It may be used to initialize variables of type ChanId. *) InvalidChan PROCEDURE InvalidChan (): ChanId; (* Returns the value identifying the invalid channel. *) (* For each of the following operations, if the device supports the operation on the channel, the behaviour of the procedure conforms with the description below. The full behaviour is defined for each device module. If the device does not support the operation on the channel, the behaviour of the procedure is to raise the exception notAvailable. *) (* Text operations - these perform any required translation between the internal and external representation of text. *) Look PROCEDURE Look (cid: ChanId; VAR ch: CHAR; VAR res: IOConsts.ReadResults); (* If there is a character as the next item in the input stream cid, assigns its value to ch without removing it from the stream; otherwise the value of ch is not defined. res (and the stored read result) are set to the value allRight, endOfLine, or endOfInput. *) Skip PROCEDURE Skip (cid: ChanId); (* If the input stream cid has ended, the exception skipAtEnd is raised; otherwise the next character or line mark in cid is removed, and the stored read result is set to the value allRight. *) SkipLook PROCEDURE SkipLook (cid: ChanId; VAR ch: CHAR; VAR res: IOConsts.ReadResults); (* If the input stream cid has ended, the exception skipAtEnd is raised; otherwise the next character or line mark in cid is removed. If there is a character as the next item in cid stream, assigns its value to ch without removing it from the stream. Otherwise, the value of ch is not defined. res (and the stored read result) are set to the value allRight, endOfLine, or endOfInput. *) WriteLn PROCEDURE WriteLn (cid: ChanId); (* Writes a line mark over the channel cid. *) TextRead PROCEDURE TextRead (cid: ChanId; to: SYSTEM.ADDRESS; maxChars: CARDINAL; VAR charsRead: CARDINAL); (* Reads at most maxChars characters from the current line in cid, and assigns corresponding values to successive components of an ARRAY OF CHAR variable for which the address of the first component is to. The number of characters read is assigned to charsRead. The stored read result is set to allRight, endOfLine, or endOfInput. *) TextWrite PROCEDURE TextWrite (cid: ChanId; from: SYSTEM.ADDRESS; charsToWrite: CARDINAL); (* Writes a number of characters given by the value of charsToWrite, from successive components of an ARRAY OF CHAR variable for which the address of the first component is from, to the channel cid. *) (* Direct raw operations - these do not effect translation between the internal and external representation of data *) RawRead PROCEDURE RawRead (cid: ChanId; to: SYSTEM.ADDRESS; maxLocs: CARDINAL; VAR locsRead: CARDINAL); (* Reads at most maxLocs items from cid, and assigns corresponding values to successive components of an ARRAY OF LOC variable for which the address of the first component is to. The number of characters read is assigned to charsRead. The stored read result is set to the value allRight, or endOfInput. *) RawWrite PROCEDURE RawWrite (cid: ChanId; from: SYSTEM.ADDRESS; locsToWrite: CARDINAL); (* Writes a number of items given by the value of charsToWrite, from successive components of an ARRAY OF LOC variable for which the address of the first component is from, to the channel cid. *) (* Common operations *) GetName PROCEDURE GetName (cid: ChanId; VAR s: ARRAY OF CHAR); (* Copies to s a name associated with the channel cid, possibly truncated (depending on the capacity of s). *) Reset PROCEDURE Reset (cid: ChanId); (* Resets the channel cid to a state defined by the device module. *) Flush PROCEDURE Flush (cid: ChanId); (* Flushes any data buffered by the device module out to the channel cid. *) (* Access to read results *) SetReadResult PROCEDURE SetReadResult (cid: ChanId; res: IOConsts.ReadResults); (* Sets the read result value for the channel cid to the value res. *) ReadResult PROCEDURE ReadResult (cid: ChanId): IOConsts.ReadResults; (* Returns the stored read result value for the channel cid. (This is initially the value notKnown). *) (* Users can discover which flags actually apply to a channel *) CurrentFlags PROCEDURE CurrentFlags (cid: ChanId): ChanConsts.FlagSet; (* Returns the set of flags that currently apply to the channel cid. *) (* The following exceptions are defined for this module and its clients *) TYPE ChanExceptions (type) ChanExceptions = (wrongDevice, (* device specific operation on wrong device *) notAvailable, (* operation attempted that is not available on that channel *) skipAtEnd, (* attempt to skip data from a stream that has ended *) softDeviceError, (* device specific recoverable error *) hardDeviceError, (* device specific non-recoverable error *) textParseError, (* input data does not correspond to a character or line mark - optional detection *) notAChannel (* given value does not identify a channel - optional detection *) ); IsChanException PROCEDURE IsChanException (): BOOLEAN; (* Returns TRUE if the current coroutine is in the exceptional execution state because of the raising of an exception from ChanExceptions; otherwise returns FALSE. *) ChanException PROCEDURE ChanException (): ChanExceptions; (* If the current coroutine is in the exceptional execution state because of the raising of an exception from ChanExceptions, returns the corresponding enumeration value, and otherwise raises an exception. *) (* When a device procedure detects a device error, it raises the exception softDeviceError or hardDeviceError.
