Important
This API cannot be used in applications that execute in the Windows Runtime. For more information, see CRT functions not supported with /ZW.
int _inp( 
   unsigned short port 
);
unsigned short _inpw( 
   unsigned short port 
);
unsigned long _inpd( 
   unsigned short port 
);
Parameters
- port
 I/O port number.
Return Value
The functions return the byte, word, or double word read from port. There is no error return.
Remarks
The _inp, _inpw, and _inpd functions read a byte, a word, and a double word, respectively, from the specified input port. The input value can be any unsigned short integer in the range 0 – 65,535.
Because these functions read directly from an I/O port, they might not be used in user code in Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003.
