|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
Retro provides three words for interacting with I/O. These are:
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
<tt class='indentedcode'>io:enumerate returns the number of attached devices</tt>
|
|
<tt class='indentedcode'>io:query returns information about a device</tt>
|
|
<tt class='indentedcode'>io:invoke invokes an interaction with a device</tt>
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
As an example, with an implementation providing an output source,
|
|
a block storage system, and keyboard:
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
<tt class='indentedcode'>io:enumerate will return `3` since there are three</tt>
|
|
<tt class='indentedcode'> i/o devices</tt>
|
|
<tt class='indentedcode'>#0 io:query will return 0 0, since the first device</tt>
|
|
<tt class='indentedcode'> is a screen (type 0) with a version of 0</tt>
|
|
<tt class='indentedcode'>#1 io:query will return 1 3, since the second device is</tt>
|
|
<tt class='indentedcode'> block storage (type 3), with a version of 1</tt>
|
|
<tt class='indentedcode'>#2 io:query will return 0 1, since the last device is a</tt>
|
|
<tt class='indentedcode'> keyboard (type 1), with a version of 0</tt>
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
In this case, some interactions can be defined:
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
<tt class='indentedcode'>:c:put #0 io:invoke ;</tt>
|
|
<tt class='indentedcode'>:c:get #2 io:invoke ;</tt>
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
Setup the stack, push the device ID, and then use <span class="tt">io:invoke</span>
|
|
to invoke the interaction.
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
A Retro system requires one I/O device (a generic output for a
|
|
single character). This must be the first device, and must have
|
|
a device ID of 0.
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
All other devices are optional and can be specified in any
|
|
order.
