Function 440Bh Set Sharing Retry Count DOS 3.1+
Sets the number of times DOS retries a disk operation after a
failure caused by a file-sharing operation. When the number of
retries is reached without success, DOS returns an error value to
the program that requested the disk operation.
Entry AX = 440Bh
CX = No. of times to execute delay loop between retries
DX = No. of times to retry file operation
Return AX = Error code, if CF is set
| 01h Invalid function
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
This function returns an error value of 1 (invalid function) if
file sharing is not active (SHARE.EXE has not been loaded).
The pause time depends on the computer's clock speed. The default
sharing retry count is 3; the default number of times between
retries is 1. If a program changes the retry count or pause value,
it should restore the default values before terminating.
