5.2.3 ** I/O Trap #3

 

 
iob.test IO.PEND 3 / 0  
Test for pending Input
  IN:   OUT:  
A1 A1 smashed
 
ERR.NC -1
ERR.EF -10
 

 
iob.fbyt IO.Fbyte 1 / 3  
Fetch a byte
  IN:   OUT:  
D1 fetched byte
A1 smashed
 
ERR.NC -1
ERR.EF -10
D1 (mostly) remains unchanged after an error.
 

 
iob.flin IO.FLINE 3 / 2  
fetches a line of characters delimited by <NL> to a buffer
  IN:   OUT:  
D1.W count of received characters
D2.W length of buffer
A1 address of buffer A1 Ptr beyond last character
 
ERR.NC -1
ERR.EF -10
ERR.BO -5
Timeout valid until completion of the entire process - re IO.EDLIN.
With CON channels the characters will be echoed to screen and can be editted.
A delimiting <NL> which lead to termination is included in the D1 count word.
D1 remains unchanged if an error occurred, or returns with the until then fetched number of characters being accumulated (ERR.NC).
 

 
iob.fmul IO.FSTRG 3 / 3  
 fetches a String
  IN:   OUT:  
D1 (s. IO.FLINE) D1.W Anzahl received character 
D2.W length of buffer
A1 address of buffer A1 Ptr beyond last character
 
ERR.NC -1
ERR.EF -10

 
iob.elin IO.EDLIN 3 / 4  
editting a line (CON_ only) 
  IN:    OUT:  
D1 Cursor.W | line length.W D1 Cursor.W | line length.W
D2.W length of buffer
A1 Ptr to line end A1 Ptr to line end
 
ERR.NC -1
ERR.BO -5
The string may not contain any <NL> characters.
<CTRL/J>, <ENTER>, Cursor up or Cursor down are the input delimiting or output terminating characters.
MINERVA 1.97+ enable wrapped multiple lines editting, where only <ENTER> or <CTR/J> will terminate.
D1.hi.w refers to where the string display shall beginn;
the delimiting character does not count for the string length.
The timeout if non zero and not endless spans the entire editting process, i.e. the call will terminate after timing out regardless of the string actually being editted.
 

 
iob.sbyt IO.Sbyte 3 / 5  
Send a byte
  IN:   OUT:  
D1.B byte to send D1 smashed
A1 A1 smashed

iob.suml IOB.SUML 3 / 6 SQ only 
Send a group character, always un-TRAnslated
iob.smul IO.SSTRG 3 / 7  
Send a group of characters 
  IN:   OUT:  
D1.W count of chars sent
D2.W no. of characters D2
A1 start of buffer A1 new pointer to buffer
 
ERR.NC -1
ERR.DF -11
IOB.SUML is available only with the SQ systems, data sent with this trap call will not be modified by the TRA settings.
The same feature, in an improved manner, can be assigned to any QDOS compliant system (JM+ tested) by the SIMSER extension. JM or any predecessors, anyway, would need some extension code to enable the output character TRAnslation.
 

 
iow.xtop SD.EXTOP 3 / 9

If D1 points beyond either limit the pointer will be set to the nearest bound.
 
FS.POSRE:
file pointer advanced by signed D1 value, in either direction.
D1:=0 can be used to just read the file access pointer.
Relative positioning should be done in integer increments, only, if any MDV files might be involved.
 

 
iof.minf FS.MDINF 3 / 69

(Re-)Set file header - may be unsafe with certain TK2 versions
  IN:   OUT:  
D1.W length set
A1 Ptr to header data A1 ptr to after header data
 
ERR.NC -1
The trap call will (re-)set the leading 14 bytes of the file header concerned.
Re {3.5.1} for file header structure.

