pub trait PortRead {
// Required method
unsafe fn read_from_port(port: u16) -> Self;
}
Expand description
A helper trait that implements the read port operation.
On x86, I/O ports operate on either u8
(via inb
/outb
), u16
(via inw
/outw
),
or u32
(via inl
/outl
). Therefore this trait is implemented for exactly these types.
Required Methods§
sourceunsafe fn read_from_port(port: u16) -> Self
unsafe fn read_from_port(port: u16) -> Self
Reads a Self
value from the given port.
§Safety
This function is unsafe because the I/O port could have side effects that violate memory safety.
Object Safety§
This trait is not object safe.
