IN: BHL = pointer to null-terminated filename (B = 0, local)
CDE = pointer to null-terminated arguments string, optional (C = 0, local always and DE < $2000 in OS stack)
A = execution mode (A0=0: execute, A0=1:debug)
OUT: Fc = 0, success
Fc = 1, failure and A = error
Registers affected after return:
AFBCDEHL depends on ELF execution
IXIY changed by the call |
Notes
This call is the main interface to execute an ELF file. It is used by the Shell application to execute an ELF program (in this case Z80 relocatable code, loaded into any available space of RAM and executed). Any code can execute an Elf program, from anywhere. Argument string is actually limited to the stack space (C=0 and DE < $2000).
If the program has no need of arguments, simply let CDE point to a null-terminator (0).
