     - System Management Application Program Interface driver
    
     
    

    DESCRIPTION

    Many IBM Thinkpad laptops utilize a special software interface known as SMAPI (System Management Application Program Interface). This interface controls various aspects of the system including:

    Client software must locate a ``header image'' stored in the F000 segment in the Thinkpad ROM (read-only memory), which resides at the 16-byte boundary. This is considered the ``Entry Point'' for the service.

    The ``header image'' stores information like:

    To invoke the SMAPI BIOS a far-call must be used on the entry point specified in the header file. All other information should be stored in the client data area. The client is required to prepare both an input and output parameter in a data area of its own. This area can be ``informed'' by pushing those pointers into its stack before the far-calls.

    The SMAPI BIOS uses the stack and data areas with the selector during a BIOS invocation, thus the caller must define the same privilege area as the BIOS

    The parameter structure will be made up by using the input and output fields prepared by the caller. The input field will specify the function request to the BIOS The BIOS will then drop a return value into the output field. These fields are made up of three parts. The first holds parameters, function numbers, and return codes. The next will contain an offset in hexadecimal. Finally a length field which is comprised of Byte, Word, or Double Word.
