Read -- read input from parallel port
This command causes a stream of characters to be read from the
parallel I/O register. The number of characters is specified in
io_Length. The EOF and EOL modes are supported, but be warned that
using these modes can result in a buffer overflow if the proper
EOL or EOF character is not received in time. These modes should
be used only when the sender and receiver have been designed to
cooperate. A safety guard can be implemented to EOF by setting
io_Length to a maximum allowed value. That cannot be done with EOL
since the EOL mode is identified by io_Length=-1.
The parallel.device has no internal buffer; if no read request has
been made, pending input (i.e. handshake request) is not
acknowledged.
