BBC->FAQ->API->OSBGET Search

 6502  Z80  PDP11  80x86  32016  ARM On entry: On exit:
A A R0ALR1R0-  returned byte
Y H R1AHR2R1file handle preserved
CyCyCyCyCyCy-  Carry set if after EOF

If the byte read is after the end of file, the carry flag is set on exit and the EOF-error-flag is set. After the EOF byte has been read, the next read produces an error. An error is generated if the object is a directory or doesn't have read access.
