Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

  Argument
 
    state    Boolean variable receiving the current state of DOS
             CTRL+BREAK checking
 
  Description
 
    The GetCBreak procedure gets the current state of DOS CTRL+BREAK
    checking.
 
    If the state is True, DOS checks for CTRL+BREAK at each system
    call. If the state is False, DOS checks for CTRL+BREAK only during
    I/O to or from communication, console, or printer devices.
 
    Use the SetCBreak procedure to change the state of DOS CTRL+BREAK
    checking.
 
    CTRL+BREAK checking remains in the current state until changed by
    SetCBreak or the DOS command BREAK. It does not change when the
    program ends.
 
    GetCBreak does not use the variable CheckBreak, defined in the Crt
    unit.
