DEFINITION MODULE Termbase;
(*
Terminal input/output with redirection hooks
[Private module of the Modula-2 system]
Derived from the Lilith Modula-2 system developed by the
group of Prof. N. Wirth at ETH Zurich, Switzerland.
*)
EXPORT QUALIFIED
ReadProcedure, StatusProcedure, WriteProcedure,
AssignRead, AssignWrite, UnAssignRead, UnAssignWrite,
Read, KeyPressed, Write;
TYPE
ReadProcedure = PROCEDURE (VAR CHAR);
(*
- To assign a private read procedure (for redirection
of input) a procedure of type 'ReadProcedure' must
be provided. This procedure returns a character
from the input device. It waits until a character
hes been entered.
*)
TYPE
StatusProcedure = PROCEDURE (): BOOLEAN;
(*
- To assign a private status-procedure (for redirection
of input) a procedure of type 'StatusProcedure' must
be provided. This procedure returns TRUE, if a
character is available to read, FALSE otherwise.
*)
TYPE
WriteProcedure = PROCEDURE (CHAR);
(*
- To assign a private write procedure (for redirection
of output) a procedure of type 'WriteProcedure' must
be provided. This is typically used to redirect
output to a file or to the screen and a file (log
file). Special interpretation of characters sent to
the screen can be performed in such a private driver
procedure.
*)
PROCEDURE AssignRead (rp: ReadProcedure;
sp: StatusProcedure;
VAR done: BOOLEAN);
(*
- Install read and status routines for terminal input.
in: rp read-a-character procedure,
sp is-character-available function,
out: done TRUE if the installation was done.
Initially the corresponding procedures of 'Keyboard' are
installed.
Subsequent assignments will be valid until the next
'UnAssignRead' is executed or until the (sub-)program
which has installed the procedures terminates. Upon
termination of a program, the read and status procedures
allocated by that program are removed. Read procedures
are non-sharable resources (see module 'Program').
The assignments are implemented in a stack manner. When a
read procedure is removed, the previously valid procedure
becomes valid again. Up to six levels of re-assignment are
allowed. Done = FALSE if this depth is exceeded.
During execution of a read or status procedure, this
assignments-stack is decremented, which allows an
installed routine to call recursively Terminal.Read
and/or Terminal.KeyPressed to activate the previously
installed routine. At the lowest level however, the
stack is not decremented.
*)
PROCEDURE AssignWrite (wp: WriteProcedure;
VAR done: BOOLEAN);
(*
- Install write routine for terminal output.
in: wp character output procedure,
out: done set TRUE if the installation was done.
[See AssignRead above.]
Initially the procedure Display.Write is assigned.
*)
PROCEDURE UnAssignRead (VAR done: BOOLEAN);
(*
- Undo the last AssignRead by the current program.
out: done set TRUE if there was something to unassign.
The previously valid procedures become active again.
*)
PROCEDURE UnAssignWrite (VAR done: BOOLEAN);
(*
- Undo the last AssignWrite by the current program.
out: done set TRUE if there was something to unassign.
The previously valid procedure becomes active again.
*)
PROCEDURE Read (VAR ch: CHAR);
(*
- Read a character using the current input procedure.
out: ch the character read.
Uses the current read-procedure, as assigned by
AssignRead.
*)
PROCEDURE KeyPressed (): BOOLEAN;
(*
- Test if a character is available from the current input.
Uses the current status-procedure, as assigned by
AssignRead.
*)
PROCEDURE Write (ch: CHAR);
(*
- Write a character to the current output.
in: ch character to write.
Uses the current write-procedure as assigned by
AssignWrite.
*)
END Termbase.
