Function (Macro) |
Fetches a byte from the memory.
peek is a macro which fetches a byte from the memory address addr,
where addr does not necessarily need to be a pointer. Instead, it can be of
any type (usually an integer) which may represent a memory address in a way which makes sense.
This way it allows for fetching bytes from memory using the style which is
common in most dialects of the BASIC language. For example, to read a first byte from the
video memory, do this:
byte = peek (0x4C00);
Note that it is better to use LCD_MEM in this case.
Note: Do not use peek for reading I/O ports! Use peekIO instead.