Serial channels will receive an additional leading byte $FF.
For modification of the file date re FS.DATE.
 


 
iof.rhdr FS.HEADR 3 / 71  
Read file header read.
  IN:   OUT:  
D1.W  length received
D2.W buffer length
A1 Ptr to buffer A1 Ptr beyond data
 
ERR.NC -1
ERR.BO -5
Fetches up to 64 bytes (plus a leading byte $ff for serial channels) to the buffer, the maximum of which depends on the device structure concerned.
Some QDOS systems will also set the file pointer to Zero.
 

 
iof.load FS.LOAD 3 / 72  
Fetch any amount of consecutive data to memory
iof.save FS.SAVE 3 / 73  
  Send any amount of consecutive data from memory
  IN:   OUT:  
D1 smashed
D2 file length
A1 Ptr to data area A1 end address after loading/saving
 
D3 should be set to -1, for safe operation.
A1 should be an even address, and D2 an even length value.
 
This trap, despite rarely being an efficient choice, is usually badly implemented, in most systems (SQ inclusive!) and thus should only be used to load/save an entire file. The returned pointer is not always safe!.
 

 

With Toolkit II or MINERVA:
 


 
iof.rnam FS.RENAME 3 / 74  
File rename - TK, MINERVA
  IN:   OUT:  
D1 smashed
A1 Ptr to new Name  A1 smashed
 
Only MINERVA will leave the file update entry unchanged.
Newly opened files cannot be renamed.
 

 
iof.trnc FS.TRUNC 3 / 75  
Truncate file at current access pointer position.
  IN:   OUT:  
  -/-
 


 
 

Additional calls with Level 2 device handler (TK, GoldCard, SQ):
 

 


 

iof.date FS.DATE 3 / 76  
read/enter update or backup date
  IN:   OUT:  
D1 -1: read D1 date set
  0: current date
number: date in seconds 
D2.B   0: Update
  2: Backup
 
Re CDISK for an example using the QDOS clock, instead.
 

 
iof.mkdr FS.MKDR 3 / 77  
Modify empty(!) file to type "directory" 
  IN:   OUT:  
D1 0
D3.W -1
 
 

 
iof.vers FS.VERS 3 / 78  
read/enter 6-bit number file version
  IN:   OUT:  
D1 0 read, D1 current access count
>0 new count
-1 read and increment by one
 
A newly entered access count will remain unchanged until FLUSH and CLOSE.

This trap is also the Thor computers "watermark" (whatever that might be) {SNG}.
 


 
iof.xinf FS.XINF 3 / 79  
Fetch extended media information
  IN:   OUT:

IOI.REMV 48 $30 .b =/= 0 for removable media
IOI.xxxx 49 $31 .b 15 * $ff filling bytes
 

{15} says:
"The error free executable FS.XINF call grants for the Level-02 handler presence...

(some old versions) TK2 bug:
The trap might fetch 100 bytes to the buffer!

SQ/QXL:
IOI.RDON related settings and system reactions on attempts to writing to a write protected medium are not reliable, at all. Files "saved" can even appear in the directory.
 

With "SYSTEM" {Schiemann} only:
 

iof.attr IOF.ATTR 3 / 80  
Set/Clear File-Attribute(s), "SYSTEM" 
  IN:   OUT:  
D1.W toggle D1 smashed
D2.B attribute(s) D2 smashed
 
Toggle:
D1=0 clear attribute
D1=/= 0 set attribute
 
Attributes in D2.B:
  Bit set
7 write protection
6 filename visibility
0-5 user number
111111 with D1:=0 for user 0
 
Files set to attribute 0 can be used as standard (this is the file headers "access" byte),
those with user-no. 0 can always be read and written to, any other files are accessible according to the attributes only if the currently set system user is the same as noted in the attribute/access byte.
The "super user" only, requiring an additional password, can re-define the current system user number.

SYSTEM by and for SQ was rendered useless because of the undocumented use of a system variable which previously was announced to and, according to JS, accepted by the SQ maintainers as being required for "system". - On sufficient demand (only!) this could be fixed in a fairly Tebby-proof manner, pse, give me a notice..
