created page for the DEVICE-FUNCTION command

New page

@DEVICE-FUNCTION <file name> <function name> (<optional parameter 1>) (<optional parameter 2>)

; <file name> : is the name of the device unit, as specified in the @[[SET-PERIPHERAL-FILE]] command.
; <function name> : is the name of the operation to perform on the device.
; <optional parameter 1> :
; <optional parameter 2> : these two parameters are used to specify more information needed by some operations.

== Functions ==
The following functions can be performed (parameter <function name>) with this command:
=== advance-records ===
; function code (octal) : 15
; optional parameter 1 : number of records to advance.
; allowed on : mag tape, cassette tape, floppy disk
; not allowed on : versatec

=== advance-to-eof ===
; function code (octal) : 10
; optional parameter 1 : number of EOF marks to pass over.
; allowed on : mag tape, cassette tape, floppy disk
; not allowed on : versatec

=== backspace-records ===
; function code (octal) : 15
; optional parameter 1 : number of records to backspace.
; allowed on : mag tape, cassette tape, floppy disk
; not allowed on : versatec

=== clear-device ===
; function code (octal) : 21
; allowed on : mag tape, cassette tape, versatec
; not allowed on : floppy disk
=== clear-selected-unit ===
=== dump-bootstrap ===
=== erase-tape ===
; function code (octal) : 7
; allowed on : cassette tape
; not allowed on : mag tape, versatec, floppy disk
=== format-floppy ===
; function code (octal) : 41
; allowed on : floppy disk
; not allowed on : mag tape, cassette tape, versatec

=== get-current-disc-address ===
=== give-form-feed ===
; function code (octal) : 31
; optional parameter 1 : number of form feeds to give.
; allowed on : versatec
; not allowed on : mag tape, cassette tape, floppy disk

=== lock-cassette ===
; function code (octal) : 6
; allowed on : cassette tape
; not allowed on : mag tape, versatec, floppy disk
This function means that the read / write head of the cassette drive will be moved onto the cassette tape, ready for read / write of the tape. The cassette tape cannot be removed from the cassette drive when the cassette is in lock position.
=== read-byte-record ===
=== read-deleted-record ===
=== read-format ===
=== read-last-status ===
; function code (octal) : 24
; allowed on : mag tape, cassette tape, versatec, floppy disk
This function will return the status from the last operation on the device without extending any [[IOX]] instruction (the status is saved by the driver).
=== read-odd-number-of-bytes ===
=== read-record ===
; function code (octal) : 0
; optional parameter 1 : octal address of data buffer in users area.
; optional parameter 2 : octal number of words to read.
; allowed on : mag tape, cassette tape, floppy disk
; not allowed on : versatec
This function will transfer a specified amount of data to the specified address in the user area ([[background segment]]) from the specified device unit.
=== read-status ===
; function code (octal) : 20
; allowed on : mag tape, cassette tape, versatec, floppy disk
This function will read the status register of the specified device unit by means of an [[IOX]] instruction.
=== read-tape-status ===
=== reverse-to-eof ===
; function code (octal) : 11
; optional parameter 1 : number of EOF marks to pass over.
; allowed on : mag tape, cassette tape, floppy disk
; not allowed on : versatec

=== rewind ===
; function code (octal) : 13
; optional parameter 1 : to load point or address 0.
; allowed on : mag tape, cassette tape, floppy disk
; not allowed on : versatec

=== select-density ===
=== select-parity-and-density ===
; function code (octal) : 23
; optional parameter 1 : density / parity value (see Section 9.2.2.1)
; allowed on : mag tape (yes / no)
; not allowed on : cassette tape, versatec, floppy disk

=== set-alphanumeric-mode ===
; function code (octal) : 30
; allowed on : versatec
; not allowed on : mag tape, cassette tape, floppy disk

=== set-floppy-format ===
; function code (octal) : 40
; optional parameter 1 : format number (see Section 9.2). Format 0 - 256 words per sector, 8 sectors per track (this is the standard format used by Norsk Data A.S.). Format 1 - 128 words per sector, 15 sectors per track. Format 2 - 64 words per sector, 26 sectors per track.

; allowed on : floppy disk
; not allowed on : mag tape, cassette tape, versatec

=== set-graphic-mode ===
; function code (octal) : 31
; allowed on : versatec
; not allowed on : mag tape, cassette tape, floppy disk

=== unload ===
; function code (octal) : 17
; allowed on : mag tape, cassette tape
; not allowed on : versatec, floppy disk

=== unlock-and-stop ===
; function code (octal) : 5
; allowed on : cassette tape
; not allowed on : mag tape, versatec, floppy disk
This function means that the cassette tape will stop and the read / write head will be removed from the tape. The cassette may then be removed from the cassette driver.
=== write-byte-record ===
=== write-eof ===
; function code (octal) : 12
; optional parameter 1 : number of EOF marks to write.
; allowed on : mag tape, cassette tape, floppy disk
; not allowed on : versatec

=== write-erase-gap ===
; function code (octal) : 14
; optional parameter 1 : number of erase gaps to write.
; allowed on : mag tape, cassette tape
; not allowed on : versatec, floppy disk

=== write-record ===
; function code (octal) : 1
; optional parameter 1 : octal address of data buffer in users area.
; optional parameter 2 : octal number of words to write.
; allowed on : mag tape, cassette tape, versatec, floppy disk
This function will transfer a specified amount of data from the specified address in the user area ([[background segment]]) to the specified device unit.
