Reads a double word (4 bytes) from the specified hardware port
#include <nwconio.h>
unsigned int inpd (
int port);
(IN) Specifies the hardware port.
The value returned is the double word that was read.
The inpd function reads a double word (4 bytes) from the hardware port whose number is given by port.
A hardware port is used to communicate with a device. One to 4 bytes can be read and/or written from each port, depending on the hardware. Consult the technical documentation for your computer in order to determine the port numbers for a device and the expected usage of each port for a device.
#include <nwconio.h> #define DEVICE 34 main () { unsigned int transmitted; transmitted=inpd (DEVICE); }
