TEXTIO Procedures

-- Notes Page --


TEXTIO defines two new data types to assist in text handling. The first is the LINE data type. The LINE type is a text buffer used to interface VHDL I/O and the referenced file. Only the LINE type may read from or written to a file.

The second is the FILE type of TEXT. A file of type TEXT may only contain ASCII characters.

Several of the procedures provided by TEXTIO for handling text input/output are also listed in this slide.
