Synopsis:
    #include <conio.h>
    unsigned int inpw( int port );

Description:
    The inpw function reads a word (two bytes) from the 80x86 hardware port
    whose number is given by port.

    A hardware port is used to communicate with a device.  One or two bytes
    can be read and/or written from each port, depending upon the hardware.
    Consult the technical documentation for your computer to determine the
    port numbers for a device and the expected usage of each port for a
    device.

Returns:
    The value returned is the word that was read.

Example:
    #include <conio.h>
    #define DEVICE 34

    void main()
      {
        unsigned int transmitted;

        transmitted = inpw( DEVICE );
      }
