Does that mean I open /dev/port and then does inp and outp ?

No you don't have to open the /dev/port<br />
outb and inb are the assembler makros whih you can use.

Hi there,<br />
I saw I have a /dev/port file. Looking in file system, I read it was for accessing to ioport. How can I use it to acces to parallel port ?<br />
How can I specify the io port I want to work with ?<br />
<br />
thanks<br />
