repinsb(D3)

repinsb -- read bytes from I/O port to buffer

Synopsis

   #include <sys/types.h>
   #include <sys/ddi.h>
   
   void repinsb(int port, uchar_t *addr, int cnt);

Description

The repinsb function provides a C language interface to the machine instructions that read a string of bytes from an 8 bit I/O port using the I/O address space, instead of the memory address space. The data from cnt reads of the I/O port is stored in the data buffer pointed to by addr.

Arguments

port: A valid 8 bit I/O port.
addr: The address of the buffer where data is stored after cnt reads of the I/O port.
cnt: The number of bytes to be read from the I/O port.

Return values

None

Usage

The data buffer should be at least cnt bytes in length.

Context and synchronization
