Description

SLDT stores the Local Descriptor Table Register (LDTR) in the two-byte register or memory location indicated by the effective address operand. This register is a selector that points into the Global Descriptor Table.

SLDT is used only in operating system software. It is not used in application programs.

Real Address Mode Exceptions

Interrupt 6; SLDT is not recognized in Real Address Mode

Virtual 8086 Mode Exceptions
