DEFINITION MODULE Termbase;
(*
Terminal input/output with redirection hooks
Derived from the Lilith Modula-2 system developed by the
group of Prof. N. Wirth at ETH Zurich, Switzerland.
[Private module of the Modula-2 system]

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 from the same program overwrite the previous
assignments. Upon termination of a program, the read and status
procedures allocated by that program are removed. Read procedures
are sharable resources (see module 'Program').
Up to six levels of re-assignment (corresponding to six levels
of program) are allowed: Done = FALSE if this depth is exceeded.
*)
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, or NUL.
If no character is available, NUL (0C) is returned.
Uses the current status-procedure and read-procedure.
*)
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.
