INT 21,6C - Extended Open/Create (DOS 4.x+)
AH = 6C
AL = 00
BX = open mode (see below)
CX = file attribute (see FILE ATTRIBUTES, bits 15-8 are zero)
DX = function control indicator (see below)
DS:SI = ASCIIZ filespec
returns:
AX = handle if CF clear
= error code if CF set (see DOS ERROR CODES)
CX = 01 file opened
= 02 file created and opened
= 03 file truncated and opened (replaced)
CF = 0 if successful
= 1 if error
Open Mode in BX:
│F│E│D│C│B│A│9│8│7│6│5│4│3│2│1│0│ BX (Open Mode)
│ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┴─┴──── read/write access mode
│ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └──────── reserve (must be 0)
│ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┴─┴──────── sharing mode
│ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └──────────── 1 = private, 0 = inheritable
│ │ │ └─┴─┴─┴─┴──────────── reserved
│ │ └──────────────────── 0 = call INT 24, 1 = ignore INT 24
│ └──────────────────── 0 = normal write, 1 = flush each write
└──────────────────── reserved
Read/Write Access bits: Sharing Mode bits:
210 654
000 read access 000 compatibility mode
001 write access 001 read/write access
010 read/write access 010 write access denied
011 read access denied

Function Control Indicator in DX:
│F│E│D│C│B│A│9│8│7│6│5│4│3│2│1│0│ DX (Function Control)
│ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┴─┴─┴──── file existence behavior
│ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┴─┴─┴─────────── creation behavior
└─┴─┴─┴─┴─┴─┴─┴────────────────── reserved
File Existence Behavior bits:
3210
0000 if file exist, generate error, take no action
0001 if file exists, open file
0010 if file exists, truncate and open
Creation Behavior bits:
7654
0000 if file does not exist, generate error, take no action
0001 if file does not exist, create
