DOS 4.x only - GET EXTENDED ATTRIBUTES FOR FILE

AX = 5702h
BX = file handle
CX = size of result buffer or 0000h
DS:SI -> EAP list (see #01667)
ES:DI -> buffer for returned EAV list (see #01670)

Return:
CF clear if successful CX = size of returned data CF set on error AX = error code (see #01680)

Desc: Get the current value of one or more extended attributes

Notes: If CX=0000h on entry, ES:DI is ignored and no data is actually returned, only the amount of data which is available. The default DOS 4 behavior is to return a single word of 0000h (no structures) in the result buffer if CX>=0002h on entry; this functionality was apparently never released to the public
