Cprnout()                                                            GEMDOS

Syntax

WORD Cprnout( ch )
WORD ch;

Function      Cprnout() sends one character to GEMDOS handle 3 (normally
              'prn:').

Opcode        5 (0x05)

Availability  All GEMDOS versions.

Parameters    ch is a WORD value, however, only the lower 8 bits are sent
              to the output stream. The upper eight bits should be 0.

Binding       move.w   ch,-(sp)
              move.w   #$5,-(sp)
              trap     #1
              addq.l   #4,sp

Return Value  Cprnout() returns a non-zero value if the function
              successfully wrote the character to the printer or 0
              otherwise.

Comments      No input translation is performed with this call. Therefore,
              you must send an ASCII 13 and ASCII 10 to force a new line.
