linux - Simple way to Get filesize in x86 Assembly Language -

-

assuming have opened file in assembly , have file handle file in register eax. how go getting size of file can allocate enough buffer space it?

i researched discussion here suggested using sys_fstat(28) system call file stats couldn't implement it...

#my attempt @ getting file size  _test:  movl    filehandle, %ebx  #move filehandle (file descriptor) ebx         movl    $28, %eax         #fstat syscall         int $0x80             # end -14 in here not sure why

here how implemented in freshlib. wrapper in order provide portability. can simplify of course (see below). 

  struct stat     .st_dev     dw  ?     ; id of device containing file     .pad1       dw  ?     .st_ino     dd  ?     ; inode number     .st_mode    dw  ?     ; protection     .st_nlink   dw  ?     ; number of hard links     .st_uid     dw  ?     ; user id of owner     .st_gid     dw  ?     ; group id of owner     .st_rdev    dw  ?     ; device id (if special file)     .pad2       dw  ?     .st_size    dd  ?     ; total size, in bytes     .st_blksize dd  ?     ; block size     .st_blocks  dd  ?      .st_atime   dd  ?     ; time of last access     .unused1    dd  ?      .st_mtime   dd  ?     ; time of last modification     .unused2    dd  ?      .st_ctime   dd  ?     ; time of last status change     .unused3    dd  ?     .unused4    dd  ?     .unused5    dd  ?   ends    sys_newfstat =  $6c    proc filesize, .handle   .stat stat   begin           push    edx ecx ebx            mov     eax, sys_newfstat           mov     ebx, [.handle]           lea     ecx, [.stat]           int     $80            cmp     eax, -1           jle     .error            mov     eax, [.stat.st_size]           clc           pop     ebx ecx edx           return    .error:           neg     eax       ; error code           stc           pop     ebx ecx edx           return   endp

the minimal version can way (much less readable , not thread safe):

  ; argument: file handle in ebx   ; returns:  size in edx; error code in eax   filesize:           mov     eax, $6c           mov     ecx, file_stat           int     $80           mov     edx, [file_stat+$14]           retn    file_stat rd $10

PHPMotion implementation - URL based videos (Hosted on separate location) -

i have implement video collection website users of specific isp. site hosted on public web-server movies hosted on local isp server. user of isp + general visitors can see available movies; isp's users able play them. player on site point url of local machine ( http://192.x.x.x/movies/mymovie.mov ) private class (192.x.x.x) accessible isp user. question: possible phpmotion script? or need custom work. if possible, can please suggest available mods? phpmotion require modifications able handle this. uploading, conversion, thumbnail generation, , playback pretty static in phpmotion. really though, rather modding entire upload , conversion process, if created quick custom form add entries phpmotion database (maybe include thumbnail upload), tweaked playback paths, should go on phpmotion side of things. assume had videos in format player handle (such flv or mp4).

javascript - Using Windows Media Player as video fallback for video tag -

getting video play cross platform using example video.js bit of fuss. in days when video should embedded use embed windows media player, work out of box on windows. since it's today old ie on windows doesn't support video tag experimented using windows media player fallback, , work well. what wonder here is, why haven't else solution? have missed something? code small, there's no flash files, cross domain issues or need of server working. works. so before develop further , add custom control , subtitles support wonder say. the code looks this: <video id="myvideo" style="width:640px; height: 360px;" autoplay data-wimpsource="http://esd.volvocars.com/dc/cdn/video/birds-on-a-wire.mp4"> <source src="http://esd.volvocars.com/dc/cdn/video/birds-on-a-wire.mp4" type="video/mp4" /> <source src="http://esd.volvocars.com/dc/cdn/video/birds-on-a-wire.webm" type="video/webm" />
