Advanced Input/Output Functions


This appendix discusses the advanced I/O (input/output) functions. The CIO (call I/O) function enables you to control the operation of a simulated peripheral device. Before using the CIO function, you should be familiar with the information in Appendix A. By using the KW (key wait) function, your program can read individual keystrokes as they occur.
