I would be very surprised if UNIX system allowed a user process to access
ports directly.  If you are writing a driver or kernal routine in C,
procedures like the ones in your example could be used.  Turbo C,
for example, will generate in-line code for inport() and outport()
calls.  However, there is no standard here.  You may write your own
in assembler or see if your C library already has them.
