TC: int absread( int drive, int count, int start, void *buffer )
- prototype in dos.h - reads absolute logical disk sectors - drive = (0=A:, 1=B:, 2=C:, ...) - count = # of sectors to read - start = beginning logical sector number - buffer = address of buffer - TC++ accounts for DOS 4.x+ long sector values while TC 2.0 and earlier do not (see INT 25) - returns 0 if OK; -1 on error; errno has DOS error number
