Using _inp(),_outp() funtions for Communicating with ports
Hi. I'm using Windows 7. I want to learn how does c++ communicate with ports.
I googled and found that functions _inp(),_outp() can do that.
But I don't know how to use them.
Are there any good(and easy to understand) sources from where I can learn how to use these functions.
Are there any other functions that can do the same? Please list.

If you want to communictat via serial port (COM1: etc) you can use the file functions: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms810467.aspx
