COM_GETIO()
Determines the base address of a port
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
COM_GETIO(<nComPort>) --> nIOPort
Argument
<nComPort> Designates the port (1 to 4) to which the current I/O
address is delivered.
Returns
COM_GETIO() returns the I/O address of the designated port. With an
invalid parameter or an unavailable port, the function returns a value
of -1.
Description
COM_GETIO() determines with which port I/O address CA-Clipper Tools
functions communicate. This function only returns a value known to
CA-Clipper Tools software. It cannot determine the I/O address of an
interface card!
Examples
. Determine the COM1 I/O address:
? COM_GETIO(1) // 1016
. Specify that you need the address in hexadecimal form:
? NTOC(COM_GETIO(1), 16) // "3F8"
. Specify an invalid port number:
? COM_GETIO(5) // -1
