outl(D3) outl(D3)
NAME
outl - write a 32 bit long word to a 32 bit I/O port
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/ddi.h>
#include <sys/f_ddi.h>
void outl(int port, ulong_t data);
Arguments
port A valid 32 bit I/O port.
data The 32 bit value to be written to the port.
DESCRIPTION
The outl function provides a C language interface to the
machine instruction that writes a 32 bit long word to an 32
bit I/O port using the I/O address space, instead of the
memory address space.
Return Values
None
USAGE
This function may not be meaningful on all implementations
because some implementations may not support I/O-mapped I/O
(direct I/O instructions). On Intel860 systems, I/O is mapped
to memory (memory-mapped I/O). Therefore, on Intel860
systems, a port is not really an I/O port, but rather a memory
pointer that points to the memory-mapped I/O location. The
port argument is similar to a token that can represent a 16-
bit address for the I/O port for Intel386 systems or a 32-bit
memory address for Intel860 systems.
Level
Initialization, Base or Interrupt.
Synchronization Constraints
Does not sleep.
Driver-defined basic locks, read/write locks, and sleep locks
may be held across calls to this function.
