Int 21H, AH=46H
Version
2 and higher
Brief
“DUP2”, “FORCEDUP” - FORCE DUPLICATE FILE HANDLE
Family API
Input
AH = 46h BX = file handle CX = file handle to become duplicate of first handle
Return
CF clear if successful
CF set on error
AX = error code (04h,06h) (see #01680 at AH=59h/BX=0000h)
Notes
closes file with handle CX if it is still open
DOS 3.30 hangs if BX=CX on entry
moving file pointer for either handle will also move it for the other,
because both will refer to the same system file table
