How to output text to the console
|
||||
---------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
You can use the following functions to access the console:
|
||||
|
||||
* STDOUT:
|
||||
putc (to put a char to stdout)
|
||||
puts (to put a string to stdout)
|
||||
printf (to format and put a string to stdout)
|
||||
stdout
|
||||
- putc() - write a char to stdout
|
||||
- puts() - write a string to stdout
|
||||
- printf() - format and write a string to stdout
|
||||
|
||||
* STDIN:
|
||||
tstc (to test for the presence of a char in stdin)
|
||||
getc (to get a char from stdin)
|
||||
stdin
|
||||
- tstc() - test for the presence of a char in stdin
|
||||
- getchar() - get a char from stdin
|
||||
|
||||
* STDERR:
|
||||
eputc (to put a char to stderr)
|
||||
eputs (to put a string to stderr)
|
||||
eprintf (to format and put a string to stderr)
|
||||
stderr
|
||||
- eputc() - write a char to stderr
|
||||
- eputs() - write a string to stderr
|
||||
- eprintf() - format and write a string to stderr
|
||||
|
||||
* FILE (can be 'stdin', 'stdout', 'stderr'):
|
||||
fputc (like putc but redirected to a file)
|
||||
fputs (like puts but redirected to a file)
|
||||
fprintf (like printf but redirected to a file)
|
||||
ftstc (like tstc but redirected to a file)
|
||||
fgetc (like getc but redirected to a file)
|
||||
file ('stdin', 'stdout' or 'stderr')
|
||||
- fputc() - write a char to a file
|
||||
- fputs() - write a string to a file
|
||||
- fprintf() - format and write a string to a file
|
||||
- ftstc() - test for the presence of a char in file
|
||||
- fgetc() - get a char from a file
|
||||
|
||||
Remember that all FILE-related functions CANNOT be used before
|
||||
U-Boot relocation (done in 'board_init_r' in `arch/*/lib/board.c`).
