.SH INTERFACE LEVEL
.sp
.LP
The functions described here are obsolete. For the \fBinb()\fR, \fBinw()\fR,
and \fBinl()\fR functions, use, respectively, \fBddi_get8\fR(9F),
\fBddi_get8\fR(9F), and \fBddi_get8\fR(9F) instead. For \fBrepinsb()\fR,
\fBrepinsw()\fR, and\fBrepinsl()\fR, use, respectively, \fBddi_rep_get8\fR(9F),
\fBddi_rep_get8\fR(9F), and \fBddi_rep_get8\fR(9F) instead.

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
These routines read data of various sizes from the I/O port with the address
specified by \fIport\fR.
.sp
.LP
The \fBinb()\fR, \fBinw()\fR, and \fBinl()\fR functions read 8 bits, 16 bits,
and 32 bits of data respectively, returning the resulting values.
.sp
.LP
The \fBrepinsb()\fR, \fBrepinsw()\fR, and \fBrepinsd()\fR functions read
multiple 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit values, respectively. \fIcount\fR specifies
the number of values to be read. A pointer to a buffer will receive the input
data; the buffer must be long enough to hold count values of the requested
size.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
The \fBinb()\fR, \fBinw()\fR, and \fBinl()\fR functions return the value that
was read from the I/O port.
.SH CONTEXT
.sp
.LP
These functions may be called from user, interrupt, or kernel context.
