By character you mean ASCII character?
8 bits or byte can hold 256 possible values (2^8=256)
C char is 1 byte
C undigned char 1 byte
so then...
C short int 2 bytes
C unsigned short int 2 bytes
C (long) int 4 bytes
C float 4 bytes
C double 8 bytes
In Java byte
By character you mean UCS-2?
16 bits
C short int
C int (sometimes)
Java char and Java short int
By character you mean UCS-4
32 bits
C int (usual)
C long int
Java int
64 bits longword or quadword
C long int (on 64 bit machine)
Java long int
Sometimes it depends on your machine
To allocate space to hold 14 int's
int *ip = malloc(14 * sizeof(int));
whould make room for 14 integers depending on your machine.

SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/io.h>

unsigned long int count);
void outsl(unsigned short int port, const void *addr,
unsigned long int count);
DESCRIPTION
This family of functions is used to do low-level port input and output. The out* functions do port output, the in* functions do port
input; the b-suffix functions are byte-width and the w-suffix functions word-width; the _p-suffix functions pause until the I/O completes.
They are primarily designed for internal kernel use, but can be used from user space.
You must compile with -O or -O2 or similar. The functions are defined as inline macros, and will not be substituted in without optimiza-
tion enabled, causing unresolved references at link time.
You use ioperm(2) or alternatively iopl(2) to tell the kernel to allow the user space application to access the I/O ports in question.
Failure to do this will cause the application to receive a segmentation fault.
CONFORMING TO
outb() and friends are hardware-specific. The value argument is passed first and the port argument is passed second, which is the opposite
order from most DOS implementations.
