<package name="rtl">
<module name="ports">
<short>Access to hardware ports</short>
<descr>
<p>
The ports unit implements the <var>port</var> constructs found in Turbo Pascal.
It uses classes and default array properties to do this.
</p>
<p>
The unit exists on linux, os/2 and dos. It is implemented only for
compatibility with Turbo Pascal. It's usage is discouraged, because using ports
is not portable programming, and the operating system may not even allow
it (for instance Windows).
</p>
<p>
Under linux, your program must be run as root, or the <var>IOPerm</var> call
must be set in order to set appropriate permissions on the port access.
</p>
</descr>
<element name="TPort">

The <var>TPort</var> type is implemented specially for access to the ports
in a TP compatible manner. There is no need to create an instance of this

Default instance of type <link id="TPort"/>. Do not free. This variable is

Since there is a default property for a variable of this type, a sentence as

Will result in the integer 12 being written to port 221, if port is defined
