Input/Output Management

When actors use the ChorusOS Console Input/Output Application Programming Interface, (API), all I/O operations (such as printf() and scanf()) are directed to the system console of the target. Other APIs available include the Microkernel API, the Private Data API and the Standard-C API. These are described in "ChorusOS APIs" in ChorusOS 5.0 Application Developer's Guide.

If an application uses the ChorusOS POSIX Input/Output API and is spawned from the host with rsh, the standard input and output of the application will be inherited from the rsh program and sent to the terminal emulator on the host on which the rsh command was issued.
