Redefining target-dependent system I/O functions in the C library

Redefining target-dependent system I/O functions in the C library

rt_sys.h defines the type FILEHANDLE. The value of FILEHANDLE is returned by _sys_open() and identifies an open file on the host system.

The default target-dependent I/O functions use semihosting. If any of these functions is redefined, then they must all be redefined. Example 11 shows you how to do this, for a device that supports writing but not reading.

Example 11. Retargeting the system I/O functions

FILEHANDLE _sys_open(const char *name, int openmode)
{
  return 1; /* everything goes to the same output */
}

int _sys_close(FILEHANDLE fh)
{
  return 0;
}
int _sys_write(FILEHANDLE fh, const unsigned char *buf,
               unsigned len, int mode)
{
  your_device_write(buf, len);
  return 0;
}
int _sys_read(FILEHANDLE fh, unsigned char *buf,
              unsigned len, int mode)
{
  return -1; /* not supported */
}
void _ttywrch(int ch)
{
  char c = ch;
  your_device_write(&c, 1);
}
int _sys_istty(FILEHANDLE fh)
{
  return 0; /* buffered output */
}
int _sys_seek(FILEHANDLE fh, long pos)
{
  return -1; /* not supported */
}
long _sys_flen(FILEHANDLE fh)
{
  return -1; /* not supported */
}

If the system I/O functions are redefined, both normal character I/O and wide character I/O work. That is, you are not required to do anything extra with these functions for wide character I/O to work.
