Therefore, the +\f2-d\f1, \f2-p\f1, \f2-z\f1, \f2-f\f1, \f2-Z\f1, and \f2-n\f1 +options are available for use with \f2jx\f1. See the +.I dmdld(1) +manual page for information on these options. +.PP +\fIStdin\fR directed to the host portion of \f2jx\f1, either through the \f2jx\f1 +command line or with the \fIpopen\fR function, is properly redirected. +Note that input from the 630 MTG keyboard is not translated to \fIstdin\fR +to the host portion of \f2jx\f1. Rather, programs wishing to read from the +keyboard should use \fIkbdchar\fR(3R). +.PP +.I Stdout +and \fIstderr\fR, written to by the below library functions, +will be stored in a buffer during execution. +After the terminal program has +been rebooted, +.I stdout +and +.I stdin +will be redirected to the terminal. +.PP +Programs intended for use by +.I jx +should include \f3<dmd.h>\f1 and <\f3dmdio.h\f1> +and call \fIexit\fR(3R) upon termination. \fIExit\fR() returns control to +the shell and causes a reboot of +the default terminal emulator. +.PP +What follows is a list of +stdio library functions available under \fIjx\fR. +These functions are called +from an application downloaded into the 630 MTG +by \f2jx\f1. The \f2jx\f1 library routines in the terminal then +translate the call into a message which is sent to the host portion +of \f2jx\f1 for processing. +.sp +.TS +center; +l l l l. +getc getchar fgets fflush +.sp +putc putchar puts fputs +.sp +fopen freopen fclose access +.sp +popen pclose fread fwrite +.sp +printf Printf fprintf Fprintf +.TE +.sp +The functions fprintf and printf are stripped down versions of +those on UNIX.
