out16s()

Write words to a port

Synopsis:

#include <hw/inout.h>

void * out16s( const void * buff,
               unsigned len,
               uintptr_t port );

Arguments:

val: A pointer to a buffer that holds the values that you want to write.
len: The number of values that you want to write.
port: The port you want to write the values to.

Library:

libc

Use the -l c option to qcc to link against this library. This library is usually included automatically.

Description:

The out16s() function writes len words from the buffer pointed to by buff to the specified port.

The calling process must use mmap_device_io() to access the device's I/O registers.

On x86 and x86_64 targets, the process must have the PROCMGR_AID_IO ability enabled, and the calling thread must have I/O privileges, or else it will fault with a SIGSEGV; see procmgr_ability(), and the ThreadCtl() _NTO_TCTL_IO command.

Returns:

A pointer to the end of the written data.
