Hello,
this evening I subscribed to this list. First, I want to introduce
myself. My name is Jens Koehler, and I am a student of computer science at
the Technical University Clausthal in Germany.
I found this list during my search for a solution how to write a program
that access the parallel port of my Linux PC on a lowlevel layer. Now I
found the documentation of parport.h.
Actually I am quiet confused about this. Is there anybody in this list who
has an example program that opens the parport0 and writes some data to the
data lines of the parallel port? This would do me a great favour.
I have a computer with SuSE 7.0 installed on it with Kernel 2.2.16. So far
as I understand the functions defined in linux/parport.h can be used to
access the lowlevel of the parallel port, but I haven´t found a way to use
the ioctl()-approach to access /dev/parport0. Is this only new in Kernel
2.4.0?
Ok, this were many questions. I hope, someone could give me some answers.
With best greetings
Jens Koehler
