The new home for Visual Studio documentation is Visual Studio 2017 Documentation on docs.microsoft.com.

The latest version of this topic can be found at _outp, _outpw, _outpd.

Outputs, at a port, a byte (_outp), a word (_outpw), or a double word (_outpd).

Important
These functions are obsolete. Beginning in Visual Studio 2015, they are not available in the CRT.

Important
This API cannot be used in applications that execute in the Windows Runtime. For more information, see CRT functions not supported with /ZW.

  
      int _outp(  
unsigned short port,  
int databyte   
);  
unsigned short _outpw(  
unsigned short port,  
unsigned short dataword   
);  
unsigned long _outpd(  
unsigned short port,  
unsigned long dataword   
);  

Parameters

port
Port number.

databyte, dataword
Output values.

The functions return the data output. There is no error return.

The _outp, _outpw, and _outpd functions write a byte, a word, and a double word, respectively, to the specified output port. The port argument can be any unsigned integer in the range 0 – 65,535; databyte can be any integer in the range 0 – 255; and dataword can be any value in the range of an integer, an unsigned short integer, and an unsigned long integer, respectively.

Because these functions write directly to an I/O port, they cannot be used in user code in Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003. For information about using I/O ports in these operating systems, search for "Serial Communications in Win32" at MSDN.
