Output operation

The user putc function is provided as a part of the XINU API for output operations. This function places one single byte to the buffer output queue. After a character is placed into the buffer the function enables the transmit interrupt. After that as soon as UART hardware is not busy with other tasks, an interrupt is generated and the characters available from the output buffer are transmitted over a serial line.

The write function allows to output a number of characters at once.

The control(hCOMn, GET_OUQ, 0) function returns the unuccupied size of the output queue buffer.
