Dynamic C function reference

AASC.LIB
The Abstract Application-level Serial Communication (AASC) libraries
allow the programmer to create buffered character streams (CHANNELs)
that perform input/output on serial ports in the communication devices.
One principal library, AASC.LIB, contains all of the application level
functions required for these tasks. The AASC libraries’ function descriptions
make use of the following
typedef struct _Channel * CHANNEL;
which, along with the _Channel structure itself, is defined in AASC.LIB.
The high-level routines handle the bookkeeping for the connections
between the low-level circular buffer and hardware driver libraries. This
allows the same programming framework to use any applicable hardware.
• CHANNEL aascOpen(int Type, char CRTS,
long Param, void(*BRqFnc)())
If successful, initializes a serial device and returns the communication
channel pointer required for all subsequent access to the serial device.
If unsuccessful, returns NULL.
Type is the type of communication device to open: DEV_Z0 (ASCI0,
“Z0”), DEV_Z1 (ASCI1, “Z1”), DEV_UART (XP8700), DEV_ZNET (RS-
485 “zNet” network), DEV_STDIO (Dynamic C STDIO window),
DEV_SCC (Z85C30 SCC port A), DEV_SIO or DEV_SIOA (Z84C90
KIO’s SIO port A).
CRTS specifies whether CTS/RTS handshaking should be used:
nonzero means yes, zero means no.
Param specifies all of the other communication options. Z-World has
defined the following macros.
Number of Data Bits Number of Stop Bits Number of Parity Bits
ASCI_PARAM_7D ASCI_PARAM_1STOP ASCI_PARAM_NOPARITY
ASCI_PARAM_8D ASCI_PARAM_2STOP ASCI_PARAM_OPARITY
ASCI_PARAM_EPARITY

SCC_8DATA SCC_2STOP SCC_OPARITY

These macros apply to port Z0 of the Z180 or to the Serial
Communication Controller. Refer to the Dynamic C driver
descriptions or on-line help for additional macros.
