begin proc near means code example

Example: begin proc near means

BEGIN PROC NEAR ;The directives PROC and ENDP are used to define a label for a 
			   ;sequence of machine instructions called a procedure. 
               
               ;NEAR: Defines a near procedure.
               
               ;A near call refers a procedure which is in the same code segment.
               
               ;It is also called Inter-segment call A Near Call replaces the old
               ;IP with new IP.
               
               ;The call instruction calls near procedures using a full pointer.
               ;call rel{16|32} adds a signed offset to address of the instruction 
               ;following the call instruction to determine the destination; 
               ;that is, the displacement is relative to the next instruction.
               
               ;PROC directive stores the contents of the register in the stack.
               ;The directive is used along with the name of the procedure to 
               ;indicate the end of a procedure to the assembler. The directive, 
               ;together with the procedure directive, PROC, is used to “bracket” 
               ;a procedure.
