A near pointer is 16 bits long. It uses the current content of the CS (code segment) register

(if

the pointer is pointing to code) or current contents of DS (data segment) register (if the pointer is

pointing to data) for the segment part, the offset part is stored in a 16 bit near pointer. Using near

pointer limits the data/code to 64kb segment.
