Your question isn't about C or C++, its about MSDOS. Therefore I suggest you
ask in an MSDOS programming NG, for instance news:comp.os.msdos.programmer.

Why isn't this obvious? comp.lang.c++ gets hundreds of posts like this every
day, believe it or not the C++ language exists independently of MSDOS,
Windows or any other particular type of machine.

How could C or C++ have such a build-in function? Those languages are both
designed to be platform independent. Of course, some specific extension
supplied by your implementation of the language (aka the compiler dedicated
to your platform) could help you for your platform.

Specific to PC information:
news:comp.sys.pc.programmer
