BIOS interrupt calls are a facility that DOS programs and some other software, such as boot loaders, use to invoke the facilities of the Basic Input/Output System on IBM PC compatible computers. Some operating systems also use the BIOS to probe and initialize hardware resources during their early stages of booting.
