Hello,
at least for parallel ports, ppi might help you. There is a short
example in the ppi(4) man page:
To present the value 0x5a to the data port, drive STROBE low and
then
high again, the following code fragment can be used:
int fd;
u_int8_t val;
val = 0x5a;
ioctl(fd, PPISDATA, &val);
ioctl(fd, PPIGCTRL, &val);
val |= STROBE;
ioctl(fd, PPISCTRL, &val);
val &= ~STROBE;
ioctl(fd, PPISCTRL, &val);
HTH,
