.. _KernelCharacterIOSupportDirectives:

Directives
==========

This section details the directives of the Kernel Character I/O Support. A
subsection is dedicated to each of this manager's directives and lists the
calling sequence, parameters, description, return values, and notes of the
directive.

.. Generated from spec:/rtems/io/if/putc

.. raw:: latex

    \clearpage

.. index:: rtems_putc()

.. _InterfaceRtemsPutc:

rtems_putc()
------------

Outputs the character to the kernel character output device.

.. rubric:: CALLING SEQUENCE:

.. code-block:: c

    void rtems_putc( char c );

.. rubric:: PARAMETERS:

``c``
    This parameter is the character to output.

.. rubric:: DESCRIPTION:

The directive outputs the character specified by ``c`` to the kernel character
output device using the polled character output implementation provided by
BSP_output_char.  The directive performs a character translation from ``NL`` to
``CR`` followed by ``NR``.

If the kernel character output device is concurrently accessed, then
interleaved output may occur.

.. rubric:: CONSTRAINTS:

The following constraints apply to this directive:

* The directive may be called from within any runtime context.

* The directive will not cause the calling task to be preempted.

.. Generated from spec:/rtems/io/if/put-char

.. raw:: latex

    \clearpage

.. index:: rtems_put_char()

.. _InterfaceRtemsPutChar:

rtems_put_char()
----------------

Puts the character using :ref:`InterfaceRtemsPutc`

.. rubric:: CALLING SEQUENCE:

.. code-block:: c

    void rtems_put_char( int c, void *unused );

.. rubric:: PARAMETERS:

``c``
    This parameter is the character to output.

``unused``
    This parameter is an unused argument.

.. rubric:: NOTES:

The directive is provided to support the RTEMS Testing Framework.

.. rubric:: CONSTRAINTS:

The following constraints apply to this directive:

* The directive may be called from within any runtime context.

* The directive will not cause the calling task to be preempted.

.. Generated from spec:/rtems/io/if/putk

.. raw:: latex

    \clearpage

.. index:: putk()

.. _InterfacePutk:

putk()
------

Outputs the characters of the string and a newline character to the kernel
character output device.

.. rubric:: CALLING SEQUENCE:

.. code-block:: c

    int putk( const char *s );

.. rubric:: PARAMETERS:

``s``
    This parameter is the string to output.

.. rubric:: RETURN VALUES:

Returns the number of characters output to the kernel character output device.

.. rubric:: NOTES:

The directive may be used to print debug and test information.  It uses
:ref:`InterfaceRtemsPutc` to output the characters.  This directive performs a
character translation from ``NL`` to ``CR`` followed by ``NR``.

If the kernel character output device is concurrently accessed, then
interleaved output may occur.

.. rubric:: CONSTRAINTS:

The following constraints apply to this directive:

* The directive may be called from within any runtime context.

* The directive will not cause the calling task to be preempted.

.. Generated from spec:/rtems/io/if/printk

.. raw:: latex

    \clearpage

.. index:: printk()

.. _InterfacePrintk:

printk()
--------

Outputs the characters defined by the format string and the arguments to the
kernel character output device.

.. rubric:: CALLING SEQUENCE:

.. code-block:: c

    int printk( const char *fmt, ... );

.. rubric:: PARAMETERS:

``fmt``
    This parameter is a printf()-style format string.

``...``
    This parameter is a list of optional parameters required by the format
    string.

.. rubric:: RETURN VALUES:

Returns the number of characters output to the kernel character output device.

.. rubric:: NOTES:

The directive may be used to print debug and test information.  It uses
:ref:`InterfaceRtemsPutc` to output the characters.  This directive performs a
character translation from ``NL`` to ``CR`` followed by ``NR``.

If the kernel character output device is concurrently accessed, then
interleaved output may occur.

.. rubric:: CONSTRAINTS:

The following constraints apply to this directive:

* The directive may be called from within any runtime context.

* The directive will not cause the calling task to be preempted.

* Formatting of floating point numbers is not supported.

.. Generated from spec:/rtems/io/if/vprintk

.. raw:: latex

    \clearpage

.. index:: vprintk()

.. _InterfaceVprintk:

vprintk()
---------

Outputs the characters defined by the format string and the variable argument
list to the kernel character output device.

.. rubric:: CALLING SEQUENCE:

.. code-block:: c

    int vprintk( const char *fmt, va_list ap );

.. rubric:: PARAMETERS:

``fmt``
    This parameter is a printf()-style format string.

``ap``
    This parameter is the variable argument list required by the format string.

.. rubric:: RETURN VALUES:

Returns the number of characters output to the kernel character output device.

.. rubric:: NOTES:

The directive may be used to print debug and test information.  It uses
:ref:`InterfaceRtemsPutc` to output the characters.  This directive performs a
character translation from ``NL`` to ``CR`` followed by ``NR``.

If the kernel character output device is concurrently accessed, then
interleaved output may occur.

.. rubric:: CONSTRAINTS:

The following constraints apply to this directive:

* The directive may be called from within any runtime context.

* The directive will not cause the calling task to be preempted.

* Formatting of floating point numbers is not supported.

list to the kernel character output device.

.. rubric:: CALLING SEQUENCE:

.. code-block:: c

    int rtems_printk_printer( void *unused, const char *fmt, va_list ap );

.. rubric:: PARAMETERS:

``unused``
    This parameter is an unused argument.

    This parameter is a printf()-style format string.

``ap``
    This parameter is the variable argument list required by the format string.

.. rubric:: RETURN VALUES:

.. _InterfaceGetchark:

getchark()
----------

Tries to dequeue a character from the kernel character input device.

.. rubric:: CALLING SEQUENCE:

.. code-block:: c

    int getchark( void );

.. rubric:: DESCRIPTION:

The directive tries to dequeue a character from the kernel character input
device using the polled character input implementation referenced by
BSP_poll_char if it is available.

.. rubric:: RETURN VALUES:

``-1``
    The BSP_poll_char pointer was equal to `NULL
    <https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/types/NULL>`_.

Returns the character least recently enqueued on the kernel character input
device as an unsigned character value.

.. rubric:: CONSTRAINTS:

The following constraints apply to this directive:

* The directive may be called from within any runtime context.

* The directive will not cause the calling task to be preempted.
