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

Description:
    The inpd function reads a double-word (four 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 double-word that was read.
