with the value of the AX register. The
                               register must not be the name of a segment
                               register.
 
           ?register           Displays the label nearest the address
                               specified by the registers. For example, the
                               service replaces ?EAX with the VMM code
                               segment label nearest the address in the EAX
                               register. The register must not be the name
                               of a segment register.
 
           ?register:register  Displays the label nearest the address
                               specified by the registers. For example, the
                               service replaces ?AX:EBX with the label in
                               the segment specified by the AX register that
                               is nearest to the address in the EBX
                               register. The register must not be the name
                               of a segment register.
