.Sh NAME

.Nm ppi
|
|
.Nd "user-space interface to ppbus parallel 'geek' port"
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "device ppi"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Minor numbering: unit numbers correspond directly to ppbus numbers.

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides a convenient means for user applications to manipulate the
|
|
state of the parallel port, enabling easy low-speed I/O operations without
|
|
the security problems inherent with the use of the
|
|
.Pa /dev/io
|
|
interface.
|
|
.Sh PROGRAMMING INTERFACE
|
|
All I/O on the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
interface is performed using
|
|
.Fn ioctl
|
|
calls.
|
|
Each command takes a single
|
|
.Ft u_int8_t
|
|
argument, transferring one byte of data.
|
|
The following commands are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Dv PPIGDATA , PPISDATA
|
|
Get and set the contents of the data register.
|
|
.It Dv PPIGSTATUS , PPISSTATUS
|
|
Get and set the contents of the status register.
|
|
.It Dv PPIGCTRL , PPISCTRL
|
|
Get and set the contents of the control register.
|
|
The following defines correspond to bits in this register.
|
|
Setting a bit in the control register drives the corresponding output low.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent -compact
|
|
.It Dv STROBE
|
|
.It Dv AUTOFEED
|
|
.It Dv nINIT
|
|
.It Dv SELECTIN
|
|
.It Dv PCD
|
|
.El
|
|
.It Dv PPIGEPP , PPISEPP
|
|
Get and set the contents of the EPP control register.
|
|
.It Dv PPIGECR , PPISECR
|
|
Get and set the contents of the ECP control register.
|
|
.It Dv PPIGFIFO , PPISFIFO
|
|
Read and write the ECP FIFO (8-bit operations only).
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
To present the value 0x5a to the data port, drive STROBE low and then high
|
|
again, the following code fragment can be used:
|
|
.Bd -literal -compact
|
|
|
|
int fd;
|
|
u_int8_t val;
|
|
|
|
val = 0x5a;
|
|
ioctl(fd, PPISDATA, &val);
|
|
ioctl(fd, PPIGCTRL, &val);
|
|
val |= STROBE;
|
|
ioctl(fd, PPISCTRL, &val);
|
|
val &= ~STROBE;
|
|
ioctl(fd, PPISCTRL, &val);
|
|
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The inverse sense of signals is confusing.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn ioctl
|
|
interface is slow, and there is no way (yet) to chain multiple operations together.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The headers required for user applications are not installed as part of the
|
|
standard system.
