If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
Why do I need this driver? Can't I just access palallel port from my code???Code:The ppdev driver enables accessing port bits, interrupts, negotiating, and setting modes.
Well if you're looking for some drop-in replacement for outport() in DOS, then you're stuck. Linux is a protected OS, so random access to bits of hardware are not allowed for mortals. Super users have some access though.

Plus do some searches for "/dev/parport" and "/dev/port"
