hi folks!

i really need to access the parallel port directly from a piece of software
so i can easily send/receive bytes. can anyone provide me with a code
snippet that does something like that? i'm trying to port qcread, a program
that reads images from a connectix quickcam color in order to set up a web
cam.

what the program does right now for NetBSD/x86 is:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <machine/sysarch.h>
#include <machine/pio.h> /* XXX x86-specific */
  if (i386_iopl(3) != 0) {
    perror("i386_iopl");
    return;

and then read/write to the port with inb and outb. does anyone have tips?

thanks in advance.
