Opcode: 9 Syntax: int32_t Cconws ( CONST BYTE *buf ); Description: The GEMDOS routine Cconws writes the string buf to GEMDOS handle 1 - normally the standard output device con:. The string must be NULL-terminated (with the ASCII character 0). With GEMDOS versions below 0.15, do not redirect this handle to a write-only device since the call tries to read from the output stream to process the 'special' keys. Return value: Return value: Under TOS 1.04 the function returns the value 0L on successful execution, or the value -1L in case of error. Under other operating systems the function is evidently declared as void, since there it provides no usable return values at all. Availability: All GEMDOS versions.
