I'm looking for some info on how to use functions like inb() and outb() to do systems-level programming on FreeBSD. 1.) I need to know the FreeBSD equiv. of the Linux function ioperm(). I would think you just use open() on /dev/pio or /dev/io with the appropriate permissions. 2.) what include files do I need to use to use inb() and outb()? In Linux it's <asm/io.h> Is using ports my only/best option for doing systems-level programming for writing drivers for video cards, or should I use assembly? There's a Linux howto on systems programming, maybe FreeBSD is similar in that respect. so I can just use the Linux howto for FreeBSD. What are ports anyway, is it like you're writing to a special part of memory?
